The new commander of the Northern Fleet (SF) will be the Chief of Staff of the Northern Fleet, Vice Admiral Nikolai Evmenov, a source in the fleet command told FlashNord.

“The decision has already been made in the Ministry of Defense and the documents have been approved. In the near future, Nikolai Evmenov will be presented to the personnel in a new capacity," the agency's interlocutor said.

Recall that a year ago, after Evmenov's speech to the submariners of the Northern Fleet was posted online, the admiral became a real Internet star. Even experienced sailors were struck by the fact that “checkmate through the word” - in this case it was literally. “So it is, Comrade Admiral!” commentators were delighted.

At present, N. Evmenov is the acting commander of the Northern Fleet. The current commander of the Northern Fleet, Admiral Vladimir Korolev, was appointed at the end of November as acting commander-in-chief of the Navy. According to that source, V.Korolev's candidacy is the most likely for the post of commander-in-chief.

N. Evmenov became the new chief of staff of the Federation Council in November 2012. Prior to that, he commanded the submarine forces of the Pacific Fleet (Pacific Fleet). N. Evmenov became famous after the publication in 2014 of a video in which he can be heard telling submarine officers about the inadmissibility of driving while intoxicated. The record, which has collected hundreds of thousands of views, was made during his service at the Pacific Fleet, but it was published only in 2014.

The stern admiral instructs the heroic submariners

(Caution! Obscene language! 18+):

Especially the inspiration of the admiral visited at the 7th minute

The opinions of the commentators were divided at the time. Some believed that without a mat in the fleet, nowhere, others - that they had witnessed the shame of the Russian fleet ...

“I served in the Navy for 25 years, I saw and heard everything! Vitaly Melnik also responded. “But I have never seen a senior officer with such epaulettes stoop so low in front of his subordinates. You can imagine P.S. Nakhimov or S.O. Makarov in the place of Rear Admiral Evmenov. Under N.G. Kuznetsov, he would no longer serve in the USSR Navy. His rhetoric is not justified by any circumstances and speaks only of the low intellect of this person who occupies such a high post! But these officers will copy him, for them he is an example! What weathered the culture in the Navy? At all!? Sad!!!"

Immediately after the appearance of the video, N. Evmenov announced a month without swearing in the Northern Fleet. The command of the Northern Fleet has resolutely taken up the eradication of swearing in the ranks of the sailors, Rossiyskaya Gazeta wrote. More than 100 different educational events were announced in the military units and on the ships of the Northern Fleet. Among them are lectures and reports on the topics of military education, cultural recreation.

Yes he was right!!! and for those - who do not understand simple truths - it is necessary with obscenities, maybe it will come like that! The motherland pays, treats, etc. and some "Officers" cannot control themselves - stop in time when drinking alcoholic beverages ..... But what kind of defender is he, since he simply cannot control himself !!! the list of the dead - clearly says ...... as a result - neither the Motherland, nor the family of the victims - absolutely nothing good ....

Mdya. The first comments strained, but I look more smart people.

From myself: served from 1998 to 2008 in Kamchatka. People-icons of the Pacific Fleet: Sidenko, Kirillov. I also include Evmenov there. "Uncle Kolya", as the staff officers called him behind his back.

PySy: Who doesn’t like Evmenov’s style, for the sake of interest, look in the expanses of Tyrnet for the statements of Yuri Vasilyevich Kirillov (this is not fiction, this performance could last for hours on the parade ground, impromptu)

NEMO and Alex! It turned out in my life that I have been connected with the armed forces since the age of 17. Not being a regular military man (there is such a definition - civilian), but I served urgently and took an oath in the Union and I can give personnel a head start in my specialty. I don’t serve, but I work in the auxiliary fleet. I have subordinates and when they don’t understand something, I explain to them exactly as the admiral did in this video (and lo and behold, they begin to understand me and focus on the problem that has arisen). This is psychology. In the army and navy, you can deliver a lot of grief without resorting to swearing and exceeding the voice. Everything will be purely according to the charter and automatically (you deserve it, get it)

A mat gives a psycho-logical assessment of what happened. We are all people and nothing human is alien to us. Admiral (he is also a human). It is not he (Alex) a drunken freak, but freaks who brought a military officer to such an emotional design of his monologue. Yes, and in prison stories they don’t really believe (you, Alex, as I understand it, you weren’t in the navy either) It’s just that I started my work in construction units on the Kola Peninsula (if that tells you something). And NEMO can only tell you one thing ..... This rare fossil animal is responsible for life, health, well-being,

the moral behavior of people subordinate to him in front of the state and their parents. They will ask for everything from this (as you said) rare cattle. (Imagine yourself in his place). The chief’s prerogative is to communicate with people subordinate to him in the way they deserve it with their behavior. (If these are sheep, then the conversation is like with sheep). they ate deliciously all so white and fluffy (you probably don’t even take a fried chicken with your hands, but poke it with a fork). Sorry for the spelling, I didn’t graduate from universities, but I expressed it honestly in meaning, as I think and consider it right under which I subscribe. Alexey Pekhterev 566 OSO

You would have to plunge into the fleet for a couple of years into the atmosphere of seafarers - especially submariners - when you are 100% up to your cap and health (there is no personal time there - and leaving the town with permission - there were such times) belong to one goal - which can destroy entire continents, so civil ethics in the male team does not work there. And the submarine admiral Evmenov is an indisputable authority, he himself served there.

In support of the above.

Where are the 10th and 25th Submarine Divisions located? At the end of the recording, a command concerning them sounds. Yuzaem in the internet - oops! It turns out the Pacific Fleet! Then we look where the submariner served ... it turns out until 2011 in the Pacific Fleet, and for the last five years he has been studying at the Academy (In Moscow - the General Staff or in Leningrad - the Navy). Even though the details don't matter...

... "announced a month without swearing in the Northern Fleet"! Ahaha!...))

Just in case, this is not the Northern Fleet, but the Pacific Fleet. That way at least 5-6 years ago. There are no berths for holding parades in the Northern Fleet, where submarines pr.949 are stationed. That is, 90% of the information in the article is nonsense!

And the fact that "contract soldiers" (drunken sailors), mind you - Not officers, "cleans for nothing," so these are all frank emotions! Moreover, characterizing the open, honest character of a person, his straightforwardness and sincere indignation at the death of Russian citizens in peacetime, due to sloppiness and permissiveness ...

One pilot died in Syria - half the world's war, and here so many died ... listen carefully! He speaks not from himself, he speaks from the mothers and children of the murdered!!! He calls for conscience and prudence! However, there is also a threat for those who do not understand or do not want to embark on the path of self-consciousness (in the sense - "this is the last, Chinese warning").

And you, dumb and alex, go and didn’t serve, b.d. The admiral explained everything intelligibly and clearly. How else. Well, there are a few many words of connectives, as in German village .. des .. dem ..., and in our fleet the word-bundle is b..d. By the way, after the service, I also could not express an idea without this word, then I learned. As you can see.

Some drunken freak, not an officer. He should go to jail, tell stories

The Arctic is a special territory, and the attitude requires an appropriate one. Respect for nature, respect for the people working here, attention to the defense of the region... The last and most difficult task is performed by the Northern Fleet.

In December, it will be three years since the creation on its basis of an interspecific strategic association to protect the national interests of the Russian Federation in the Arctic. We talked about ensuring security in this area with the commander of the Northern Fleet, Vice Admiral Nikolai Evmenov.

Nikolai Evmenov: "The Northern Fleet is a guarantor of stability, allowing it to protect Russia's economic and political interests anywhere in the World Ocean." Photo: press service of the Federation Council.

- Nikolai Anatolyevich, what is the Northern Fleet today?

We are the only and most powerful formation of the Russian Navy, which has the status of a military district.

The fleet's area of ​​responsibility includes four subjects of the Russian Federation, airspace, the waters of the Arctic Ocean and the northern coast of Russia from the border with Norway to the Laptev Sea inclusive. The presence of naval strategic nuclear forces and modern ships of the far ocean zone makes the Northern Fleet a guarantor of stability and makes it possible to protect Russia's economic and political interests anywhere in the world's oceans.

- Who and how is protecting the Russian Arctic today?

The Northern Fleet includes unique formations and units. This is an arctic motorized rifle brigade, a tactical group of coastal troops, air defense units that are on combat watch on the islands of the Arctic Ocean, on the archipelagos of Franz Josef Land, Novaya Zemlya, Severnaya Zemlya and the New Siberian Islands.

The system of military infrastructure on the Arctic islands and in the continental regions of the Far North has already been largely formed and continues to be improved. On the islands of Kotelny and Alexandra Land, administrative and housing complexes of a closed cycle were built, in which our military personnel live and serve.

- The Arctic does not indulge in weather. How are things going with the delivery of supplies and cargo to such remote bases?

Each Arctic base of the Northern Fleet, like an orbital station, is capable of operating autonomously from a year to a year and a half. At the same time, if necessary, any materials, equipment or supplies can be delivered to the base as soon as possible, despite the weather and natural conditions. Each is equipped with all-weather airfields that can receive various types of aircraft, including heavy transport and fighter aircraft.

2017 is the year of ecology, and the Arctic is a unique natural area that requires protection in itself. Is the Northern Fleet doing any work in this direction?

Let's start with the fact that construction here is carried out in the most environmentally friendly ways, so as not to harm nature.

Secondly, we are trying not only to preserve the environment, but also to clean it from the accumulated garbage. For the third year in a row, on Kotelny Island, an environmental platoon of military personnel of the Northern Fleet collects scrap metal and presses it for removal and disposal.

During the three years of cleaning up the island, the Severomorians removed more than 2,400 tons of scrap metal.

- What innovations are planned to strengthen the defense capability in the Arctic?

A system is being created for monitoring the surface and underwater situation of the Northern Sea Route and for complete control of the airspace over our area of ​​responsibility in the Arctic.

At the end of 2015, the first anti-aircraft missile regiment on the Novaya Zemlya archipelago took up combat duty. It is armed with a modernized air defense system.

Starting from 2012, ships and vessels of the Northern Fleet have been making regular cruises in the seas of the Arctic Ocean to improve the training of sailors and personnel of the ground and coastal forces of the fleet.

- What do you remember about this year? What stages of development of the Arctic have yet been passed?

Traditionally, one of the central events for us was the campaign of a detachment of warships and support vessels across the seas of the Arctic Ocean. This time it was the largest and most saturated.

Nine ships and support vessels were involved. In total, they traveled about 6,000 nautical miles - from Severomorsk to the New Siberian Islands and back. Through the waters of the Barents, Kara and Laptev Seas, as well as along the Yenisei River to the port of Dudinka. In this area, fighters of the Arctic motorized rifle brigade, together with units of the Airborne Forces and special forces, conducted an interspecific tactical exercise to protect and defend an industrial facility in the Arctic.

During the campaign, the Severomorians landed four times on an unequipped coast. For the first time, we landed heavy equipment on Cape Chelyuskin, the northernmost point of Eurasia.

- But campaigns are not only military actions, but also work with people?

During the exercises on Taimyr, the military personnel of the Northern Fleet carried out a large cultural program. We held sports competitions with local volleyball, football and hockey teams, met with young people and told schoolchildren about the features of service in the Northern Fleet. As part of the military-technical forum "Army-2017" in the Northern Fleet, our ships in Dudinka were opened for visiting by residents of the city. During the forum, ships of the fleet in Dudinka were visited by more than ten thousand local residents. 160 Taimyr schoolchildren were accepted into the ranks of the Yunarmiya.

To explore the Arctic, the Hydrographic Service of the Northern Fleet has recreated the Arctic Oceanographic Expedition, which already has several discoveries to its credit.

Every year, several expeditions on hydrographic vessels go to the Arctic. Researchers have made more than 20 discoveries of geographical objects in the Novaya Zemlya region. Due to the melting of glaciers, several islands, capes and straits were formed, which are already mapped.

This year, the Senezh hydrographic vessel studied the coastline on the Arctic islands of Vize, Ushakov, Schmidt, as well as on Severny Island of the Novaya Zemlya archipelago. In the process of research, hydrographers discovered two previously unknown capes and a new island that emerged from under the Chaev glacier.

CHRONICLE OF ARCTIC TRIPS IN RECENT YEARS

2012 - Marines of the Northern Fleet for the first time in the history of the Russian Navy landed on the unequipped coast of Kotelny Island.

2013 - a detachment of ships led by the flagship of the Northern Fleet, the heavy nuclear missile cruiser Pyotr Veliky, delivered equipment and property to the Novosibirsk Islands to restore the Temp aviation commandant's office.

2014 - exercises to protect the Arctic island zone and the sea coast of the Russian Federation on the New Siberian Islands.

2015 - for the first time, an interspecific exercise was held with the participation of units of the Arctic motorized rifle brigade of the Northern Fleet to protect important facilities on the Taimyr Peninsula.

2016 - For the first time in history, amphibious assaults landed on the unequipped coast of the island of Alexandra Land in Russia's northernmost archipelago - Franz Josef Land.

2017 - a trip from Severomorsk to the New Siberian Islands with an amphibious landing in armored vehicles on the islands of Kotelny, Golomyanny, Cape Chelyuskin and on an unequipped river coast near the port of Dudinka in Taimyr.

Order of the Red Banner

Northern Fleet- the most newly minted Russian fleet, has been in existence for 83 years. It was formed on June 1, 1933 as the Northern Military Flotilla. On May 11, 1937, the flotilla was reorganized into the Northern Fleet. The fleet is deployed in the seas of the Arctic Ocean, with a base currently located in the city of Severomorsk. The Northern Fleet acquired its first large-scale combat experience during the Soviet-Finnish war of 1939-1940, and the Northern Fleet also made a huge contribution to the Great Patriotic War, for which it was awarded the Order of the Red Banner. At the moment, the fleet has ships of all types and classes, the fleet meets all the innovations in military equipment and weapons. Currently headed by Admiral Vladimir Ivanovich Korolev.

Story

Prerequisites for creation

In September 1906, Rear Admiral I.F. Bostrema received a mission to study the area of ​​the Northern Expanse and its coast, for laying and building a future base for the northern fleet. Having at its disposal a couple of armadillos. "Tsesarevich" and "Glory", he laid a route from the Baltic Sea, skirting Scandinavia, to the north, planning to explore and visit Catherine's harbor, Pechenga Bay and Teriberka.

Creation of the commission

In the summer of 1907, in dire need of actions to create a fleet, a special commission was urgently formed under the command of Captain 2nd Rank A.G. Butakov. The purpose of the commission was to more thoroughly study and select a place for the future basing of the fleet. The cruiser Almaz was chosen for this task. Having completed its mission in September 1907, the commission came to a number of difficulties and difficulties in resolving this issue, and the commission did not succeed in significantly approaching the goal. In particular, the Northern Sea Route was difficult to master, and no money was allocated for its study at that time. Only enthusiasts and rare scientists showed interest in this, which was not sufficient for a complete picture, the construction of a base in the North.

Possible places to build a base.

• Catherine harbor;
• Pechenga;
• bays of the Rybachy Peninsula;
• city ​​of Arkhangelsk.

War as the progress of the fleet

The creation of a fleet in the North was prompted by the First World War, which began on July 19, 1914, the largest powers, leaders, in the struggle for new territories, encroached on the integrity of Russia, new equipment appeared on the battlefield that had not previously performed in battles, these are aviation and underwater boats. At that time, Russia had a well-developed Baltic and Black Sea fleet, but the sea routes of communication on these seas were unsafe, since Russia was fighting the German fleet in the Baltic Sea, and on the Black Sea, Turkey, an ally of the Kaiser, did not loosen its grip. Also Russia had a Far Eastern Fleet, but it was inconvenient because it was located at a great distance, and convoys would have traveled this way for a very long time. And at that time, the Northern Fleet with its port of Arkhangelsk was the most convenient and safest.

But new weapons and battles have long crossed the borders of land, and they were deployed on a full scale on the water, the Germans had at their disposal submarines, ships, set up minefields, for confrontation and conducting a successful military campaign, the question arose of creating a strong fleet in the North, with their bases, and coastal defense. Before that, there was not a single warship in the North, only merchant ships.

At the beginning of 1916, the first special defense detachment in the North was formed (converted from merchant and fishing vessels.)

• cruiser "Kolguev";
• cruiser "Basil the Great";
• minesweeper "Vostok";
• hydrographic vessel "Khariton Laptev";
• minelayer "Ussuri".

With the introduction of a mine threat to ships and ships, between the Kola Bay and Arkhangelsk, it was necessary to create an intermediate base for the Northern Fleet to base ships and mine clearing trawls. Iokangskaya Bay was an ideal place for this, being on the approaches to the throat of the White Sea. On this occasion, the command developed a plan for the construction of the base in a short time, but due to the difficult situation of the war, this plan was not fully implemented, and the bay was used only for temporary parking. Not perceiving a real threat, and due to inaction, in the summer of 1915, merchant ships begin to blow up on German mines. Having promptly responded to the situation, the command creates a permanent trawling detachment, which was based in the port of Arkhangelsk, for a faster response, they were converted from merchant and fishing vessels.

Formation of the Arctic Ocean Flotilla

In July 1916, officially, by order of the naval department, the formation of the flotilla of the Arctic Ocean was announced. Initially, she was subordinated to Vice-Admiral A.P. Ugryumov, commander-in-chief of the city of Arkhangelsk and the White Sea region. In October of the same year, the position of commander of the flotilla was introduced, combined with the position of commander in chief, which was occupied by Vice Admiral L.F. Korovin (Kerber).

The flotilla to be created was to be:

• Detachment of cruisers and destroyers;
• Trawling division;
• Detachment of ships for the defense of the Kola Bay;
• a detachment of ships guarding the water area of ​​the Arkhangelsk port;
• Ships of the communications service;

The bases of the flotilla were planned:

• Arkhangelsk;
• Yokanga;
• Ekaterininskaya harbor in the Kola Bay.

Flotilla tasks:

• escorting merchant ships behind minesweepers through minefields;
• covering convoys from strikes by enemy light and auxiliary cruisers and submarines;
• protecting their ports and coasts.

Based on these tasks, as well as the flotilla's basing system and methods of its operations, the Naval General Staff proposed dividing the Northern Maritime Theater into three operational zones:

• the first zone included the southern part of the Barents Sea and extended from the Norwegian border to the meridian of Cape Svyatoi Nos.
• in the second - the throat of the White Sea entered, its border from the north passed along the line Svyatoy Nos - Kanin Nos, and from the south - along the line Soskovets Island - Cape Intsy.
• the third part - the White Sea together with the Dvina, Kandalaksha and Onega bays.

Although this plan of the naval general staff did not take into account the needs of the theater in naval forces, it was approved in February 1916, and the naval ministry began to deploy the flotilla. By this time, two formations of ships of the trawling party and a detachment of protection of the water area of ​​the Arkhangelsk port were already in the North.

Manning the flotilla: For the manning of the ship composition of the flotilla, it was decided to use mainly ships that were in the Far East, as well as Russian ships captured by the Japanese during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905.

1. squadron battleships "Poltava", "Peresvet" and the cruiser "Varyag" (In March 1916, the tsarist government purchased gold from Japan for 15 million rubles, which were sunk during the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905 and then raised from the bottom of the sea and repaired by the Japanese).
2. destroyers "Vlastny" and "Grozovoi" (arrived in the first half of 1916).
3. destroyers "Captain Yurasovsky", "Silent", "Lieutenant Sergeev" and "Fearless" (arrived in 1917).
4. submarine "Dolphin" (She was transported from Vladivostok to Arkhangelsk by rail).
5. submarine "St. George" (was bought in Italy).

The First World War showed with special persuasiveness the great importance of the Northern Sea Theater for Russia and the need to create a sufficiently strong navy here. It also became obvious that in polar conditions, not only surface ships, but also submarines, as well as all types of weapons, including mines, could be used for combat operations.

Birth of the Northern Fleet

On March 1, 1920, the White Sea Flotilla was formed at the Northern Maritime Theater after the expulsion of the interventionists and the White Guards from among the remaining ships and coastal units. On April 25, it is renamed the Naval Forces of the North Sea. The main core of these forces consisted of two destroyers "Captain Yurasovsky" and "Lieutenant Sergeev", a detachment of motor fighter boats, twelve minesweepers, the main tasks of the Naval Forces of the North Sea were to protect territorial waters, coasts and fisheries, minesweeping, lifting sunken ships, ensuring the safety of navigation in the North, conducting hydrographic surveys. However, the Soviet Republic failed to maintain the navy in the North. The incredibly difficult economic situation of the country forced the party and the government to go to a significant reduction in order to save money. In May 1922, a decision was made to disband the Naval Forces of the North Sea. Part of the ships, together with the personnel, transferred to the preserved maritime border guard and continued to carry out military service in the North.

• On June 1, 1933, a military flotilla was formed consisting of:

1. Command and headquarters of the flotilla.
2. Political department of the flotilla.
3. Murmansk military port.
4. Command and headquarters of the submarine division.
5. Submarines (2 ranks) "Decembrist" and "Narodovolets",
6. Destroyers (2 ranks) "Uritsky" and "Kuibyshev".
7. Patrol ships (2 ranks) "Hurricane" and "Smerch".

Directorates of the Murmansk sector and a separate artillery division of coastal defense. The flotilla was permanently based in Murmansk - Kola Bay In accordance with the order of the People's Commissar of Defense dated May 11, 1937, the flotilla was reorganized into the Northern Fleet.

On November 26, 1939, the government of the USSR sent a note of protest to the government of Finland about the artillery shelling, which, according to the Soviet side, was carried out from Finnish territory. Responsibility for the outbreak of hostilities was fully assigned to Finland. According to a number of historians, this offensive operation of the USSR against Finland belongs to the Second World War. The outbreak of hostilities led to the fact that in December 1939 the USSR, as an aggressor, was expelled from the League of Nations.

General tasks of the Northern Fleet in the war, Finland did not have a fleet. The main tasks were set for the Northern Fleet:

1. full fire support, land 14th army, to stand guard in the Kola and Motovsky bays, and not allow the enemy to break through in these sea directions;
2. to suppress and destroy the enemy landing, when trying to help or land, in particular, to protect the integrity of the maritime borders in the Murmansk direction.

the capture of the Sredny and Rybachy peninsulas On the same day, an order was received to capture and hold the Sredny and Rybachy peninsulas; for this, the command for a lightning-fast and swift capture created an offensive plan, where the army was divided into two parts:

The first group of troops - the main task, the offensive on the Sredny Peninsula, which was allocated the destroyer "Karl Liebknecht", to suppress sea and ground targets by fire;

The second group of troops - the main and shock group of troops, which will have to make an offensive on the Rybachy Peninsula, the Thunderstorm ship, two border guards and three ships for trawling, as well as for efficiency and confusion of the enemy, had aviation and detachments of submarines;

The 14th Army was ordered to go on the offensive and capture the western part of the Sredny and Rybachy peninsulas, which were on the flank of the front and controlled the entrance to the Kola Bay and the Pechenga Bay. The beginning of hostilities was marked by the destroyer "Karl Liebknecht", having fired at the camp of Pummanki and Maattivuono on the Sredny Peninsula, having completed the initial stage of the battle, according to the plan, went to the Motovsky Bay and took up the designated position to support the group of ground troops and protect from the sea. The naval support of the second group, deployed their ships along the peninsulas, to block support from the sea and provide support on land.

At 8:30 on November 30, the ships of the Northern Fleet opened suppressive fire from all guns on the enemy fortifications that had been explored in advance, and the troops of the 14th Army launched a large-scale offensive on the Sredny and Rybachy peninsulas. Thanks to the excellent cohesion of the fleet and the land army, by the end of the first day, the tasks of capturing the peninsulas were completed. And the command began to develop a strike on the port of Petsamo.

Capture of the ports of Linahamari and Petsamo

The 104th division of the 14th army was already fighting, when the ships of the fleet approached 14 o'clock to help, by the evening the ports were captured. The Red Army, in March, managed to drive the enemy to the Karelian Isthmus, where the main forces were defeated, which forced Finland to capitulate. Drawing up a peace treaty with Finland, the Sredny and Rybachy peninsulas retreat to the territory of the USSR, to which she, in response, undertook to withdraw troops from the country and, in particular, from the port of Petsamo, under the 1920 agreement.

The Great Patriotic War

The forces of the Northern Fleet at the beginning of World War II were:

1. a separate division of destroyers. (5 new ships of the "Thundering" type and 3 old type "Novik");
2. submarine brigade (15 large, medium and small boats);
3. connection of patrol ships (of the Thunderstorm type),
4. minesweeper connection,
5. connection of minelayers and patrol boats (MO-4 type) for the protection of the water area (OVR) of the main base of the fleet.

In addition to the "Polar" ships were based in Murmansk, Arkhangelsk and other ports.

Fleet Air Force

1. consisted of 116 aircraft - bombers, fighters and reconnaissance aircraft.

(Commander Major General of Aviation A. A. Kuznetsov)

Coastal and air defense consisted of several dozen batteries with a caliber of up to 180 mm. The fleet had bases, airfields and coastal defense units at all the most important points, and had an established surveillance and communications service.

The main task of the Northern Fleet during the war:

• support ground forces in the Murmansk direction;
• to protect the country's internal and external communications in the Arctic and disrupt the enemy's sea lanes along the coast of Northern Norway.

Creation of the Marine Corps in the Northern Fleet

The difficult situation on the land front forced the command of the Northern Fleet to urgently create new units and formations of the Marine Corps. During 1941, he formed a separate brigade, several regiments and battalions with a total strength of 10 thousand people.

One of the first Severomorians to go to the land front was Komsomol senior sergeant V.P. Kislyakov. In one of the battles in July 1941, he replaced the killed platoon commander, and the soldiers under his command successfully repelled the fierce attacks of superior enemy forces for several hours. In this battle, Soviet soldiers, led by Kislyakov, destroyed dozens of enemy soldiers. For the heroism shown in the fight against the Nazi invaders, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR awarded Vasily Pavlovich Kislyakov the high title of Hero of the Soviet Union.

The legendary feat of the Severomorian I. M. Sivko will forever remain in the memory of the Soviet people. On August 2, 1941, covering the retreat of his comrades, the fearless warrior staunchly defended an important height. When Sivko ran out of ammunition, the Nazis tried to capture him. Letting them get very close, the Red Navy sailor stood up to his full height and, with an exclamation, "The Russians do not surrender," blew up the last grenade. Having destroyed the enemies, the Severomorian died himself. Ivan Mikhailovich Sivko was posthumously awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union.
