On October 3, 1997 nuclear submarine K-447 Kislovodsk carried out an RSM-40 missile firing from a Barents Sea, dedicated to the 50th anniversary of Makeyev Design Bureau and 40th anniversary of the 1st satellite launch. The head part of the missile carried a container with a special commemorative cargo (envelopes, badges, pennants, etc) landed in Kamchatka at Kura missile range. Some sources state that 2300 covers were carried and cancelled in Vilyuchinsk on 4.10.07 others list 2100 but in any case only 2000 certificates were issued by Makeyev Bureau, thus the exact number cannot be confirmed.
