  • MediaDB / «Warrior under the St. Andrew's flag" Pavel Voinovich: download fb2, read online

    About the book: 2011 / Having entered the Russian Navy as a midshipman, he rose to the rank of full admiral. The main pier of Sevastopol and the central street of the city of Herceg Novi (Montenegro), where he was born, are named in his honor. Marko Voinovich was the captain of the imperial yacht in St. Petersburg and led a secret mission to Persia; Having only 2 battleships against 15 Turkish ones, he won a glorious victory at Fidonisi Island and is rightfully considered one of the founders of the Black Sea Fleet. In memory of the frigate “Glory”, on which he heroically fought in the Archipelago, earning the Order of St. George, many ships of the Russian fleet are named, but Admiral Voinovich himself was slandered, slandered and slandered by Soviet propaganda - since the time of the “fight against cosmopolitanism” it has been accepted about him respond extremely negatively, often neglecting basic decency. The reason for this was the conflict between Voinovich and Fyodor Ushakov - at first they were friends, then they quarreled, but is it possible to judge a naval commander by the complaints and denunciations of his ill-wishers? This book restores justice, for the first time paying tribute to one of the legendary "Catherine's eagles", a warrior at St. Andrew's a flag that glorified his native Montenegro, Serbia, and Russia, which became a second homeland for Marko Ivanovich Voinovich and which he served with honor all his life.
