Description:

The submarine D-2 Narodovolets is one of the first submarines built by Soviets. In 1934 and 1935 D-2 undertook a voyage to Novaya Zemlya (The New Land). In 1936, her travel through the Matochkin Shar (Matochkin Strait) to the Karsk Sea took place for the first time in history. August 17, 1941, the submarine was commissioned into the Baltic Navy. The exhibition dedicated to the history of D-2 and actions by Soviet submariners in the war time was prepared by the personnel of the Central Naval Museum. The compartments of the D-2 submarine and her exterior were reconstructed to make them look the same way they were in the years of the Great Patriotic War. On July 8, 1989 the submarine was set up in Leningrad as a naval and shipbuilding memorial. On September, 2, 1994, the memorial complex "Submarine D-2 Narodovolets" was inaugurated as a branch of the Central Naval Museum
