UPDATE:
Recent news reports that the dive did not, in fact set a new record and that the submarine did not dive as deep as was previously reported. Here's an updated news story:

Old blog about Lake Baikal that hasn't been updated for many years.
Also! There is a video on youtube about this and they actually show this submarine there. This video with the cow and called RUSSIA CLOSE-UP. I know some people who are interviewed there.
