however, the turks, who owned a vast territory on three continents, did not set as their goal the seizure of russian lands; plans to enslave russia, turn it into their raw materials appendage, had long been harbored by sweden; it had already occupied the original russian lands, the former possessions of veliky novgorod, for more than 100 years and cut off russia's access to the baltic sea.
1:27 pm
was sure that russia would not recover soon and went to fight in poland. peter managed to make the most of the respite given to him. peter began the campaign by displacing the enemy from the original russian lakes and rec. in the summer of 1702, small detachments of russians broke through from lake pskov to lake peipsi; by the fall, acting with incomparably smaller forces, but heroically, the russian fleet forever ousted the swedes from lake ladazh.
1:28 pm
the path was blocked by the bush of the neva by the ancient novgorod fortress oreshek, which the swedes owned for almost centuries. peter ordered the construction of about 200 km of roads through swamps and forest thickets and transported two yachts and 50 large boats by land. on october 11, 1702, after a ten-day siege and a fierce thirteen-hour assault, the fortress was taken. the king renamed it shlisel. the city is the key, the key to access to the baltic sea. in the next summer campaign in 173, the russians captured the important fortress of nien chance. today this place is within the northern capital. on may 16 , 1703, peter founded the peter and paul fortress and the city of st. petersburg on hare island. from now on, all the banks of the niva were recaptured. and then construction began.
1:29 pm
the tsar was in a hurry to build an invincible line of breakthrough into the baltic, but having secured a reliable rear for himself, peter was in a hurry to consolidate his success, constantly expanding the window he had broken into europe. time still works for him. karl refused to see any danger in russia, he ignored them. the successes, well , modest at first, that peter achieved in the baltic states, these successes of gansta’s cards were considered insignificant and easily countered by a blow to the heart of the russian state, he thought that he was going to moscow, in fact, this would all end. in june 1705, charles x finally turned his attention to the enemy who was gaining strength. he sent a squadron of twenty-two ships to capture kotler island.
1:31 pm
1:32 pm
some close associates recommended that peter limit himself to the reconquest of the original russian lands, but the tsar did not like half measures; he wanted to put an end to sweden’s domination in the baltic. the swedish fleet was still a powerful force; at a favorable moment it could again try to occupy the coastal territories of its power. moreover, peter had not yet there was an opportunity to truly implement the strategic choice made at the time. the tsar’s most important decision was to focus not on the sailing fleet of the high seas, which was the difference between holland and england, and what sweden had, but on the sailing fleet. was another strong character trait of the russian tsar. peter did not want to thoughtlessly transplant successful western experience onto russian soil; he proceeded from the specific conditions of his country and its goals. all the tragedies of the century began with a shot

1:34 pm
guessing game, new episodes, tomorrow on the first. having ceded the northern coast of the gulf of finland to the russians, their stronghold port of helsing force, modern helsinki, the swedes organized a defense when entering the gulf of bothnia. at the level of the gangut peninsula, today it is called khanka, they concentrated 28 warships . in june 1714, reaching gangut. fyodor matveevich opraksin, who managed the naval department and led the russian fleet in that company, considered this an insurmountable obstacle and did not dare to go further. he was inclined to build fortresses in which he intended to spend the winter and resume hostilities when shipping began. and praxin asked for
1:35 pm
instructions. peter rushed over himself and over the course of several days played a complex chess combination, which, however, included some luck. firstly, peter personally found a narrow 2.5 km sandy isthmus, which made it possible to bypass the swedish sailing ships to transport some of the golers into the gulf of bothnia.
1:36 pm
the chiefs and the fleet became russia's trump card. this victory ensured control of the russian army over finland. moreover, from now on the gulf of bothnia, including stockholm, was no longer an internal lake for the swedes. there were still 7 years left before peace was concluded, but ganguut became a kind of stalingrad, marking the outcome of the war at sea. to conduct combat operations at sea it was required. more and more ships. in addition to the solombolskaya shipyard in arkhangelsk in
1:37 pm
1702-1703 , huge shipyards were quickly built on the svir river, in a place that is still called ladeynaya pole. there they built lodia, karbosy, soyma, well new ladoga, also on the sites of traditional shipbuilding on the islands on the volkhakh river. shipbuilding began, but the main shipyard of the baltic fleet became the admiralty, founded according to peter i’s own drawing on november 5, 1704. no matter how often peter ii went to personally command the fleet, no matter what the military situation was, he never stopped participating in the construction of ships. he had a long day.
1:38 pm
distinguished it favorably from other ships of this class, including foreign ships. laid down at the admiralty shipyard in 1709 poltava, entered service in 1712 and became the flagship ship of the baltic squadron. today, the battleship poltava is being recreated in life-size at one of the shipyards in st. petersburg. you and i are in the hold of the ship poltava. now it is active. installation of readers, these are such products, this is an additional transverse set, that is

, it repeats the shape of the frames, in principle they are similar to frames, only they are placed on the internal sheathing, they serve to strengthen the hull, oak was selected of good quality, we made templates, using these templates we selected the size to fit the futex, the blank for the part, then we did it after assembly. on special plazas, these frames gave them a shape, we give them, when one frame went out for a month, this is our carving that will be presented at the stern of the ship , we naturally process it in the old old-fashioned way, mainly with tomes, this is the material - this is extra, then we will impregnate it with a special mixture, and subsequently it will be... colored, that is, the way it was before on the ship. at all times
1:40 pm
peter distinguished not only his sailors and naval commanders, but also shipbuilders. on the pens , he always went to the shipbuilders’ table, drank and hugged his two favorite shipbuilders, fedosei sklyaev and gavrila menshikova. not as quickly as he would like, but over the years. russia acquired the vast coasts of the baltic, created the most powerful fleet in this area, and put an end to dominion.

1:43 pm
we don’t know whether the jester hoped to receive this money or not, but he never received the reward. 3 years after her ascension to the throne, catherine ii organized a review for the baltic fleet. judging by her conclusion, he did not at all correspond to the status of a major european power. she said this: we have an abundance of ships and people, but we have neither a fleet nor sailors. the ships were like a fleet that leaves every year from holland for fishing herring, and not for military purposes. by the time catherine comes to power, we are talking about the fact that the russian fleet had already lost its combat experience, and the ship’s personnel from the time of peter, and of course, and of course, the experience of the sailors; perhaps
1:44 pm
catherine’s strict assessment was explained rather by her intention to raise the fleet is at a radically different level, at the same time. the new empress proclaims the prosperity of her country and the well-being of her subjects as the goal of her reign, and this can only be achieved in peace. the strong russia that we originally wanted catherine ii, to see her power strong, with a powerful fleet, with a powerful defensive fleet, she said that catherine, these are her words, that... i, she says, am very suspicious and distrustful of offensive alliances, but i prefer defensive alliances, however, later circumstances will still force mother empress to fight with sweden and twice with turkey, that is, 13 of the 34 years of her reign, almost a third, the country spent in
1:45 pm
wars. during the northern war , rowing ships played a decisive role. however, under catherine ii the combat core of the baltic navy, which at that time was russia's only one, consisted of sailing ships. the largest of them - two or three decks - began to be called linear. during the battle, they lined up with their sides facing the enemy. only ships armed with at least 54 cannons could be called battleships. however , the number of guns could exceed 100. a... despite the difference in size and armament, steamships are structurally similar to each other. based on this thoroughly accurate model of a swedish frigate that was captured during
1:46 pm
during the battle of elections in 1790, one can clearly imagine its structure. a sailing ship is not just a jumble of sails, ropes, wood, and spars, it is a carefully thought-out engineering structure. the basis of the strength of a ship's hull is its keel, a person has a spine, a ship has a keel, a stem is attached to it, a powerful, durable structure that forms the bow of the ship, in the aft part a sternpost is attached to the end of the keel, which forms the power structure of the stern. frames, ribs of the ship, which are also no longer visible. they were sheathed with boards either in a joint or in an overlap, the so-called clinker method, when the upper board overlaps the lower one. clinker plating
1:47 pm
was invented by the ancient vikings 800-900 years ago; their ships had very light stiffening ribs and frames, which allowed these ships to work flexibly on a wave, bend at the top of the wave, and between two waves, and not break. ships can fall in battle, become unusable from old age, become obsolete, but they are built primarily to withstand the most severe storms. well, firstly, if we talk about the appearance of the sailing fleets of the 14th-18th centuries, they were not white-winged. the sails were made from hemp fabric, which when new was of such a greenish-brownish-grayish color, and then as it wore out... it acquired a more or less light gray color as it burned out, so the sails were more brown than white. it's rare to see a sailing ship under full sail.
1:48 pm
there was no need to set all the sails, because the sails were set in according to the wind. if the wind was low, then lower sails were set. the sail design is quite complex. the sail was overlapped from narrow strips of canvas about 70 cm wide. the number of stitches for each foot of seam was strictly regulated. neither the strength of the seams nor the time needed to complete this work should have suffered. the most vulnerable parts of the sail were reinforced with a second layer of canvas, the edge being folded. then the sail was sheathed around the entire perimeter with cable and special cable.
1:49 pm
used as the main propulsion device of a ship, when it moves with a tailwind or slightly behind from the side, the so-called backstay. triangular sails are used as steering sails. it was with such a sailing fleet that the russian empire entered its first war under the new ruler. catherine the second really didn’t get into a fight herself, but she knew how to give change like no one else. whenever russia gained strength, the major european powers united to prevent it from taking its rightful place in the world. however, they did not always enter into open confrontation, preferring to wage war by someone else's hands. in 1768, austria and france pushed the ottoman empire to attack russian lands. in the danube theater
1:50 pm
, military operations are led by prince potemkin, count rumyantsev, and commander alexander suvrov, unpredictable for the enemy. another prominent ally of catherine, count grigory orlov, expresses a daring proposal from his brother alexei to send a squadron to the aegean sea. raise an uprising in greece and create a threat to turkey in its rear. the empress has always been a supporter of non-standard decisions. it was an epic in which neither the turks, nor the europeans, nor many russians believed in its success. sailors who had never sailed further than the baltic gulf of bothnia traveled 4,500 miles, circumnavigated europe, crossed the mediterranean sea and entered the aegean archive. in the end, about 50 russian warships ended up under the command of count alexei orlov . and this squadron not only drew off the forces of the turkish fleet, it... every

modern sailor wears a collar, a collar, on which there are three blue stripes on a white background, they are considered the largest victories in the history of the russian fleet. the first stripe is gangut, this is peter the great. the third stripe is sinop, the swan song, the last battle of the sailing fleet, between them is chesma, this is victory at chesma. on june 23 , 1770, russian reconnaissance cruisers discovered the enemy fleet, it was anchored in the strait between the island of chios and the coast of asia minor. the turkish fleet consisted of 16 battleships, six frigates and up to 60 small ships, with a total of 1,430 guns. the russian squadron was twice as weak, nine linear
1:52 pm
ships, three frigates and... despite the almost double advantage of the ottoman fleet at the council of war, the russian admirals came to a common opinion to attack. the battle reached its climax when both flagships, the turkish real mustafa and the russian eustathen, fell down, that is, they grappled with their sides. on the russian flagship was the admiral who commanded the vanguard. both ships were on fire. obeying the naval regulations, spiridov left eustafia, which was doomed. and soon a burning turkish mainmast fell on him. sparks hit a cruid chamber, a powder magazine, and the ship was blown up with its six hundred crew members. for fear of fires.
1:54 pm
had already crashed into the enemy fleet, then naturally a fire occurred, the wooden ships, the fire spread to other ships, one by one, they exploded. in the era of the sailing fleet, they fought only during daylight hours, but the russian naval commanders decided to continue the battle at night. under cover of darkness, despite shelling from shore batteries, 11 russian ships entered.

russian empire. for 4 years, russian ships disorganized life in the rear of the ottoman empire, preventing it from rebuilding the fleet, disrupting the supply of wheat and... june 1774, russia regained azov and taganrok and acquired kerch and yanikale, which consolidated possession of the sea of azov and opened access to the black sea . they passed on to her

lands between the dnieper and bug, including the kenburn fortress. the ottoman empire recognized the independence of the crimean khanate, as well as the tatar-kuban, budzhak nagai, and new ones. the border was drawn along the kuban river. russia received free access to the black sea and could create a fleet and coastal infrastructure on it, and its merchant ships were given the right to unhindered passage through the basphoras of the dordanelles. it was an unconditional victory, of course, both military and diplomatic, to be honest. and, strictly speaking, this laid the preconditions annexation of crimea to russia. what is crimea for? russia, well, why explain it, even to a non-military person, in my opinion, it’s clear, just look at the map of the black sea, and this region, that whoever owns crimea controls the black sea. in exchange for these important territorial gains and political concessions, catherine the great
1:58 pm
agreed to return to turkey the archipelago islands that had become russian citizenship and to withdraw the fleet from the aegean sea. russia received territories that... russia received the right to acquire on the shores black sea with its own fleet, but any right still needs to be realized, what did it mean to create a new fleet in the south of the country? this meant the same thing, approximately like building the baltic fleet under petri velik, that is
1:59 pm
, creating a very complex infrastructure in an absolutely bare place. catherine entrusted the creation of the black sea fleet to her favorite, his serene highness prince grigory potemkin. how much did he jump? from kherson, i rode for 20 days, here i was tired, but not tired from the road, from worries, my only eye was on my forehead, mother dove, crimea should be annexed to russia commanded for eternity, and with what will i build the fleet, and from what, from arkhangelsk, every log is dragged, for nails to the urals, the little people are dying like flies, kerson, where darkness came from with his report. became the first city created around the shipyards under construction in the lower reaches of the dnieper. by the way, these works were supervised by general zeichmeister hannibal, pushkin’s great-grandfather, who had already become famous in battles in the aegean sea. later, they found an even more convenient place in
2:00 pm
2:01 pm
bay near the village of akhtiar was ideal. an entire fleet could take shelter from a storm in it; the great depth allowed even battleships to moor off the coast. thanks to the wide ice-free passage, access to... was ensured at any time of the year, small bays protruding from the bay into the shore made it possible to develop admiralties, shipyards and other port facilities, and... the fortifications erected on coastal elevations were capable of protecting raid from enemy attacks from land. there a port and a city were founded, named in advance sevastopol, which means famous city. in kilenbukhta, the sudaki were poured, that is, they were laid on their sides and the bottom was repaired, cleaned and oiled. in holland bay, by analogy with st. petersburg, were located.
2:02 pm
this was achieved not only by the extraordinary effort of the entire population of russia, but also by the mind and energy of one person, his serene highness prince grigory alexandrovich potemkin. it was thanks to potemkin that from the late seventies of the 16th century, russian ships began to sail across the expanses of the black sea for the first time after the campaigns of the kiev princes, only they no longer looked like boats. now, in the eyes of the whole world, russia has become a full
2:03 pm
member of the club of great sea powers; it was difficult to imagine that less than a century ago it was a land power on the sidelines of technological progress, so the century became for russia a time of a giant civilizational leap. under peter the great, the country reached the shores of the baltic and created there a fleet that quickly came to dominate these waters. during the reign of catherine the great, the russian empire conquered the northern coast of the black sea, developed these territories, and built a military fleet there according to all the rules of art. and these new ships were soon to write some of the most significant pages in the history of the russian fleet. where we are, there is victory. the marine corps performs tasks in three elements: on land and on water.

2:06 pm
an empty compliment, my father’s feelings are more important to me, most likely at this sad moment, god needed you more, for some reason? our exclusive is the family archive of mikhail zadorny. exclusive with dmitry borisov. on saturday, on the first. by the end of the 18th century, a crisis had arisen in the tactics of naval battles; in the classic version, they looked like this: dozens, sometimes up to hundreds of ships, following wake columns. approached enemy ships, lined up on a parallel course and opened artillery fire. it was literally a duel: opponents remained in their places, the one who had more guns, more cannonballs, and shot more accurately and quickly won. boarding as a method
2:07 pm
of combat was becoming a thing of the past. a new word in the tactics of naval battles, said the russian naval commander. in the second half of june 178 , the russian army besieged the turkish fortress of ochakov, which covered the entrance to the dnieper-budd estuary. a detachment of seventeen battleships, eight frigates and 24 small ships of various types was sent from istanbul to help the besieged. a russian squadron set out for the meeting from sevastopol in composition.
2:08 pm
prepare the ship for battle, according to the rules of linear tactics, the squadron, which occupied an unfavorable leeward position, was inferior to the enemy in the number of ships , was forbidden to engage in battle, but ushakov boldly led his detachment against the enemy, they did not fight like that, attack from a leeward position, striking the flagship ships from an extremely short distance, conducting a battle without strictly observing the wake...
2:09 pm
in his report to the empress, prince potemkin, who was besieging ochakov, wrote about bushakov like this: where to find such a hunter before a fight? he relieved vainovich from command of the sevastopol squadron, appointing a young naval commander to this place. ushakov was one of those people whom potemkin favored, and potemkin always supports ushakov and his rapid career growth, comparatively on the black sea, this must be said thanks to potemkin, who recognized the talented in ushakov.
2:10 pm
on the battleship nativity of christ, managed to get into the head of the squadron, no one had ever done this before, and this maneuver completely disorganized the enemy’s retreat. second an unexpected decision for turak, at the most crucial moment, ushakov threw into battle a spontaneously formed tactical reserve of
2:11 pm
several frigates, which reached the minimum firing range. in the battle of kerch, the turks escaped the complete battle. defeat was only due to the ensuing darkness and advantage in speed, but most importantly, this victory not only prevented the turkish landing on the coast of crimea, where at that moment there were almost no russian troops, but put an end to the ottoman empire’s attempts to retake the peninsula. according to the behavior of the turks it was it is clear that while their fleet exists and sails freely on the sea. replenished the turkish fleet with ships of his vassals, algerians, tunisians, tripolians and
2:12 pm
albanians in order to inflict a decisive defeat on the russians. 18 battleships, 10 large and seven small frigates, as well as up to fifty small ships were pulled to cape kaliakria in modern bulgaria. the sevastopol squadron, marching in search of the enemy, under the command of ushakov, was half as large. 16 battleships, two frigates, two bombardiers and 19 small ships. july 31, 1791 years, russian ships spotted a huge fleet anchored under the cover of coastal batteries. the maneuver that ushakov used this time surprised not only the enemy, but also the captains of his own ships. he attacks the enemy at anchor; he was lined up in three columns. our fleet was on the march, leading them between the shore and the line of turkish ships anchored, and that he won, it would seem that the artillery fire
2:13 pm
of the coastal batteries should have stopped him, but the enemy was so stunned that the coastal batteries, as they say, did not have a proper fire impact on the enemy ships, plus the turks who were on the shore, where 2/3 of the teams were on the shore, they did not have time to simply return to their ships. passage close to the shore in an unfamiliar place, even measuring the depth with lots, was a risk, but this was precisely what promised victory, as ushakov suggested, the guns on the turkish ships were loaded only from the side facing the sea, where the enemy could come from. secondly, now the russian ships were on the windward side, which gave many advantages for maneuver. when fired. everything in front of your face is covered in smoke, and the smoke from your guns and from the enemy’s guns obscures your
2:14 pm
visibility of the enemy, you don’t see where you’re shooting, and ushakov understood this perfectly well, again this is a rapid approach for shakov, yes, the combination of the tactical stage of a detailed rapprochement with the enemy led to the fact that they again did not have time to form up, panic began in the enemy fleet, the sailor... they cut the anchor ropes and raising the sails in a strong wind, the ships collided with each other and broke the spars. the fierce battle, which lasted just over three hours, ended with the onset of darkness. the turkish fleet was defeated and destroyed. ushakov's squadron had no losses in ships. the price of victory was only 17 people killed and 27 wounded. the fleeing enemy ships continued to sink after the battle. only a battered algerian squadron reached basphora, and the turkish flagship began to sink in the middle of the night in sight of istanbul, demanding help
2:15 pm
cannon shots. residents of the capital were in panic, everyone was waiting for the ships to appear at shak pasha, as the turks called ushakov, at the entrance to the golden horn bay. the turks had 33 battleships before the war, but at the end of the war they had only four battleships, we had 10. that is, we seized supremacy at sea, that’s what we did.
2:17 pm
to get close to the asmans from the rear. what did the swedes expect? they expected to land troops here, having previously defeated the forces of the baltic fleet, to create a threat to our capital, this is not a figure of speech, that volleys, in fact, naval guns were heard here on the banks of the niva when the battle was going on under the leadership of greig samuil karlovich here with the swedish ships on the finnish gulf. during this first battle on july 6, 1788, near the island of gogland , the attack on st. petersburg was thwarted, but soon after this, the commander, admiral greig , died suddenly, but in the decisive battle of vybsk during the campaign there was a turning point and not in favor of russia.

it was not easy for catherine’s descendants on the russian throne to maintain the heights they had taken, to maintain russia’s status as a world maritime power, including in seas far from its shores. son of catherine ii. pavel managed not only to preserve, but to strengthen the russian fleet. however , the grandson of the empress alexander i, according to contemporaries, did not like the fleet, did not understand it, judged it, as he himself put it, like a blind man about colors. count varantsov, installed alexander to head a special committee for fleet reform, was a staunch opponent of the naval idea. for many reasons,

the operation together with the then allies, by the british. this bold plan had a chance of success, but the british did not want to let the russians near the black sea straits. a detachment of the british fleet under the command of commander duquart began the attack before sinyavin arrived. the british were defeated, and the turks immediately strengthened their coastal batteries that protected the entrance to the strait. now it has become much more difficult to complete this task and... duquart said that he will not cross the dardanelles again, he will no longer take risks from the cadres. sinyavin also did not take risks, he also did not break through dardanelles, decided to limit himself to blockade
2:24 pm
of the strait. the supply of bread to istanbul came from egypt at this time, by blocking it, we ensured famine in istanbul, and famine in istanbul meant a huge headache for any sultan. murders of sultans, janissary riots, riots of the city population, that is, it was a really successful way of putting pressure on turkey. however, in addition to the economic blockade, admiral sinyavin had another goal: to lure the turkish fleet from the strait to fight him. in the end he succeeded. this is dardanelles. shiny a battle where the turks were completely defeated, yes, this is the battle of athos, which was included in all christomaties, yes, where the turkish enemy fleet was defeated. another thing is that it was not possible to take full

2:27 pm
the end of the war will be handed over to russia intact. yes, this is a product in fact, the ushakov school, in some way it can be called. although he was such a stubborn product, as far as i know, and had such a willful character, but due to, as they say, his character, he was not as kind to the sovereign as, say, his predecessors, although evil tongues said that emperor alexander pavlovich did not like sinyavin because he was very similar to him, the sovereign himself considered himself a very handsome man, but he really has such a pretty face , and he generally considered himself handsome, here... “sinyavin, he distinguished himself there, you know,

of azov, mikhail petrovich lazarev, a participant in the discovery of antarctica, recruited his crew himself. in particular, three young officers, lieutenant nakhimov and mich, came to azov. kornilov and istomin, in the near future, the glory of the russian fleet. by early october 1827, the combined anglo-franco-russian squadron blocked the turkish-egyptian fleet of ibrahim pasha in novorinskaya bay off the southwestern coast of the pelopannes. by general decision, the command of the entire operation was entrusted to the senior english vice admiral codrinkton. the forces of the parties were distributed as follows. english squad - three battleships, four frigates, one corvette, four brig and tender. french iskra - three battleships, two frigates and two schooners. russian squadron, four lenkors and four frigates. in total, the allied fleet has 26 pennants and 1,298
2:35 pm
2:36 pm
there were 66, two officers and 57 sailors died in the russian iskra. after this battle, lazarev was promoted to rear admiral; for the first time in russian naval history, the battleship azov was awarded the highest military distinction. stern st. george flag, analogue of the st. george flag banner for ground units. the novarin victory resulted as expected. sharp deterioration of relations between russia and turkey. istanbul closed the straits to the passage of russian ships and began to impede russian trade on the territory of the ottoman empire. war between the two states became inevitable and was declared on april 14, 1828. the campaign
2:37 pm
developed slowly. for 2 years, the fleets of the warring parties never met in a decisive battle. in this war. on may 14 , 1829, a turkish squadron of 18 pennants, including six linear ships, almost at basphorus itself, she met with a russian patrol, consisting of the frigate standart and two brigs, orpheus and mercury. the russian ships turned to the side.
2:39 pm
the lantern and its light penetrated into the cruid chamber through the mica windows. one could only enter the creek chamber in short clothes; it was forbidden to enter it with shoes on, so that iron shoes on the shoes could not be created. spark, there was always a sentry at the indoor chamber, and he stood only with edged weapons,
2:40 pm
he did not have any firearms, so that god forbid, an accidental shot could not blow up the ship, and this sentry was supposed to make sure that no one entered the space close with fire with their wings, and now in the duel of the brig mercury with two turkish battleships, the team was ready to blow up its powder magazine, with skillful maneuvering using both... porusov was so cheerful, captain kazarsky did not allow the turks to take mercury in pincers, but after some time the turkish ships still managed to get around the brik on both sides and fired two full salvos at it. with a tenfold superiority in artillery, it was duel between david and galiath. resistance seemed pointless, but the mercury crew thought differently. mercury's gunners fired mainly at the spar and rigging. in it they managed to destroy several mainsail gear on the ship kapudan pasha. the flagship
2:41 pm
of kapudan pasha drifted and mercury concentrated fire on the second ship , the rear admiral real bay. after 4 hours of battle , two yards were destroyed on it. real beit also fell into the tree and left the battle. seemingly doomed, the russian ship was badly battered, but reached its base. on one's own. by decree of nicholas ii. brick mercury was awarded the highest award for a warship. stern st. george's flag. in his honor , the first monument dedicated to the ship’s feat was erected in sevastopol. the emperor also ordered that the black sea fleet always have a ship with that name. but
2:42 pm
england continued to prepare for war with russia, and did not want to share its dominance on the seas with anyone. in addition, by the middle of the 19th century, the time of the wooden sailing fleet was ending. gradually, little by little, industrialized countries began to acquire ships with pore engines and an entirely metal hull. and because. weak onboard guns. the situation changed in the late 1840s with the invention of screw
2:43 pm
steam engines. the gromoz mushroom wheels have disappeared. a small propeller hidden behind the stern of the ship propelled it forward more efficiently than two huge mushroom wheels. and immediately many sail-screw frigates and corvettes appeared in the european fleets, and soon the first multi-gun sail-screw battleships began to be built. towards a new one the country was late in the great war, which in europe would be called the eastern war, in russia, the crimean war. steam engines were just beginning to be introduced on...
2:44 pm
2:45 pm
what to do with the fleet, menshkov said indifferently: “and put it in your pocket.” in on the night of september 11, 1854, seven of the most outdated ships, of which five battleships and two frigates, were taken to designated places at the entrance to sevastopol bay, on the instructions of kornilov. the guns and crews removed from them were used to strengthen the defense of sevastopol on land. the barriers of ships sunk to the bottom due to storms had to be constantly strengthened, so that only at the entrance to akhtiar bay. 75 warships and 16 auxiliary ships, including schooners, were sunk in this exceptionally short period time, it was possible to create such defensive strongholds that restrained the enemy’s advance, and held it back so much that he stormed sevastopol for a year, this is generally a mystery, and
2:46 pm
2:47 pm
create a threat to st. petersburg and achieve the conclusion of a peace treaty on favorable terms for them, this did not happen, under the terms of the treaty signed in paris on march 18, 1856 , russia lost only the opportunity control the mouth of the danube, the most significant article was the prohibition to have a naval fleet in the black sea, not only russia, but all coastal powers, and such a result, this in general... a senseless war became possible largely thanks to the black sea sailors who fought to the last for integrity and honor of their state. the russian empire faced a new serious choice. as usual,
2:48 pm
geopolitics was at the heart of the conflict. at the end of the 19th century, japan was extremely active in wanting to expand its... however, the results were successful for japan the wars with china in 1895 were greatly curtailed by pressure from world powers. the japanese, having won the war with... china, received port arthur, went to an international conference, where they were deprived of this spoils, and russia leased port arthur. in addition, there were russian troops in manzhur; the japanese had fears that russia would continue its expansion, including into korea. japan prepared for a naval war methodically, purchasing battleships from england and actively training personnel. these are ships of approximately the same generation, built in the same at the same time, and although the tsarevich was built in france, and the mikasa was built in england, they served,
2:49 pm
respectively, in the russian imperial navy in the japanese imperial navy, these are just two schools, the french tsesarevich and the english mekas, at mekas these guns were used in cozimates. due to the difficulty of aiming, the difficulty of aiming, in battle it was also shown that the turrets very often jammed, the turret
2:50 pm
2:51 pm
2:52 pm
suddenly, without declaring war , attacked russian ships stationed on the outer roadstead of the port of arthur. the main forces of the japanese fleet under the command of vice admiral togo. had some advantage in numbers, in the quality of ships, but most importantly, fully used the factor of surprise. already in this first night attack, the japanese disabled three russian ships, and two of them, retvizan and tsesarevich, were the most powerful battleships in the squadron. a day earlier , 15 warships under the command of rear admiral uriu headed for the korean bay of chemu. with the task of capturing the force, chemulpo, an international port in which ships of different states were stationed, including a russian cruiser, a warrior and a
2:53 pm
korean gunboat. these two ships found themselves in a trap, the exit from which was blocked by 15 ships enemy. the japanese demanded that the russian sailors lower their flags and surrender to the mercy of the winner. this would mean saving the lives of the personnel, but covering everyone with shame. rudniev, with the consent of the officers of the entire crew of the ships, decided to fight his way to port arthur and, in case of failure, to sink the ships.
2:54 pm
there were no casualties on the korean, both ships returned to chemulpo, the crews disembarked on neutral ships, after which the korean was blown up, and the accident was scuttled by the opening of the kingstons. so as not to damage other ships in the port. very significant the russians did not inflict any damage on the japanese squadron, they sank their ships, but it is called what, what is the whole point of this, the point is one thing: the russians showed that they will not retreat, they will not surrender. the russian government's hope for a final turning point in the war was the second pacific squadron
2:55 pm
2:56 pm
seemed suicide to many. the squadron gets new task: to break through to vladivostok and from there continue to fight the japanese fleet for supremacy at sea. however, on may 14, 1905, in the susima strait, her path was blocked by a powerful fleet under the command of admiral togo. there are many opinions about why the russian fleet suffered a crushing defeat in the last naval battle of its history. russian ships. they could not move at the same speed, the column stretched, commander rozhdestvensky was exhausted and morally devastated. for many reasons and a tragic coincidence, the second the pacific squadron was unable to give a worthy rebuff to the japanese fleet. of the 38 russian ships that took part in the battle, 21 were killed and seven surrendered. only three ships broke through to vladivostok.
2:57 pm
the human one looks much more terrifying. losses. of the 16 thousand sailors who took part in the battle, more than 5,000 died. only 870 people reached vladivostok. according to toga's report , 116 people were killed on japanese ships and 538 were wounded. the japanese fleet lost two small destroyers. after the russo-japanese war, after death in the only general battle russian squadron of vice admiral rozhdestvensky. they called him dreadnought, which means fearless, or rather not even afraid of anything. at that time, this type of ship fully deserved its name, so much so that all battleships of its classes, which the sea powers began to build, began to be called dreadnoughts.
2:58 pm
but the russians went their own way here too, using german pore boilers and turbines, starting in 1913, they began to produce a heavily armed, fastest destroyer in the world, which soon also will be copied all over the world. vic became the prototype of a whole class of ships, well , for about 50 years, i think, before the advent of missile weapons, our country owned a significant part, it is a significant merit that it was created here in our country... battleships have become so expensive toys, that they were simply afraid to put them into action, so that they were afraid to lose them, and let’s say, russian tank ships in the baltic never even entered into a single combat engagement with their opponents during the first world
2:59 pm
3:00 pm
3:01 pm
3:03 pm
the german navy no longer tried to seize the initiative at sea; by the end of the fifteenth year , german trading companies began to refuse to send their ships to sweden. the most striking example of the fact that naval battles are no longer relevant, and simply mines can destroy an entire squadron, was the raid operation undertaken by the german fleet in november 1916. they took part in it. 11 newest high-speed destroyers, she had the goal of carrying out such a demonstrative, harassing action, i would say, well, maybe, if possible attack our patrol ships and shell
3:04 pm
hamburg, on the black sea, it would seem, the situation was exactly the opposite, we have strong battleships, the turkish fleet is generally insignificant, they didn’t even talk about the turkish fleet in general, they didn’t take it into account . but here the turks before the first world war were immediately very alarmed,
3:05 pm
because they saw that the empire was falling apart before their eyes. just before turkey entered the war , the german battlecruiser goeben and the light cruiser breslau passed through constantinople, which became the backbone of turkish fleet during the first world war. goeben had 10-28mm guns. this was more than two times more than on any russian battleship. minutes lasted, it was a clash in november of the fourteenth year, which was 14 of our battleships, we had 20, well , about thirty were killed at the station, including four officers, and the germans had about ten killed, but just if the battle had continued , goeben was sunk.
3:07 pm
upheavals of 1917, the russian fleet had to go through perhaps the most acute crisis in its history. during the great patriotic war there were no high-profile naval battles. the navy was engaged in what would soon be called day-to-day combat work. however, without it , enemy forces would not have been pinned down around our bases. enemy communications could not be undermined and our communications could be secured, including allied convoys and the transfer of large landing forces. and finally, soviet warships supported the ground forces of the red army every day of the war. and even this is not always remembered; ships of the azov flotilla, transported on a spree, took part in the capture of berlin. victory over nazi germany did not mean the establishment
3:08 pm
of peace and stability. almost immediately after the end of the fighting, yesterday’s allies entered into a new confrontation, only with the advent of atomic weapons the stakes became even higher. churchel's fulton speech, in which the cold war situation was first outlined, showed that the west now considered the soviet union its main enemy. capitalist west. and the socialist east teetered on the brink of war for several decades. the united states surrounded the territory of the soviet union with a dense network of military bases. at the height of the cold war, there were about 150 of them, created in 32 countries, from iceland to the philippines. to remain a maritime power, the ussr also needed an ocean-going fleet that would meet the requirements of the era of missiles and nuclear weapons. in the mid-fifties in... during the reign of khrushchev
3:09 pm
3:10 pm
the ussr was not going to yield to the pace of construction. throughout the cold war, strategic submarines of the northern fleet were constantly deployed. on combat duty in the northern western atlantic, the only way to achieve parity in flight time relative to missiles with nuclear warheads stationed in turkey and western european countries. soviet missile submarines performed two autonomous voyages per year, which was a heavy burden for both equipment and people. the emergence of intercontinental ballistic missiles with a flight range of up to 12 thousand.
3:11 pm
reached all the main targets on the territory of a potential enemy. in the era of brezhny, the soviet political leadership realized this fact that the fleet is needed not only for a nuclear missile strike at some hour x, but also in order to constantly influence political situation in different parts of the world. churcher cannot say, the fleet exists and much does not happen. and sometimes presence is enough.
3:12 pm
shoot there in front of the bow of some ship, you can fight with the sides in the end, you can board it, send some kind of capture group there, a submarine cannot do all this, and an aircraft cannot do all this, during the cold war , which, fortunately, did not lead to major clashes; there were not many significant operations of the soviet fleet, and at that time they were strictly classified, summer autumn... 1962 , the soviet navy takes part in the anadyr operation. it consists of the secret transfer to cuba of a significant contingent of soviet troops, as well as ballistic missiles with nuclear warheads. when the americans discover
3:13 pm
this, they set up a naval blockade of the island and send for secret escort of merchant ships carrying out transportation. attacks of a potential enemy can use any weapon for self-defense, including nuclear torpedoes, that’s where i say the merit and it is an indicator of the courage of the sailors and commanders there
3:14 pm
and the senior officers at the helm that even in those conditions they did not allow the trigger to be pulled. the most striking military campaign. otrin's teachings in 1986 were top secret for the time being. then an entire division of soviet atomohs quietly crossed the line. western atlantic anti-submarine line, which the americans considered impregnable, and we decided to test a whole series of new boats, in particular, the boats there used the latest projects 971 type bars, which showed their in fact, such stealth and low noise, which were able to successfully break through this line without being noticed by the enemy, all this had the effect of a bomb exploding, congress immediately began to ask for new funds. the russians are catching up with us, and this cannot be allowed. it seems that one of the nuclear-powered ships was not discovered by chance, it was
3:15 pm
a signal sent to the main enemy: do not consider yourself safe. by the mid -eighties, having gone through a difficult path, the soviet union occupied a worthy place among the maritime powers. i must say that here the construction of a transoceanic, as it was said then, nuclear missile fleet, this was, in general, a priority of gorshkov’s main policy. admiral of the fleet of the soviet union, who led the soviet navy for 30 years and ensured that the soviet fleet, from some third or fourth positions after the war , essentially came out somewhere in first, somewhere in second place after the american one. by the end of the 1980s, the ussr navy included 160 surface ships in the ocean and far sea zones. 83 strategies and

3:18 pm
the black sea fleet was in limbo for 5 long years, and it was a big disaster when crimea and sevastopol ended up abroad, muscovites had a lot of ways, then on january 4 i simply announced that the black sea fleet is russian, we are subordinate to the russian president. in 1997, the presidents of russia and ukraine agreed on the fate of the black sea fleet, it was divided in half, but since ukraine
3:19 pm
was not able to maintain so many ships, another 32% of the ship's personnel was purchased from it. however, for almost 20 years , the problem of the black sea fleet was the subject of constant bargaining and blackmail on the part of ukraine. this was the case until 2014. it is needed for peace, not for war, for promoting state policy in an era when war has not been declared, in the modern world the line between war and peace has been erased, the world is not becoming simpler, life is not becoming safer, in modern conditions , only force can be a guarantor of stability, and the navy is one of its most important
3:20 pm
components, so the russian leadership considers it... compared to land-based nuclear missiles, as well as strategic aviation, underwater passages are less vulnerable, so in this area the main burden lies on the northern and pacific fleets. only the navy is capable of effectively defending the islands. coast of the country's interior from attack from the sea, drive away foreign aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines and ships carrying cruise missiles away from our shores. finally, the fleet, which has a large reserve of autonomy, independent of airfield bases, is capable of effectively influencing the political situation in different regions of the planet, ensuring the so-called
3:21 pm
projection of force, in this sense... so to speak, they have tested new weapons, in fact, that is and submarines took part, they also launched missiles, here are small-missile ships, frigates, now we have sent a new one, admiral grigorovich, admiral esson, they also went through such a test run; in fact, not only the weapons and equipment were tested, the sailors who had not fought for many decades and only fired during exercises were now able

3:24 pm
the air and on land, we are troops of three sections we can attack from the ground, from the water from the air, the marines, they are the first to enter the battle , break into the enemy’s defenses, our heroes are sailors, the great patriotic war is crazy. “i serve the russian marine corps, thank you very much, invincible landing force, naval soldiers, black berets, there is one.”

3:26 pm
the naval soldiers of peter i received their baptism of fire during the years of the northern war, followed by the victory in the gangut chisme battles, the assault izmail-primorsky grenadier regiments and the siege of the impregnable fortress of corfu by admiral ushakov. and these are just the first pages of the glorious history of our marines. from the very beginning.
3:27 pm
the tense moment of the assault on a populated area in the pavlovka area, soldiers of the 155th marine brigade of the pacific fleet literally landed on the heads of the enemy. the clearing of enemy positions begins. observation. throwing a grenade, the fighters in a matter of minutes surround the house where the militants are hiding. sailors and guardsmen fight with dignity and
3:29 pm
on that day, the commander of the air assault battalion, sergei kuzmenchuk, received the task: to reach the northwestern part of the village of moshchon. we paved the way for the entire group. it is always difficult to go first, and even more difficult under the nose of the enemy to get as close to him as possible. the settlement was located on a hill; if you look from our side, there is a river in front of it. the river consisted of three channels 7-10 m wide. we can see it completely. the area is completely under fire, that is, it was almost impossible to approach unnoticed, all that remained was to go straight across the field, to overcome it.
3:30 pm
sergei kuzmenchuk led almost 200 people in pitch darkness, in icy water, under the constant sight of the enemy, the infantry was covered by our artillery, the river was simply icy, we had to ford it, considering that there were still three of them, the river was deep, well, taller than human height , we are fully immunized, armored steel, how many 20 there are , all yes...
3:31 pm
3:32 pm
when we approached the outer houses from left and right, there was no longer any shooting, it began to narrow like this, it seemed that there was no way out, i prepared myself for the fact that anything could happen, and there was no need to think about it, without... treasured fortitude and courage, not to abandon your own, to die, but not to leave your position. chief petty officer of the marine corps brigade of the pacific fleet anton rezanov then decided to stand to the end. when you are sitting in a tank and they shoot at you from a machine gun. it sounds like you're sitting in a car and it's raining. i was afraid not for myself, first of all, if i had not coped with the task, they would all have died. they
3:33 pm
had to liberate a settlement not far from pavlovka, there was only one road, through a minefield, i was driving first, it was necessary to pave the road through mine-explosive barriers, a strike group in infantry fighting vehicles and armored personnel carriers was following me, if i... returned, they would it wasn’t easy at all, so they drove along, took a hit from everywhere, the ukrainian armed forces militants hit them with targeted fire, one anti-tank guided missile flew in, but they were lucky that there was a trawl, it hit the trawl, i would have walked under the caterpillar and we would have taken off our shoes.
3:34 pm
the loading system jammed, the decision was made to move on, because there was a lot of infantry behind us, if i hadn’t gone, well, i think there would have been a lot of casualties among the infantry, because everything would have flown over them, and since i went first, everything was flying towards me, almost 2 km, the armored vehicle was walking through a minefield.

3:43 pm
vladivostok, vast expanses large port, as a boy sergei decided that he would definitely connect his life with the sea. he is strong, he always loved to protect, defended the weak, very often even weak children resorted to him. this is a martial art, a mixture of karate, judo, boxing, on the tatami there is full contact, eye to
3:44 pm
eye. now i started walking again, well , periodically there with, with such, with minimal loads, and as if the trainers, from that moment on, they had already instilled discipline and responsibility. often little sergei himself asked the coach to fight with his elders rivals. if you remember which one came, that is. as a very small child there, seven years old in 1996, he was always positive all the time with a smile, overcoming - the main philosophy of kudo, unconditional faith in oneself and one’s strengths, confidence in one’s decisions, responsibility, fearlessness, friends, team, but some kind of responsibility for a loved one - then, i don’t know, helping a loved one, i always worry about everyone. i can, i don’t know, not eat myself, yes, well, for example, give, there, well,
3:45 pm
with me, yes, it’s always like that, there’s a white city polonyany, goremuli, the far eastern higher combined arms and command school, lay next to the monument. marshal rakosovsky, the names of graduates who were awarded the title of hero of the soviet union, for their exploits during the great patriotic war for afghanistan, are stamped next to the names of heroes of russia. recently another name appeared here: kuzmenchuk sergey vadimovich, he was my support, my right hand, all my orders, instructions, everything was carried out, that i was always calm, that no tasks would be overwhelmed, everything would be completed exactly on time. at the school, sergei organized a kudo section, where he trained his comrades and junior students, the school,

3:49 pm
to say, he kept saying, i’m a soldier, after school it didn’t work out to enroll in a military school, although i dreamed that he would be a military man, well, somehow fate decreed that after serving his military service, he stayed on contracts , but still the fate of a military man overtook him. i was brought up in a single-parent family, there was no father, my mother really loved watching films about the second world war, perhaps it had some influence, people, without sparing themselves, try to make the world
3:50 pm
3:51 pm
did not try to be a tanker, signed up for the position of tank commander. nowadays there is a tank battalion in almost every naval marine brigade. heavy equipment allows marines to quickly suppress enemy firing points. there seemed to be no problems, when i had already received the second order of courage, i had to admit that elena vasilievna cried for a long time when anton told her everything, but she was happy for her son,
3:52 pm
sincerely glad for his awards, the battles near pavlovka were very difficult when he received the first order of courage, he ended up in the hospital, right on his birthday, like a son, of course, i know him, that’s what he’s like, let’s say? a male soldier, for me it was a discovery, let’s just say, he kind of hides, of course, this is all, but we have quite a warm relationship, it’s hard to say, the chief sergeant.
3:53 pm
but the driven crew very quickly realized that we couldn’t cope on our own, so he also pushed us from acceleration, we pushed this infantry fighting vehicle onto mines into two tanks, onto theirs, it exploded in front of us, we were dizzy and sick. well then no less, the task must be completed, mostly about the house, i was thinking about how my mother would scold me if she found out that i was a tanker after all, well, with the remnants of the infantry fighting vehicle we cleared the way
3:54 pm
through the mine-explosive barrier, only to go back, i remembered the phrase of the compat : while the tank is moving, go ahead, you decided to push further, because you immediately thought, if we don’t push today, we’ll go tomorrow to push, but while everything is going so smoothly, it’s better to do it right away, instead of 1.5 km of position, we pushed 2 and a half, that is, they went even deeper, they shot from all over the tank's armor from above. six kilograms of bullets from a kalashnikov assault rifle, from machine guns, i have a driver mechanic, he swept them away with a broom. already, when we returned to our own,
3:55 pm
we saw that in pursuit of the tower we could see an unexploded shell that had arrived from an enemy infantry fighting vehicle. there was a very powerful rush of adrenaline, i couldn’t even formulate what i wanted to say, the battalion commander came up and said: “well done.” we coped with the task more than perfectly, thanks to the courage of our marines, the assault on the populated area began for several days earlier than planned, it might not have even started if the road had not been paved right away, if the enemy had managed to transfer forces, i don’t know, it would have been worse for me if i had returned, and not my crew, a failure. he has a different attitude towards life, i think he has reconsidered a lot, but i think that he has begun to appreciate life more. the battle in the vicinity
3:56 pm
