Whatever happened to the ultranationalist leader Radchenko?


I heard that by the end of the movie his rebellion gets quelled, and I know the main conflict of the movie is between the two captains of the Alabama, but does anyone know what happens to Radchenko? Does he die? Does he live? Or at least gets captured?

Not part of the film.
Simple is that. Insofar as the film is concerned, it doesn't matter. What matters is that the rebellion gave in and surrendered. What happened to the leader is inconsequential to the film itself.

People can give you answers, but all of them would be crap because there is no answer. All answers would be just their opinion/guesses because what happens to him IS NOT part of the film.

I am curious as well. I always believed Crimson Tide had a fascinating backstory. In the wake of the end of the Cold War and the collapse of the Soviet Union, there was a "We're Not Out of the Woods Yet" atmosphere in that folks feared that a Russian civil war would erupt and bring about consequences not much different from World War III erupting a decade or two earlier. Even as late as 2002, you saw that fears of a fractured former Soviet Union erupting in warfare were still prevalent, as evidenced by films such as The Sum of All Fears. I feel as though it is only within the last ten years that those fears have legitimately subsided.

Crimson Tide definitely had a backdrop that was the sign of the geopolitical times.
