Some Russian internet mass media say the fire started where "Kasatonov" is being constructed but give no sourse of that data. Some say that MChS gives no detail about the vessel on fire.
No trustworthy info yet.

Its now said that the fire occurred on a "large antisubmarine ship" that was in a repair and upgrade process. The fire is eliminated by now and one crew member suffered minor injuries.

Yea the fire occurred in a Udaloy-1 class destroyer that been out of service for nearly 20 years. I wonder what kind of repair they 've been doing for 20 years? Hope the injury to the one person is not too bad though.

Умер Вячеслав Тихонов

В Москве на 82-м году жизни скончался актер Вячеслав Тихонов. Об этом сообщили в прямом эфире телеканала "Вести".

Спустя 10 лет вышел фильм Сергея Бондарчука "Война и мир", в котором актер воплотил образ Андрея Болконского; через год вышел "Доживем до понедельника", также с участием Тихонова.
В 1973 году на телеэкраны вышел фильм Татьяны Лиозновой "Семнадцать мгновений весны", в котором Тихонов сыграл советского разведчика Максима Исаева (Штирлица) - свою самую знаменитую роль.
