Salvagers of the Kursk received like heads of state
MOSKOW – Yesterday, during a reception held in the Kremlin President Putin personally thanked the Dutch salvagers of the Kursk nuclear submarine for their ‘fantastic work’. During a reception which bore similarity with the receptions granted to heads of state, President Putin confessed that the decision to salvage the Kursk was a personal decision – and a decision taken under great pressure. “In fact it was almost impossible – but you have succeeded in completing what was nothing less than a unique operation.” The reception in the Kremlin marked the end of what had been a nerve-racking operation for the Dutch salvagers. During the reception, held in a small hall in the Russian centre of power, President Putin talked with Mammoet’s Jan and Frans van Seumeren for more than an hour. Almost one year earlier, during his visit to Moscow the then Dutch Prime Minister, Mr Wim Kok, had been granted only a little more of President Putin’s time.
