Alexei was a victim of the Kursk submarine disaster, wherein a nuclear-powered Russian naval submarine suffered an accidental explosion and sank, taking to the depths all the 118 crewmembers on board.
Alexei was a turbine operator in Kursk's 7th compartment. Alexei survived the initial explosions, and fled the rapidly decompressing compartments to the 9th and final compartment; there, he, alongside 22 other crewmates, waited for a rescue that never came. Eventually, they ran out of oxygen, or succumbed to hypothermia in the freezing waters.
