Vytegra is a town in Vologda region, Russia, located along the shores of the Vytegra River on Volga-Baltic Waterway 320 km northwest of Vologda. The main point of interest in this town with crackjaw name is the museum “Submarine B-440” which was opened in 2005.
At first it seems strange that such museum is located in a place where a submarine is a rarity. But it is no mere chance that the museum appeared here. Headquarters of Onezhskaya fleet located here during the Great Patriotic War. Furthermore, it is a native land of many Russian admirals including “K”-type diesel submarine designer Michael Rudnitsky.
