This property has been known since the 18th century. as the "Metochion of the Chudov Monastery", and during the 19th and early 20th centuries. - as a possession of the Filaret Diocesan Women's School. After 1917, it housed the Moscow Polytechnic. Around the 1940s the property belonged to the Ministry of Defense of the USSR.

The initial period of formation and development of ownership is covered in two documents of the first half of the 18th century. - These are the Census Books of the Moscow Courts of 1739–1745. and the census book of the property and servants of the Chudov Monastery of 1701. The first of them indicates that the property passed to the Chudov Monastery by a bill of sale in 1684 from the Duma nobleman S.I. Zaborovsky. Subsequently, the name of the seller was assigned to the farmstead, which was repeatedly referred to as "Zoborovsky" in the documents.
At the turn of the XVII-XVIII centuries. the property was already large in size and occupied the entire width of the quarter, stretching between the passing lanes that branched off from Myasnitskaya to Pokrovka and to the Church of Kharitonius in Ogorodniki. In the documents cited, the sizes of ownership vary. This suggests that the intra-quarter boundaries were still unstable, the planning framework was in the process of formation, complicated by the division of the territory into “white” and suburban garden lands.
An idea of ​​the development of the property in this period is given by the inventory of the Chudovsky Compound, compiled in 1701. This is a country-type estate, divided into two zones - a small courtyard along Kharitonevsky lane. and a garden covering a large area. The nature of the buildings existing in the courtyard is determined by the fact that the monastery's "servants and servants in their own building" live here. It is all wooden, one-story and consists of two huts with a vestibule and closets, a dilapidated sennitsa, a stable and a stone cellar.

After 1758, the construction of the monastery courtyard was completely renovated. Its detailed description is contained in the inventory of 1763–1765. It follows from it that the former country yard with a pronounced economic function was transformed into a real monastery courtyard with a temple, a bishop's house and monastic cells. The entire building was wooden and located quite tightly in the yard. The central place was occupied by the single-domed church of St. Apostle Timothy and Anathema miracle worker Tikhon with a refectory. Bishop's chambers were one-story with a light room and a gallery on pillars. The rest of the buildings - cells, human quarters, utility buildings - were all one-story and located arbitrarily. Four alleys were arranged in the garden, in each of them there was a gazebo. A wooden greenhouse was also built here. It can be seen from the description that the new three-dimensional composition of the property is based on the principles of classicism.

At the turn of the XVIII-XIX centuries. the space-planning structure of the ownership acquired compositional clarity and special conciseness, characteristic of classicism. The changes that have taken place are reflected in the master plan of 1806. Yard on Kharitonevsky per. occupies the entire width of the property. Its development is subject to the central-axial planning principle. compositional
the core was a new wooden church building in the name of St. apostles Peter and Paul. In front of it, along the red line of the alley, there are two pairs of stone one-story buildings flanking the entrance to the front yard. The property is shown within the established historical boundaries.

During the Moscow fire of 1812, the building of the courtyard survived. Only one of the stone outbuildings along the alley was damaged by fire. In 1813 it was renovated.

During the first half of the XIX century. no construction work was carried out on the territory of the Chudovsky Compound. The building, which had been formed even before the war, was preserved, practically unchanged. Judging by archival documents, it had an empire-style appearance, typical for state-owned architecture of the post-fire period.

The next construction period is associated with the activities of the Moscow Guardianship of the poor of the clergy, to which the former farmstead passed by 1861. The property was immediately rebuilt. In 1861–1864 on the site of the demolished church, a stone two-story building with a basement was built - the main building of the Diocesan Women's School (Bolshoi Kozlovsky lane, 6, building 1). According to the reference publication "Architects of Moscow" (1998), the author of the architectural project, presumably, is the architect Alexander Osipovich Vivien.
The building contained a new church in the name of St. Philaret the Merciful, classrooms and housing for students and teachers. In 1862–1864 instead of dismantled stone buildings, smaller two-story stone outbuildings were built along the alley (Maly Kharitonevsky lane, 5, building 1, 2). A metal fence in stone pillars was placed between them, finally linking all the elements of the front yard into an architectural ensemble.

In the second half of the XIX century. only small-scale developments along the side borders are being carried out on the property, which is gradually reducing the area of ​​​​the garden. These are utility buildings, wooden in stone pillars, mixed one-two-story residential outbuildings. One of them, built as a hospital building, is now preserved in a rebuilt form (Maly Kharitonevsky per., 5, building 5). Over time, the stone two-story buildings along Maly Kharitonevsky lane, 5, buildings 1, 2 were also expanded with extensions.
A significant event of this period was the superstructure of the main building of the school with a third stone floor. The project, drawn up by the architect M. Piotrovich, was implemented in 1878. During the construction, the original five-part composition of the main facade and the eclectic decor were preserved and found their further development in the architectural solution of the superstructured floor.

Early 20th century did not bring significant changes to the existing space-planning structure. The main elements of the building were preserved, from time to time expanding with new extensions. So, in 1901-1902. The main building of the school was expanded. A northern three-story wing with a basement was attached to it, adjoining the corresponding end facade at a right angle. The project was made by the architect G.P. Popov, who was later repeatedly involved in construction work.
In 1903, the courtyard part of the northern wing was built on the second floor (Maly Kharitonevsky per., 5, building 1). In 1905, a mixed hospital building near the northern border was expanded with a stone two-story extension (Maly Kharitonevsky per., 5, building 5).

After 1917, the Diocesan Women's School was abolished. In the 1920s in possession of the Moscow Polytechnic. As a result, the main educational function of the historical building was preserved.

In the late 1920s the need for new educational and production areas required the expansion of the Polytechnic. In 1929, the architect P. Golosov developed its general architectural concept. It provided for the construction of new educational buildings, interconnected with the old building into a single complex, solved in the forms of constructivism. Construction was supposed to be carried out in two phases. Previously, for each stage, the project was additionally worked out in detail.
The first stage of construction, begun in 1929, was limited to the construction of one volume. The project was corrected by the architect M.V. Kryukov. The three-story building with a basement and a basement received a T-shape in plan and adjoined the main building with its western end (Bolshoy Kozlovsky per., 6, building 2). Previously, the protruding volume of the Filaret Church was dismantled in the main building. The new educational building was oriented strictly perpendicular to the western border (taking into account future construction) and deployed with a strongly protruding wing to the north.
The construction of the second stage included another training and production building and a club. The first one is a three-storey one with a basement floor, partly with a basement, and has a complex configuration. Its L-shaped courtyard wing was designed similarly to the volume erected in the first stage of construction and adjoined it with an end face with a passage arch. The main volume was deployed along the eastern border along the red line of Bolshoi Kozlovsky lane. Adjoined on the north side
two-story club building on the ground floor. The project, developed in detail by the architect N. Krestovnikov, was implemented in 1930.

Construction 1929–1930 completely transformed the historical space-planning structure of the property. The territory behind the former Filaret School was divided by new buildings into two zones - northern and southern. From Bolshoi Kozlovsky per. for the first time, the property received an architectural design consisting of large-scale buildings in the constructivist style. Currently, these buildings are combined under the address Bolshoy Kozlovsky lane, 6, building 2.

The next construction on the property was probably undertaken in the late 1940s - in the 1950s. It resulted in the appearance of a five-story building with a basement (modern address: B. Kozlovsky per., 6, building 8), which was attached to the northern courtyard wing of the 1930s. The docking point was marked by a travel arch.
In the 1950s The main building has undergone reconstruction with redevelopment of the interiors. At the same time, it received a new classical design of the main facade with a six-columned portico along the central axis.
Design work and construction in the 1940s–1950s carried out by the relevant services of the Ministry of Defense of the USSR. Design documents for this stage of construction are not available, and therefore the exact dates of work and the authors of the projects have not been established.

In 1970, a twelve-story building with a basement for the engineering services of the Navy was built on the territory of the property (Bolshoi Kozlovsky per., 6, building 3).
The project was developed in the Central Military Project of the USSR Ministry of Defense by architect K.A. Fomin and engineers M.L. Kreinin and Z.N. Ilyina. The building was placed in the southern courtyard area along the side border. With its four-story wing, it adjoined and planned to be connected with the end part of the building at Bolshoy Kozlovsky lane, 6, building 2. The architecture of the new building corresponded to the architectural and urban planning concepts of the 1970s. In terms of its scale and style characteristics, it began to stand out sharply from the surrounding historical buildings not only of the property, but also of the quarter.

The last building was a two-story building for the dining room. It is also located in the southern courtyard, filling the corner between the wings of house number 6, building 2 on Bolshoi Kozlovsky lane. Documents on this volume have not been found; it was probably built in the 1970s–1980s.

Name

There are two spellings for the name of the fleet:

• The first option is recommended by the specialists of the Internet portal Gramota.ru, with reference to the "Concise Guide to the Registration of Acts of the Federation Council of the Federal Assembly of the Russian Federation", as corresponding to the norms of official speech. These same experts, however, recognize the linguistic correctness of the second option.
• The second option corresponds to the rules of Russian spelling and is confirmed by the normative dictionaries of the Russian language.

Current Commander	Shortly before this, the Russian defense Department made an order for the development of a tracked combat vehicle, which will be created exclusively for the fleet. It is planned that the new naval infantry fighting vehicles will appear in 2015-2016. At the second stage of the development of coastal troops, it is planned to create and put into service a highly mobile amphibious combat vehicle to ensure the actions of the Marine Corps in any regions and climatic conditions, including the Arctic zone, the creation of robotic combat platforms for the Marine Corps, armed with weapons based on new physical principles, using various sources of energy for the operation of the engine. Naval Aviation UAV and UAV UAVs for the Navy are being developed by the United Aircraft Corporation (UAC). First of all, these are helicopter-type UAVs Ka-37S, Ka-135 and Ka-117. One of the main tasks facing naval helicopters in the near future will be radar patrol. The issue of covering the air situation beyond the radio visibility horizon of ship assets is a matter of paramount importance both for the purposes of air defense of ship groups and for their strike functions. Unmanned vehicles will also be used in the underwater environment. Tasks such as searching for and destroying sea mines, conducting anti-submarine and anti-sabotage warfare, protecting submarines and surface ships from underwater attack, reconnaissance of a wide variety of targets at sea - all this is gradually becoming the task of remote-controlled and autonomous vehicles. Helicopters In the autumn of 2011, in the Barents Sea, the Ka-52 practiced landing on the deck of the ship for two weeks. The tests took place, including the landing of the Ka-52 on the deck of the Admiral Kuznetsov TAVKR. At the beginning of 2012, the modernization of ten Ka-29 transport and combat helicopters, intended for deployment on Russian Mistrals, began. The onboard equipment and weapon systems of the vehicle will be upgraded to modern standards. On June 22, 2012, a Ka-31 shipborne helicopter of the Ka-31 radar patrol with tail number "90 red" arrived at the Center for Combat Use and Training of the Russian Navy Aviation Flight Crew in Yeysk. Presumably, this is the first serial Ka-31 helicopter built for the Russian Navy. In August 2012, the production of the first prototypes of the Ka-52K helicopter for the Mistral universal helicopter carrier began. Until the time when the Mistrals arrive from France to Russia, it is planned to work out the tasks of taking off and landing helicopters on the deck, like a year earlier, on the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. In September 2012, it became known that in total the number of Ka-52Ks per Mistral would be at least 14 vehicles. The same will be done with the Ka-29 and Ka-27 helicopters. By 2014, the Russian Navy will adopt a naval version of the Ka-62 Kasatka helicopter. Helicopters will be placed on small ships, in particular project 20380 corvettes Aircraft In the period from 2013 to 2015, RAC MiG is to transfer 20 single-seat MiG-29K aircraft and four double-seat MiG-29KUB aircraft to the Russian Navy Aviation. The aircraft will be part of a separate naval fighter regiment of the Russian Northern Fleet and will be based on the aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov. The Russian military should receive the first four MiG-29K/KUB aircraft in 2013. The MiG-29K/KUB fighters will replace the Su-33s in service, which are running out of service in 2015, but there is an intention to extend the service life of heavy carrier-based Su-33 fighters for at least five years, possibly even until 2025. Il-38N will expand the range of tasks to be solved and become indispensable for naval aviation. Now only anti-submarine and rescue aircraft remain in the fleet. It began to be brought up to modern requirements. In December 2013, the Ministry of Defense signed a contract with the Irkut Corporation for the supply of five Su-30SM fighters and five Yak-130 combat trainers. In total, in the interests of the Navy, it is planned to order 50 Su-30SMs and about a dozen Yak-130s in the near future. Aircraft carriers After many years of arguing whether the fleet needs a large ship with aircraft or whether nuclear submarines and cruisers can be dispensed with, Russian admirals chose the "American" model of the fleet - ship groups with an aircraft carrier in the center. Such an arrangement, they believe, will allow expanding the zone of influence of the Russian fleet and the zone of action of fighter aircraft to the Pacific Ocean and the North Atlantic. It was also decided that at the first stage two aircraft carrier groups would be created - one each in the Pacific and Northern Fleets. Russia still does not have the key technologies of a full-fledged aircraft carrier, for example, an aircraft catapult, although, back in the USSR, during the implementation of the Ulyanovsk project 1143.7, the ship was equipped with two Mayak steam catapults created at the Proletarian Plant The only operated heavy aircraft carrier Admiral Kuznetsov , which became part of the Northern Fleet in January 1991, is equipped with a take-off springboard instead of a catapult. It has already been decided that the aircraft carrier will be nuclear-powered. The diesel option was rejected due to the need for a large amount of fuel, which would have to be transported by tanker. It has also already been determined that the new Russian aircraft carrier will be built at two different shipyards according to a modular principle, and it is planned to assemble modules manufactured independently of each other at the largest Russian shipbuilding plant Sevmashpredpriyatie (Sevmash). In addition to Sevmash, in the future, it is possible to build an aircraft carrier on the main infrastructure project of USC OJSC, as part of the creation of a shipbuilding cluster in St. Petersburg on Kotlin Island called Novo-Admiralty Shipyards. Completion of the construction of the first stage is scheduled for 2014, the second stage - for 2015, the third - for 2016. The Russian Navy is completing the formation of the terms of reference for a new aircraft carrier. Its primary appearance will be determined already in 2013, and the final design of the ship should be ready by 2017. USC President Roman Trotsenko previously stated that in this case, the first ship is expected to be launched in 2023. By this time, the Navy should complete the formation of an escort group for each aircraft carrier, which will consist of missile cruisers, destroyers, multi-purpose submarines, frigates, corvettes, landing ships and support vessels, including icebreakers for the Arctic zone - a total of about 15 ships each. Simultaneously with the construction of aircraft carriers, the military will create new bases to support them. In addition, to train the aviation group, which will reach 100 aircraft, the Ministry of Defense will build a ground landing simulator on the deck in the city of Yeysk in the Krasnodar Territory, and will also continue to use the NITKA ground test complex in the Crimean city of Saki. On November 26, 2012, the Izvestia newspaper reported that the Main Command of the Navy before the end of the year would send for revision the project of the first Russian nuclear aircraft carrier, developed jointly by the St. Petersburg enterprises of the Krylov Central Research Institute and the Nevsky Design Bureau. The design of the ship with an estimated displacement of 60 thousand tons is based on the technologies of the 1980s. The Navy was offered, in fact, the old Soviet aircraft carrier Ulyanovsk, which was never built due to the collapse of the USSR. In the late 1980s, it was a modern aircraft carrier, a worthy answer to the American Nimitz-class aircraft carriers. By 2020, when the first Russian aircraft carrier is scheduled to go to sea, USA will already have the latest floating airfields of the Gerald Ford series, which are almost twice as large as the ship proposed by St. Petersburg designers. In addition, the Russian Navy is not satisfied with the ship's overly large superstructure, which makes it too visible to enemy radars, as well as the lack of an electromagnetic catapult, which the Americans already have and greatly simplifies aircraft takeoff from the deck. In addition, an airborne early warning aircraft (AWACS) - an essential component of a modern aircraft carrier squadron - does not fit on the hangar deck. Basing systems Promising basing systems will be created on the territory of the Kamchatka and Primorsky Territories. There will be a unified integrated basing system for nuclear submarines, amphibious assault ships and other large displacement surface ships, and a basing system will also be created for the Black Sea Fleet in the Novorossiysk area. In addition, work is underway to upgrade the basing systems in the Kaliningrad region and the Caspian region. At the international level, the creation of logistics centers for the Russian Navy in Cuba, the Seychelles and Vietnam is being discussed. On May 22, 2012, it became known that a set of works is being carried out to modernize the military harbor of Baltiysk: dredging is being carried out in order to ensure the basing of ships and submarines in the future. The development of the infrastructure of the Baltic Fleet will continue: the construction of military camps, the modernization of the Chkalovsk airfield and the military harbor of Baltiysk. Work to improve the basing system and coastal infrastructure is already underway. On July 10, 2012, it became known that Federal State Unitary Enterprise "Central Design Association" at Spetsstroy of Russia, commissioned by the Russian Ministry of Defense, developed a project for the reconstruction of berths with a total length of 3 kilometers at the base of the Navy in the city of Baltiysk, Kaliningrad Region, according to a press release from the company. "The port was built during the Second World War to house German ships and has never been renovated since." The scope of reconstruction work includes deepening the bottom of the water area, reconstruction of the berthing front with the laying of modern engineering networks, as well as new construction to provide ships. The project is being implemented in two stages, and the working documentation is currently being prepared. Work on the construction of a unified integrated system for basing nuclear submarines (NPS) and new large surface ships, including Mistral-type helicopter carriers, is being carried out in the Murmansk Region, Kamchatka and Primorye. The impact core of the Russian Navy, consisting of nuclear submarines of the Borey and Yasen types, corvettes and frigates, with a single basing system, but did not mention helicopter carriers. Commander-in-Chief of the Navy vice admiral Viktor Chirkov also reported earlier that this year preparations were intensified for the large-scale construction of a new basing system for the Navy until 2020. The Russian Federation will create a number of facilities in the Arctic along the Northern Sea Route for basing warships of the Navy and the Border Guard Service. The construction of the facilities of the first stage of the Novorossiysk Naval Base (NVMB) will be completed by the end of 2013. These facilities are designed for large warships with low draft, and this will allow the long-awaited redeployment of the Black Sea Fleet from Crimea to Novorossiysk to begin. The first to arrive at the new base will be the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet - the guards missile cruiser " Moscow ». A new berthing front has actually been created in Vladivostok, which provides mooring and basing of ten ships of various classes, including promising ones, which are not yet in the fleet. Navy. The new coastal infrastructure provides for the deployment of ships from the third to the first rank: guards, corvettes, frigates, destroyers and missile cruisers with the possibility of entering the fleet of new generation ships, with the exception of Mistral-class helicopter carriers. All communications providing parking and basing of ships have been replaced. Through these communications, electricity, water and steam are transferred from the shore to the ships. In addition, a so-called “storm system” has been created in the new “berthing front” to drain water from the berths in case of heavy rainfall. The Engineering Service of the Pacific Fleet (TOF), together with the Spetsstroy Rossii enterprise, are preparing for the design and construction of hydraulic structures that are designed to ensure the basing of Mistral-type ships in the port of Vladivostok. The berths located in the center of Vladivostok have undergone a deep modernization with the strengthening of the coast. The most modern complex of berthing facilities of the Pacific Fleet is capable of receiving not only all existing types of ships, but also those that should enter service before 2020. During the reconstruction, the specialists of one of the branches at Spetsstroy of Russia actually created a new “berthing front”, replaced all communications that ensure the parking and basing of ships in accordance with modern requirements, created a storm system to drain water from the berths. As a result of the modernization carried out, an increase in the safety of the parking of ships was ensured, regardless of hydrometeorological conditions. On March 18, 2013, retired Lebanese Armed Forces Brigadier General Amin Hotei said in an interview with Turkish radio that: The visit of Russian warships to Beirut in order to replenish supplies and fuel should not become an ordinary occurrence. Previously, Russian ships were sent to Tartus without calling at Lebanese ports. One of the reasons for the current visit to Beirut may be that Lebanon could turn into a new center for a Russian strategic military base in the region. In the light of current events in Tartus, the port of Beirut has become a safer anchorage for Russian ships.

(Navy) today is one of the branches of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation. Its main purpose is the armed protection of the interests of the country, the conduct of hostilities in the sea and ocean spaces.

Historically, the territory of the Russian state is in contact with several seas and oceans. This inevitably forced in the past and forces today to pay close attention to the development of the state fleet, whose tasks include creating conditions for the safety of navigation in coastal seas and oceans, the interaction of Russian fleets with sea formations and ships of foreign states in the framework of joint operations and military exercises meets the interests of our country beyond its maritime borders.

Flagship of the Russian Navy

The Navy of the Russian Federation is currently undergoing a stage of intensive rearmament to increase its power, efficiency, secrecy in the delivery of means of destruction of targets of a potential enemy, deterring the aggressive aspirations of NATO countries led by the United States in the vast oceans and seas.

Navy Day

This year's celebration Navy Day will take place for the 80th time.

On July 24, 1939, for the first time, at the insistence of the Soviet Admiral Nikolai Gerasimovich Kuznetsov, the sailors of the Soviet Union celebrated their professional holiday, established by a decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the country.

The fleet attracted young forces into its ranks; the holiday promoted the historical maritime traditions of the state; aroused interest in service on warships and new submarines; in parts of coastal defense and fleet aviation.

In modern times, Navy Day is celebrated on the last Sunday of July. Almost the entire country loves sailors, they are proud of them, they note their worthy contribution to ensuring the security of our borders. On this summer holiday, ranks are awarded to officers and sailors, awards are presented and rewards are announced for success in mastering difficult maritime specialties.

Structure and composition of the Navy

The regular modern structure of our fleet includes:

• formations of surface ships;
• submarine connections of ships;
• aviation units on the coast and carrier-based aviation;
• parts of the Marine Corps;
• coastal defense complexes;
• special units;
• rear units and bases;
• hydrographic service.

The Navy consists of four fleets and one flotilla:

• Northern Fleet
• Baltic Fleet
• Pacific Fleet
• Black Sea Fleet
• Caspian flotilla

The command of the country's Navy is carried out in several strategic areas:

• the west - as part of the ZVO by the Baltic Fleet (headquarters in Kaliningrad);
• north - by the Northern Fleet (Severomorsk);
• the south - as part of the Southern Military District by the Black Sea Fleet (Sevastopol) and the Caspian Flotilla (Astrakhan);
• the east - as part of the VVO by the Pacific Fleet (Vladivostok).
• Part Navy includes ships and vessels, special-purpose units, units and subunits of the rear.

A bit of history: The founder of the Russian fleet was none other than Peter I. Having become interested in ships, he created a small semblance of a shipyard. It was called the "Funny Fleet".

Soon Peter I planned the construction of the navy. Subsequently, development continued in the White Sea. He had the idea that with the help of the fleet it would be easier to capture new territories, which he did very well in the future. But in a certain period of time, during the blockade of Azov, the fleet of Peter I was defeated. And only in 1695 new best ships and ships were built. It was these events that became the foundation for building a regular Navy.

The Navy uses:

• For the transportation and protection of amphibious assault
• To lay mines and destroy enemy mines
• To ensure the free exit, deployment and arrival of submarine forces
• To protect communications (maritime)

Submarine forces of the Navy used for sudden deliveries of powerful strikes against reconnaissance and naval targets. The basis of the submarine forces are nuclear submarines equipped with ballistic and cruise missiles. Naval aviation The Navy is used for:

• Repulsing attacks from the air
• Instructions for ships to destroy enemy submarines
• To deal significant damage to enemy coastal targets
• Carrying out a sea battle with enemy ships

Coastal troops The Navy uses:

• for the defense of coastal facilities, ports (ensuring coast protection)
• for conducting combat operations with the help of air, air-sea and sea landing

Commander-in-Chief of the Navy

Since 2016, he has been in command of the Navy of the state Admiral Korolev Vladimir Ivanovich.

For a long time he served on the submarines of the Northern Fleet, went through many command levels and studied at the academy, commanded the Northern Fleet and took an active part in the development of the Arctic region by army formations. The only submarine admiral in the history of the Russian Navy.

Navy training

The Naval Training Center in St. Petersburg is located on several territories in the cities of Lomonosov and Kronstadt, as well as on Vasilyevsky Island in St. Petersburg - military unit 56529-2

Barracks accommodation, a common dining room and a bathhouse, educational buildings, a parade ground and sports facilities make up the strict infrastructure of the training center.

The training program for sailors and specialists for coastal defense is the same and is designed for a period of up to 4 months. The course of a young fighter, physical, drill, special and rescue training are the main areas of study.

Upon completion, the cadets are examined and depart for naval units.

As part of the joint training center of the Navy in Severodvinsk, it trains fleet specialists in military unit 56529-3. The main direction of training is the propulsion systems of ships. The training period for sailors is 5 months. (the first month general military, drill and physical training, taking the oath). Sailor specialties - electrician, diesel engine driver, turbinist.

Accommodation in the barracks, common dining room and bathhouse, classrooms and workshops. At the end of training - exams, distribution to the ships of all fleets of Russia.

In Vladivostok, the training center (military unit 56529-4), which celebrated its 80th anniversary in 2018, conducts intensive training in many maritime specialties.

Cadets are trained by experienced teachers in 40 specialties, most of which are in demand on fleet submarines. The annual turnover of trainees is up to 2 thousand people. In addition to combined arms training, cadets are taught how to survive in various extreme conditions that arise in closed compartments of warships.

Accommodation and conditions do not differ from the centers described earlier, but the training base is specialized and equipped with modern equipment and simulators.

Flag of the Navy

Other name - St. Andrew's flag Historically, it appeared by decree of Peter I in 1699 on the ships of the young fleet of Russia under construction. It existed in the navy until 1918. It was introduced again on the ships of the country in 1992. According to legend, the cross on the flag belonged to St. Andrew the First-Called, who visited Russia and is considered its patron saint.

Navy ships

According to their intended purpose, the ships of the Navy perform various tasks:

• heavy nuclear cruisers provide cover for naval groupings, convoys and coastal troops from air strikes and cruise missiles, counteract enemy naval forces and landings;
• destroyers support landing forces, suppressing targets on the coast, on the water and in the air; participate in patrols;
• anti-submarine ships search for and destroy enemy submarines, carry out anti-submarine and anti-aircraft defense of the fleet forces;
• corvettes provide combat protection for convoys and fleet forces on raids;
• minesweepers set and sweep minefields and participate in the defense of coastal areas from landing forces;
• landing ships deliver military equipment and troops to the shore;
• strategic submarines carry out strikes on enemy territory with the help of ballistic missiles;
• multi-purpose submarines provide cover for strategic submarines, reconnoiter launch areas, counteract enemy submarines and surface forces, strike with cruise missiles at various targets;
• specialized submarines participate in sabotage and reconnaissance operations, design tests and scientific research.

A cursory glance at the presented table of ships of the Navy shows a wide variety of designs and types, which leads to significant costs during repair and modernization due to poor unification of units, assemblies and weapons.

Another difficulty is the training of ship specialists to provide for the heterogeneous ships in the fleet, many of which were built in the Soviet years and are now outdated and in need of modernization or decommissioning.

Navy uniform

The daily uniform of sailors of the Navy on ships includes:

• a blue shirt with a sailor collar;
• blue trousers with a belt;
• vest;
• boots (half boots);
• peakless cap (cap).

The sailors of the coastal units wear the general army uniform.

The daily uniform of warrant officers and officers of the fleet includes:

• a cap according to the color of outerwear;
• scarf (white) and gloves (black);
• boots.

It is allowed to wear caps, hats, sweaters, raincoats, coats or jackets.

Women in the Navy wear:

• cream blouses;
• black ties;
• skirts (black) with waist belt;
• caps;
• shoes (boots);

Navy Dagger

Daggers are worn by midshipmen and officers of the Navy on a belt belt when participating in ceremonial events. The history of the sea dagger begins in the 16th century, when it was used for its intended purpose as a melee weapon in close combat.

Nowadays, it is awarded to officers upon graduation from the school along with a diploma and receiving the first rank. It symbolizes the historical connection with the generations of the legendary Russian sailors who won many victories in battles at sea.

Navy parade in St. Petersburg

A colorful solemn parade in honor of the Day of the Russian Navy took place on July 29, 2018 in St. Petersburg.

40 modern ships and boats represented 4 fleets of the country and the Caspian flotilla (artillery-class boats with historical flags of the defenders of the country's borders during the Great Patriotic War).

After the volley of the Peter and Paul Fortress, the boat, with the Supreme Commander-in-Chief V.V. Putin, Minister of Defense General of the Army S.K. Shoigu and Commander-in-Chief of the Navy Admiral V.I. Korolev, walked along the line of ships. The personnel were congratulated on the holiday, V.V. Putin made a speech.

The ships on the Neva demonstrated the coherence of following in the wake formation, the festive ranks of sailors on the decks. In the waters of Kronstadt, ocean-type warships (missile cruiser and nuclear submarine missile cruiser) and the latest frigates and submarines were demonstrated. 38 aircraft and helicopters of the fleet aviation flew in the sky in various formations:

• search aircraft Il-38N;
• Su-30SM fighters;
• multipurpose fighters Su-33;
• anti-ship search helicopters Ka-27M;
• anti-submarine aircraft Tu-142.

Officers, midshipmen and sailors of the fleet marched along the squares and embankments of the northern capital (about 4 thousand military personnel participated in the parade).
Exhibitions of armaments of coastal defense units were always a success with children and guests of the holiday.

The concept of development of the Russian Navy in the modern world The Russian Federation has a defensive orientation of the strategic concept of the development of the Armed Forces. Without planning attacks on neighboring countries, Russia is making reasonable efforts to maintain a sufficient level of defense capabilities.

The main probable adversary - the United States adheres to the concept of dominance in the expanses of the seas and oceans. The focus is on large naval formations consisting of aircraft carriers and accompanying ships, nuclear submarines that are capable of inflicting preventive nuclear strikes on enemy territory with ballistic and cruise missiles, suppressing air defense systems and coastal defense units, and capturing port facilities and bases.

To effectively counter such formations, our country has created the latest weapons capable of hitting aircraft carriers and strategic submarines (Tsirkon, Caliber, Onyx cruise missiles, high-speed deep-water torpedoes), enemy coastal infrastructure (the Poseidon autonomous complex) .

Planned modernization of ships and their re-equipment is underway. Modern submarine strategic missile cruisers with the latest ballistic missiles are being actively built, which are capable of quietly entering the launch areas and delivering retaliatory strikes at strategic targets on enemy territory. Much attention is paid to the project of creating at the bottom of specialized complexes and robotic systems that will operate in the event of critical situations, being in peacetime in "sleep" mode.

The aviation of the Navy is replenished with unmanned vehicles for various purposes, modern helicopters (Ka-62) and aircraft (MiG-29K for ships and Su-30SM for coastal aviation).

In recent years, military infrastructure has been developing in the northern regions of our country: military camps in the Arctic are being built, equipped with the latest detection and destruction equipment, exercises of the marines and ship crews are conducted in the harsh conditions of the Far North, and the icebreaking fleet is being modernized.

Additional research is being carried out in the waters of the Northern Sea Route, which is being used more and more intensively both by our country and other countries. Actively developing mineral deposits on the ocean shelf. Ensuring the protection of our northern borders and economic facilities is one of the tasks of the Russian Northern Fleet.

With the reunification of the Crimean peninsula, the defense task of the Black Sea Fleet of the country became more complicated. The turbulent situation on the borders with Ukraine and in the Black Sea, the provocative actions of NATO ships force sailors to maintain high combat capability, to master the latest equipment and weapons of ships and coastal units in a short time.

Naval aviation demonstrates skill and forces potential provocateurs on the water to abandon their vile plans. Comprehensive plans are being worked out to create two groupings led by aircraft carriers in the north and east, which will be able to withstand similar formations of a potential enemy and carry out strategic tasks of command.

A separate area of ​​training in the fleet is the improvement of the skills and methods of conducting diving and sabotage work of special units of saboteur fighters. They currently have at their disposal submarines specially converted for the delivery of mini-submarines, special equipment, weapons and ammunition, advanced training and education methods. Taking part in specialized exercises of sabotage units, our fighters invariably occupy first places there.

Summing up, it must be emphasized that in Russia for the development Navy commensurate efforts are being made to re-equip the fleet and units covering the coastal and coastal zones with modern systems and weapons capable of ensuring the tasks of defending the motherland's maritime borders.

Service in Navy was, is and will be difficult and honorable at all times.

The Joint Strategic Command "North" is a military-administrative unit of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation in the north of the country, designed to protect the Russian Arctic region.
It was formed on June 1, 1933 as the Northern Military Flotilla. On May 11, 1937, the flotilla was reorganized into the Northern Fleet. In 2014, it was transformed into the joint strategic command "North".

Russian Defense Minister Sergei Shoigu decided to cancel one of the most costly and thoughtless decisions of Serdyukov. In 2012, one of the most odious decisions of former Defense Minister Anatoly Serdyukov was carried out: the General Staff of the Russian Navy moved from Moscow to St. Petersburg. On this occasion, the headquarters of the Leningrad Naval Base was urgently evicted from the St. Petersburg Admiralty to Kronstadt, and the Naval Engineering Institute to the city of Pushkin, Leningrad Region.

A costly renovation was started in the historic building, to which even today there is no end in sight. This week it turned out: all the torment is in vain. The main headquarters of the Navy was ordered urgently (already in 2015) to return to Moscow.

St. Petersburg. View of the complex of buildings of the Admiralty on the 2nd Admiralteysky Island

So ingloriously and with huge financial losses for the country ends the long epic wanderings of the naval leadership, which began back in 2007. Its initiators never hid - Boris Gryzlov, who at that time headed the State Duma and the United Russia party, as well as the former governor of St. Petersburg Valentina Matvienko. Valentina Ivanovna then, in 2007, happily announced: “We have been nurturing this idea for a long time.”

Everything was done under the slogan of returning capital functions to St. Petersburg and freeing Moscow from their surpluses. So the Constitutional Court moved to the Northern capital? Who else would you drag? And come on, military sailors. Nevertheless, St. Petersburg is the cradle of the Russian fleet. It looks like a return to the roots. In addition, the Admiralty was built for Peter's still admirals.

Nearby there will be a bunch of design bureaus and research institutes, shipyards, the Naval Academy, schools, the Leningrad Naval Base. The Baltic Fleet, after all. Such was the system of high-ranking arguments for this idea. They saw it as very glamorous.

In response - the indignation of the people of the cause. First of all - naval specialists, former and current fleet commanders. In an open letter from retired admirals to the President of the country, the initiative of Gryzlov and Matvienko was called "harmful and absolutely unacceptable." They also indicated the approximate price that will cost the budget - 40-50 billion rubles.

The main headquarters of the Navy is not just a couple of hundred offices on Bolshoi Kozlovsky, the authors of the letter explained to the dull ones. First of all, these are officer-operators who have been trained for decades to manage warships, aircraft and nuclear submarines in the oceans. Towards the end of the service, they acquired apartments in the capital and are not ready to move. This time.

Communication centers with hectares of antenna fields and hundreds of kilometers of cables (primarily the 109th Central Communications Center in Balashikha), multi-storey underground command posts built in the Moscow region are two. If the naval leadership moves to St. Petersburg, who will need these top secret cyclopean structures in the old place? And the new one has nothing of the kind. And it is not expected in the coming decades due to the lack of funds for such a gigantic construction site.

Finally, how to carry out operational interaction in Moscow through the secret correspondence of the Main Staff of the Navy with the General Staff of the Armed Forces and the Ministry of Defense is understandable. But how to build all this from St. Petersburg? Send out a courier and submachine gunners every day with every paper?

Most likely, these doubts in the Kremlin were then considered the senile grumblings of retired admirals. And shrugged them off like annoying flies. The idea of ​​moving promised Anatoly Serdyukov and his "women's battalion" the liberation of priceless hectares in the center of Moscow and the Moscow suburbs. Everything else paled in their eyes before a brilliant commercial prospect.

Various minor difficulties on the cherished road met Serdyukov and then. For example, in 2008, at a conference of the Academy of Military Sciences, the then Chief of the General Staff Yuri Baluyevsky was asked: how does he feel about the planned relocation of the General Staff of the Navy to St. Petersburg? " Personally, I consider it so that it is not necessary.", was the answer of the general of the army. He was immediately dismissed.

The former Commander-in-Chief of the Navy, Admiral Vladimir Vysotsky, also opposed the idea for a long time. True, cautiously and not publicly. He told reporters that he had not seen official papers on this matter, and therefore, he was not ready to talk about the timing. According to rumors, Vysotsky had to endure brutal undercover fights. They say that it was because of them that in mid-2011 the 55-year-old commander-in-chief was dismissed by President Dmitry Medvedev. No doubt the cause was scandal. At the age of 55, commanders-in-chief do not leave their chairs just like that.

The path to the move was almost cleared. The officers and admirals of the General Staff remained, of whom far from all were ready to pack their bags. They were dealt with even easier - a tsunami of staff cuts swept through the corridors of Bolshoy Kozlovsky. Out of almost a thousand military men, two-thirds were sent to the reserve and retired for “organizational and staff measures”.

Most of those who remained in their positions arrived in Moscow recently from the fleets and did not have time to acquire apartments in the “first-throne”. These went to St. Petersburg with a light soul, since they were promised the coveted housing at least in a new place. Therefore, Vysotsky's successor as commander-in-chief, Admiral Viktor Chirkov, in 2012, when everything had already happened, reported in all seriousness: “ Of the 100% staffing of the main command, for family reasons, three people refused to go, who will be fired. Therefore, there are no losses.».

However, everyone quickly became convinced that it was difficult to manage fleets from St. Petersburg. Travel expenses to Moscow and hotels at the General Staff rose explosively. Chirkov himself began to spend the night in the compartment of the Red Arrow branded train, it seems, more often than in his own bedroom. It was often simply impossible for the ranks of the General Staff to get the coveted signatures under official documents in time - many had to be rushed by plane or train to the General Staff and the Ministry of Defense. We also had to communicate with ships in the ocean through Moscow - but how else? Crazy house on a sinking cruiser during a fire ...

And then back in November 2012, the merchant minister Serdyukov was removed. Sergei Shoigu, who replaced him on the ruins of the army, quickly sorted out the problems of military sailors. Already a month and a half after the devastating move, he ordered "to work out the issue of the return of the General Staff of the Navy to Moscow." At the same time - and with an increase by 150 posts of the staff of naval managers thoughtlessly destroyed by Serdyukov.

And now, it turns out, the moment of return has come. Although, strictly speaking, this is not quite a correction of the previous mistakes of the country's leadership and the Ministry of Defense. Because the main command of naval sailors is being returned to Moscow in a new place and in a new capacity. The department will not move into its former apartments in the capital's Bolshoi Kozlovsky Lane near the Krasnye Vorota metro station. And there is nowhere to go – in this complex of buildings, since the same 2012, the headquarters of the rear of the Armed Forces of the Russian Federation has been quartering. And, by the way, he still does not know why he inherited protected lines of communication with the fleets and the same Balashikha.

Well, the headquarters of the rear has nowhere to move from Bolshoy Kozlovsky. Its former windows looked directly at Red Square and the Spasskaya Tower. Therefore, these priceless buildings were among the first to be sold.

In general, now the disposition is as follows: the Main Headquarters of the Navy is waiting for the Moscow Arbat. That is, a snow-white building in which the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff itself are lodging today. Together with the sailors, the commanders-in-chief of the Ground Forces and the Air Force will also move there at the beginning of next year.

And where are the Ministry of Defense and the General Staff? The road is also waiting for them, but not far - to the Frunzenskaya embankment of the Moscow River. In the "high-rise", which since Soviet times was occupied by the vast General Headquarters of the Ground Forces, and today - its scraps.

There, on Frunzenskaya Embankment, from December 1, one of Shoigu's main brainchildren will start working - National Defense Control Center of the Russian Federation (NTSUOG). It will include three command posts: a high command center, a combat control center, including the Nuclear Deterrent Forces, and a center for managing the day-to-day activities of the army and navy.

Moreover, it will not just be a new "brain of the army." NTSUOG is conceived as a governing body of all state structures, capable of operating in conditions of both full-scale hostilities and non-traditional forms of warfare. Secure communication lines will be extended from here to all federal ministries and departments, as well as to the administrations of the country's regions.

So it might turn out well. But is it rational for military sailors to get from Bolshoi Kozlovsky to Frunzenskaya via St. Petersburg? And how much does this fare cost? If one way is 40-50 billion rubles, then the other is probably about the same amount. Then, shall we count?

100 billion rubles is, after all, at the current rate of 2.5 billion dollars. According to open sources, one modern corvette of the "Guarding" type or a frigate of the "Admiral Grigorovich" type costs the treasury 100 million dollars. Then it turns out that on the journey of the Main Headquarters of the Navy from Moscow to St. Petersburg and back, we thoughtlessly "played" a whole squadron - 25 ships of the ocean zone.

Messrs. Gryzlov, Medvedev and Serdyukov, Ms. Matvienko - who will pay for this banquet for the country?

The scandal with the Main Staff of the Navy was commented on by many. The most eloquent of all, in my opinion, came from the former submariner, seascape writer Alexander Pokrovsky: “ All this, it seems to me, can only be done with a very large oil fat. A lot happens to fat».
