also wow, how did you get here, yeah, yeah, and are you the only child in the family? no, i have an older brother, but he also seems to me to worry enough about all sorts of issues in life, even more than me, probably, a problem with self-identification, decision-making, and the difficulty of taking responsibility for yourself, that is, it has always been like this, well, as far as i can remember, i think, yes, and you feel like a little child in an adult in the adult world of adult aunts and uncles. well, i would not want to completely agree with this formulation, but i have periodically thoughts that it seems like all my, well, not all, but most of my acquaintances or friends, they somehow live life, they start doing something, they either come up with some projects themselves, or they go to study somewhere interesting and so on, and i seem to be somewhere overboard, i would like to feel more independent of course, to feel more support in myself in this adult world, so what is stopping me, well, these all sorts of... doubts, yeah, fears,

i really, it seems to me, am afraid a lot, i am afraid failures, that is, in your opinion, the world is a danger, or adult life, the lack of basic trust in the world, well, that's more like this formulation, yes, about basic trust, i'm not saying that the world is a danger, the world, it has a lot, a lot of good, and you see it, yes, and what good do you see, in your personal life, i mean now not relationships with people, but in general your private life, relationships. maybe such a job is needed, in which nastya will communicate with people, for example, some helping professions, social or being an organizer something, he organizes holidays, for example, there is a lot of responsibility in this in everything, its complexity, and responsibility, our heroine does not want responsibility, yes, because here this responsibility causes a lot of tension, and accordingly procrastination, or i will do it very well i must have a guarantee that i will cope, or better. what do young

people have with fears that prevent them from taking responsibility and enjoying it? well, here there may be an option of either overprotection on the part of parents then, when overprotection leads to learned helplessness of the child, i will do it for you better than you, or you will not cope here, i will wash the dishes now.

who are not yet 18 years of higher education, they are already coding there earning as much as their family earns in a year, and hence the next paradox, that this easy money, yes, which other representatives of this generation go for, seeing how their peers easily earn this money, get pleasure from it, show a beautiful picture, why am i not so i can, yes, i heard that you have, as you said, an anxious mother, well, in my opinion,

yes, yeah, how do you... relate to this, sometimes it can irritate you, make you angry, or you treat it with understanding, at that moment you want to feel sorry for your mother, i want to explore what position and what roles you are in with your mother, well, yes, thank you for throwing me some options, i think that or rather in some moments it irritates me, because i understand that it limits me, and if now i still, well, i'm 23, i 've separated myself to some extent, yes, but when i was younger,

i can talk about what i don't like, and i think that it somehow resonates with her, i understand that on the one hand i can do what i want, on the other hand, again, that i'm afraid.

parents don't address their child from above, just sit down on a friend's table and ask: how are you, my dear, yeah, how can i be useful to you, and some of my positive or negative experiences with reinforcement of the fact that we will cope with this together, i through this also happened, and if you need my hand, then i'm here, and if not, then i believe in you, developed natural data allowed wolf messing... to become a phenomenon, whose name is known to the whole country. people were breaking into these performances, a unique opportunity to see what was inexplicable. mak is encrypted as an artist. in the company he was very modest, he could sit and

not talk the whole evening. the book of obolfe grigorievich written with his participation from his words, the only documentary evidence of his life. the following year, when also blooms lilac, the war will end. messing conducted a series of experiments in the presence of professors from vilnius university, who confirmed that there was no deception in the experiments. remember, bulgakov, we demand the exposure of black makeup. he said, i am not a blood feuder, a guinea pig, no need to examine me. he himself did not know who he was. create legends about yourself. the gods started with this. on the 125th anniversary of wolf messing's birthday, on saturday, on the first. this is a psyche podcast, and today we are looking for a professional path for our heroine, anastasia. nastya, university, how did you choose? i, to be honest, i felt very tired at school, so, you know, this pressure on

eleventh-graders, moral, that you need to pass the unified state exam, if you don’t pass the unified state exam, then that’s it, things won’t go well, now i understand what it is. it’s not so obvious that it’s complete nonsense, but still this pressure is felt, i just wanted everyone to leave me alone, who i wanted to be, i didn’t know, well, that is, well, i wanted to go to some kind of maybe something creative, but they told me it’s not a profession, so to somehow defend my point of view, i had neither the strength nor the confidence that it was worth it, yeah, i just went where i went, i wanted to get a budget, i got a budget, overall it was nice, i think more that my parents...

i went consciously, yes, they wanted to be engineers, they wanted to be doctors, they wanted to be military, so they graduate from the institute, they get a diploma and understand that the way they imagined the profession is not at all like that in life, one of the acute normative crises sets in, this is normal, that's when nastya needed to go to such a psychologist, is it too late now, and if anastasia is coming now, to such a specialist, what questions will she have to answer for herself? it is never too late to make a choice in favor of yourself, always listen to your feelings, to your mind, to your feelings, to the sensations in your

body, what am i feeling now, how good do i feel in my body with this thought, where is it located, or do i feel that the jitters, the yeast, the heart stops, the breathing is restored at the thought of only one profession, ask your mind, and what am i i think about this, turn on logic, as you like to do, ask your soul, and what am i therefore? i feel about it, i experience joy or i experience fear, and this is our royal advice, this is the mind, soul and body that will help you in any life situation. ask yourself, what do i get the most pleasure from and what can i do for free? and the approach, by the way, you understand, is also such a dual one, because what if many people say: and let's say, i want to lie on the ceiling for free, spit on the ceiling and scroll through short videos, well ... then you need to go with another request to a psychologist if a person cannot get out, because this, by the way, is the same addiction as

addiction, for example, to sweets and various chemicals or to alcohol. it seems to me that renata, in fact, offered you a very correct formula, although it may look so tragic, but it seems to me that it is absolutely practical, really, to sit down and make a list of those activities that you were ready to take on, well, maybe not forever for free, for example, a 3- month internship, well, you know, there are these vacancies, when they are looking for a caretaker on some beautiful exotic island, where you need to live for six months, just watching some rare birds, keeping some simple observation diary, why not, there are some difficulties, that for example, not every job will do again without education and not every job can be done immediately for an internship, that is, you need to, for example, go somewhere to study and ...

what do you have that we definitely need to know about, and at the same time you can monetize it, that's the problem, you see, i would really like to show myself somehow, to be useful in some way, but i can't figure out yet what, that is. i want to somehow express myself, but it's not clear what to talk about, what did you dream about as a child? and it seems to me that

i dreamed of being a singer or something like that, well, i didn't dream, but you know, when children in kindergarten draw their future profession there, is that close to you now? and i think no, rather i wanted to, i just thought about it later somehow, interpreted it, that i am so cool in the center of attention, everyone is on me they look and think, she's super, that's what's important, this approval was approval. yes, like this universal love, listen, nastya, if you were, for example, a nurse, all the relatives would say how lucky we are, there is a nurse anastasia, who just takes one look at a patient and immediately feels better, she gives such injections that it doesn't hurt at all , you immediately feel better, well, for example, well, as if what you said only partially resonates with me now, plus i was thinking about all sorts of medical professions - they seem interesting and useful to me and all that, but again, what stops me

is that medicine - a person should really be passionate about this business, because this really takes up a large part of life, you missed it, you would be, for example, a great assistant to a manager for a short period, you are so thoughtful, yes, that is, to build his schedule, to make sure that meetings are on time, that... the car arrives, so that the meeting is organized, i think it's useful for experience, for some kind of personal development, but at the same time it's still, you know, you want to create something, bring something into this world, okay, but what's stopping you from creating something now, what you could create, here's the misunderstanding, what can you do with your hands, well, draw, maybe also wash dishes, well, i don't know, a strange question, listen, you know, i can grow roses, that's true, i can grow roses, i understand that if

i have nothing to do, i'll be at the dacha develop your razari further, i don’t know why, and if you show it, then i will be happy to learn from you, i will even sell you these roses, you know, when i have more time, i will sell roses, well, of course, i’m practically joking now, but not really joking, if you like to draw, then you can create your own page on any social network to show how you do it. and if you do it with enthusiasm, you can involve children in this, for example, yes , some good option, and you can teach drawing as a tutor to some children, well, to be honest, i haven't... done drawing for a long time, it's more like a hobby that i had in my teens, okay, what can you teach children? oh, for now i'm afraid that nothing, in my understanding, that it is necessary to first master the skill of how to deal with children, you understand that it is very responsible, in fact, that is , even yes, but yes, as we know selectively, yes, but great, you know, such a strategy that, don't

touch me, please, let it somehow it will fly in from somewhere, well, it won't fly in from nowhere, i understand. that you need to move on your own somehow, then maybe it will fly in. renata, what do you really think is stopping nastasia from taking responsibility for herself today? because right now it really looks like this: nastya is sitting there, a teenager, twenty-three years old, yes, and we, two grown-up women, have gotten to nastya, trying to persuade her as a vice-mom, she's apparently like, you know, a mom on call, to do something, please, what, nastya, a future person. smart, with good speech, very successfully parries and does not allow us to build a strategy for nastya, and no one, apparently, can build this strategy, what prevents nastya from becoming an adult right now, fear of mistakes, infantilism, that is, fear of mistakes does not allow her not to have new

skills, yes, she is right, yes, in order to do something, you need to get some skills, but renata tells you that in order to ... get skills, you need to start doing something, and here our heroine gets a circle, it is enough to get out of this vicious circle and just try without any expectations, do one step, when we want to eat an elephant metaphorically we need to divide it into several parts, and what if we write out our plan step by step, where - not so globally and it will be scary to follow it, and i know what gets in the way, any plan ... presupposes the idea of ​​some kind of end point, here nastya does not have an end point, you understand what is another point, what i really try to try, i had one job there, a second job, a third job and with each new job i have less and less faith in the fact that work exists in principle, which will suit me, faith in your own strength,

because then you need to successfully, successfully marry, give birth to children, that is. this rich husband who will suit you in all respects, will coincide with your certain speculative matrix, you need to solve such a problem, yes, that is, how to live on something, yes, that is, how to provide for yourself, but at the same time preserve this joy of life, am i right in understanding, yes, these three jobs of yours, they allowed, for example, to leave at least some piece? of time for some distance courses, well, perhaps, perhaps, yes, yes, yes, i think that you can find some option to adapt from distance learning, i want to believe in it, then you will have a motive to complete some new courses, get new skills, and not a very favorite job is the resource that you tolerate, well, life is like that, it

is not from the world of pink ponies, this is a podcast of psychos. and today we are looking for a professional path for our heroine anastasia, there was such an outstanding scientist, ours, russian, soviet, genrikh saulovich alshuler, this is the person who created the theory solving inventive problems, that's what 's amazing, being a person of absolutely engineering thinking, he had such a philosophical concept. so, he had an absolutely amazing concept of obtaining a result. he said something like this: in order to achieve something, you need to imagine an ideal result. in order to solve a complex engineering problem, at the junction of higher mathematics and physics, you need to start by imagining an ideal

result. and when you imagine some ideal result, then and the road. that is, if there is no point that we can hammer into the navigator of our life, then we can imagine the place where you will be happy, let's try to imagine that ideal result, here is the image of your life, in which there is work, there is pleasure, there is joy, where it definitely makes sense to crawl, even maybe through the stages of unloved work, let's say you are 35 years old, you work somewhere. what brings you great joy and probably money, how much money does work bring you when you are 35 years old, no, well wait, if we say that there is no harm in dreaming, then i can give some figures, but i would think that... that it would be nice to be engaged in some kind of business by the age of 35, so good, you are engaged in business, what is your net income approximately, per

month or per year, how difficult is it to think in numbers, well, i don’t know, well, 1,400, 4,000 per month is your income, well, i don’t know, good businessmen, it seems to me, can appeal to such amounts, well, how many hours a day do you work, well , i would like 5-6 hours, but i’m not sure. it only seems to me that people who are engaged in their business, they work around the clock, yeah, most likely, you and i assume that this is the job that you like, you enjoy it even when you have to work more than 10 hours a day, i don’t know, it seems to me that it’s hard to enjoy working more than 10 hours a day, well, maybe not always, you don’t always work 10 hours a day, there are periods when you have some kind of reports or you launch a new project, well, maybe, how do you relax? when you’re 35 years old and you own a business, yes, i i think, like ordinary people, well, that is , firstly, eight hours of sleep, good nutrition, sports, dancing, walking,

meeting with friends, traveling, reading, there are many, many activities, some other development, i think that it is useful to somehow improve your qualifications in parallel, what useful things does your business bring to society, i don’t know, maybe i won’t do business at all, maybe i want to become some kind of media person, give people inspiration, for example, in order to inspire people, you need to be inspired yourself, to be filled, to give something, therefore your ultimate goal, i completely agree with you here that it should be visible and so on, as for a smart goal, this goal should light you up, your eyes should burn from this goal, try to dream as much as possible, allow yourself everything. in order to prove

something to someone to someone, to your ex or maybe to your mom and dad and so on, maybe admit to yourself your real true goal then it will light you up and this will be your fuel to go forward and don't give up, yeah. nastya, let's try with you and renata, the three of us, in a brainstorming mode, to understand what needs to be done right now today, what steps need to be taken in order to be this successful by the age of 35 - the owner of something, some small or large business of your own, which brings pleasure in itself, but at the same time leaves you with time for life, for development, for communicating with friends, and first of all, obviously, i need to choose. a niche or area in which i i want to develop, or maybe several, so that later i can somehow combine them, and then get an education, and accordingly work for hire, to understand how it all

works from the inside, yeah, and at the same time i will also work through some of my fears that i won’t succeed in a successful scenario, we leave a job we don’t really like, if it brings you the money today that allows you to live and study, yes , we leave the job, but at the same time you can think about... some other job, it will work out i 'm not sure yet whether i can implement it, of course, but we'll see. okay, here's renata's idea, to think about what you could do for free, she hasn't found any obvious answer yet. well, you see , for free, again, i can't single out any one activity, that is, there are things that i like, yes, for example, there are many jobs that are tied to communication with people, i like communication with people, i like it. it's impossible to combine all this, but at the same time there are many professions, it seems to me, that on plus-minus junction, here you need

to think a little deeper, maybe you can write out for yourself at least a list of such professions, oh i thought, i wrote out, i did this, and so you came up with what you are interested in, what are we doing with you, well, in general , in a good way, you need to slowly tread the path to that what does this mean to do? well , somehow somehow study this question, how to study this question? i have many friends who have an amazing skill of independently studying on the internet, i can't do that, and what what prevents you from studying independently on the internet? lack of the proper level of discipline, perhaps i am not motivated enough, because the educational process, the work process, in many ways for me is also tied to communication, when i sit alone and well, browse the internet ... then well, i am not so motivated, i can be distracted, and some business will be found, to go see someone, to meet with someone there, which

will be a priority at the moment, because ... when this box of your like-minded people supports you and does not allow you to deviate, disciplines, well, you can't come to work at 11:30, where everyone, the rest of the team is already in place by ten, and you have now self-diagnosed yourself quite, it seems to me, successfully, yes, that is, anastasia said, yes, i can't study on the internet, i need external control, you can find... such

a company, such a team that will meet your certain ideas about joy, but will at the same time keep you, well, i don't know, go to study in a correspondence master's program and become a group leader, for example, yes, become a group leader i don't like the prospects, i don't see any interest in taking on additional responsibility, but i'm honest with myself. well, but to go somewhere, i 'm thinking, i'm thinking about it, but i'm trying, you know, to weigh everything up, so far , i'm weighing it up, and when i finally get it, here's an idea for you, if you do a small survey among your friends, the first question will be, why do you love me, value me and respect me, the second question, what do i do best, the third question, as what kind of specialist could you recommend me, here you compare these answers, isolate yes and...

do as i hear, no, i would like to do this, the idea is interesting, nastya, but it seems to me that you need to try, yes, including being prepared, as i see it, for the fact that you will hear, maybe not the opinion from your loved ones that you are counting on, not the advice that you would like to rely on, sometimes it is useful for us to go through this shock, of how we perceive ourselves, this is what i am, yes, from the point of view of i

perception, i position and how i shine in this world, because behind this shock there may be a path to self-knowledge, i see on the one hand that you do not want to take responsibility, i quote you, yes, but on the other hand i see you and quite strong and quite healthy ambitions, all that remains is to get to the bottom of what your resource is, what your skills are, what your talents are, i am sure they exist, and there is knowledge, there is strength, there is energy, how to find it? the question is not simple, maybe you need to go to vocational education specialists, maybe you need to do something like this meticulous study of the world around us, it is absolutely certain that there are a lot of professions, a lot of work, a lot of opportunities to study remotely, and also, thank god, there is a reserve of time, which of course is melting away, this is what i sincerely wish you and ...

to manage, and what we do not realize, then thank you, what we realize, we can manage us, i sincerely would like to wish you, to realize now our dialogue, our conversation, to take what is close to you. thank you. this was a psyche podcast and we were looking for a path to professional and life realization for our very young heroine anastasia together with psychologist rinata bakhteeva. if you want to tell us your story, fill out the form on the website 1tv.ru.

well, each russian city, naturally , has its own history, but sevastopol, of course, is... a special case, because its roots go back to antiquity, byzantium, very deep, then two heroic defenses of sevastopol, in the crimean war, then in the great patriotic war, and far from a simple soviet history, post-soviet history, because well, i i remember 2007, and this happened even before, and when crimea returned to russia, alexander gorodnitsky sang his song on one of the squares: sevastopol will return back, sevastopol will remain russian and i don’t remember such an emotional reaction from the audience, of course, in general, so much blood

has already been shed by the russians for this city that it is simply impossible to tear it away from russia, in my opinion. today we will talk about the first defense of sevastopol in the crimean. with the crimean war. hello, this is a historical podcast russia-west on the swings of history, with you romanov and sergei solovyov, we are talking today about the defense of sevastopol in the crimean war. the crimean war is a continuation, in fact, of a whole series of previous clashes between russia and western europe, due to the fact that in connection with the so-called eastern question, in fact, the issue was

that at that time the ottoman empire was in a deep crisis, it was beginning to disintegrate, for this legacy, in those european territories in the mediterranean, which... gradually departed from the ottoman empires, it was on this field and on this problem, so to speak, that discussions and disputes took place, and there was a struggle in this region, russia defended its national interests, this is true, but at the same time, russian society and emperor nicholas ii, they fought in many ways for the orthodox, so to speak, faith for christians in general, because, well, in particular, for example, russia fought for the independence of greece, for the granting of independence to the greeks, who were massacred by the turks, and for the right

of armenian christians to return, so to speak, from ottoman empire to the east and armenia, but at the same time, of course, i have already said, russia stood up for its interests. these southern borders of russia, they were poorly protected, so this passage through the straits was very important in principle, the protection of this caucasian coast, as for the west, it also formally made many

statements about protecting the unfortunate greeks and serbs there, but at the same time it was, of course, a game in many ways, because the most important thing was also... there were also calculations for various bonuses after the collapse of the ottoman empire, and the main thing for them was to prevent any influence and dominance of russia in this region, so they supported the turks. in general , the formal reasons for the outbreak of the war were, as is known, a dispute over the ownership of holy places in palestine, which turkey handed over to the catholics, and russia claimed the patronage of the orthodox christians living in the territory. turkey and the possession, so to speak, partial control, but these holy places for christianity in jerusalem, especially since most of the christian population of turkey, the overwhelming majority were orthodox christians. but this was a formal pretext.

in general, russia's course was then towards the collapse of the ottoman empire, while the british, on the contrary , sought to preserve the ottoman empire, but under their control, yes, well, of course, there too , picking up the falling fragments, but nevertheless, to preserve it as a counterweight to the russian empire. russia, oddly enough, in 1832-thirty defended the ottoman empire, the unkerod lessian treaty, very advantageous for russia, was concluded. treaty, a difficult to pronounce name, because it took place in the town of unkiar lessi, on the coast, where the russian fleet approached and thereby blocked the egyptian troops' path to istanbul, it was clear that the egyptian troops were much better armed, where accordingly pro-european reforms were carried out, the ottoman army, backward, of course, by that time would have been defeated, but in 1841,

after the unkiar-lessi treaty expired, and the egyptian ruler again tried to defeat the ottoman the troops were again forced to retreat under pressure, this time from all the great powers, the convention was revised, the so-called london convention on the straits was concluded, which decided to give russia the right to block the entry of warships of other countries into the black sea,

to put on one side of the scale the victims that every war inevitably brings, on the other side, so to speak, on the other side of the scale, the scales, which, well, after all, they did not hand over to idolaters, they also handed over to christians, just catholics, but for it was unbearable for russia at that time, the preliminary diplomatic stage, all parties went through it in such an accelerated manner, after the keys were given, at the instigation of... the french, that is, to the catholics, nicholas

introduced russian troops into moldova and wallachia, as noted, as a pledge, until turkey satisfies fair demands, then in response to this introduction of troops into moldova and wallachia, england, france, austria and prussia convened such a special conference, here with a note of protest.

to the united fleet and the naval landing force peter and paul defended heroically and even english banners were thrown at the feet of nicholas i, but it is clear that the main events unfolded in the crimea, i think it is necessary to immediately say here in what state russia at that time entered this war, because against this background, in my opinion, it is much brighter. this heroism that the russians showed in

sevastopol, well, if we proceed from the financial costs of military needs, then we get the number, the growth of the armed forces, it turns out that nicholas i worked in general by the sweat of his brow, because from 1825 to 1854 the number of the army and navy increased by almost 40%. and the annual expenses.

prohovye rockets, yes, prohovye rockets, yes, the russian infantry at that time was armed mainly with smoothbore weapons, and the enemy, the french, the british already had stutzers, that is, this is already a rifled weapon, which, which has a different firing range , increased, different accuracy, that the accuracy itself is different, yes, well, so - if 1/3 of their infantry was already armed with rifled weapons in france, the british had almost half, then the russians had 1/23, can you imagine the difference, yes, and meanwhile this difference in infantry armament affected the combat operations of the artillery, because the russian troops, the russian

artillery, while it was approaching the distance, here is an effective shot. it lost up to half of the personnel and uh cavalry, which horses, which then transported the guns, so they were not so effective, well, not to mention the guns, because of course after the war with napoleon, much was improved, and nevertheless the lag was serious, the same the same was true for the black sea fleet, because such brilliant admirals as...

here, of course, the point was that serfdom continued to reign in russia, there were no free hired workers, serfdom and a conscript army, that is, it is important to understand that in the same french army there is no longer stick discipline, in russia there is stick discipline, the spitzrutons are famous for being one of the symbols of nikolaev's rule, it must be remembered that these are such two-meter flexible sticks, yes, with which soldiers were beaten, driving them through the ranks, when on both sides, respectively, they struck at the soldiers... and although formally in russia the death penalty was abolished, then when soldiers were assigned several thousand blows with gauntlets, it is clear that this led to the death of a soldier, in russia the development of communication routes was very far behind, the railway at that time was moscow, vilno, yes, and moscow-petersburg, actually under nicholas,

there are no normal roads to the south, respectively england and france supplied their troops in crimea by sea faster and more effectively than by land, russia. an amazing situation, yes, therefore the supply problem was one of the most painful problems during the crimean war, during the defense of sevastopol directly, because there they used foreign cannonballs, since they did not have enough of their own, they used foreign cannonballs to shoot at the enemy, regardless of their caliber, which also led to a decrease in the effectiveness of shooting, in general , this influence of serfdom on the development of russia at that time was reflected in the most catastrophic way in military operations , in all these things, including in in terms of bureaucracy. an episode is known, a specific episode at once, during the battle of inkerman, one of the battles that was supposed to unblock the besieged sevastopol and what failed, it turned out that the russian army did not have a map of the conduct of military operations, one of the generals said that he knew the area well, in the end it turned out that where there should have been mountains, there

are lowlands, where there are lowlands, on the contrary, there are hills, and the map was sent a day after the battle, the battle was lost by the russian army, so it is obvious. you do not like what i'm about to say. radoslaw sekorski is a polish russophist with a british passport. the interests of the united states and yours do not coincide. the poles really want ukraine to lose this conflict. when else will poland have a historic chance to privatize what was once greater poland was part of the polish-lithuanian commonwealth. and what do you think of nord stream 2. whoever did it did a good job. this is a sincere smile.

caste of russia the west on the swings of history, today our topic is the heroic defense of sevastopol. a as for the army supply, it was a really big problem, by the way, it is curious that the negative role here was played by the famous archaeologist who excavated troy, heinrich schliemann, because the german achieved that such an exclusive, very large contract for supply was concluded with him.

and these selfless women who arrived with him in sevastopol saved a huge number of lives, that is, this was the beginning of military surgery, the beginning of military

journalism, indeed, which had a serious impact not only on the minds readers, but on politics on politics, including the military leadership of great britain, to a lesser extent france, first of all great britain, of course, in france napoleon ii, then freedom of speech, to put it mildly, did not encourage much. in addition, the british and french tried to storm sevastopol. wash away previous grievances there and so on, in the end everything ended in defeat and very high losses, so you are absolutely right that both the command and the training of the rank and file limped here and there. sevastopol was quite decently fortified from the sea, and... as for the land, he was practically defenseless.
