Sergei Preminin was a Russian sailor who sacrificed his life on submarine "K-219" to shut down the two nuclear reactors by hand. [ [http://www.vologda-oblast.ru/persones.asp?LNG=ENG&CODE=49] Vologda Oblast Government web site] Due to the changed pressure onboard the submarine the hatch from the reactor compartment was not able to open to let him out or to shut down the reactor. He was later honoured with a statue in the dock where the submarine set sail.

In Skornyakovo a marble plaque commemorates Preminin's heroism with an inscription that reads: "To Russian Seaman Sergei Preminin, who prevented the world from a nuclear catastrophe." [ [http://www.vologda-oblast.ru/persones.asp?LNG=ENG&CODE=49 VOLOGODIANS] ]
