The British flag in the capital of Russian Lapland will not be hoisted!

23 August 1854, the British tried to seize the ancient city of Kola, but were repulsed by the disabled team and local residents

The fighting of the Crimean War, despite the local name, had a large-scale character and unfolded in the Caucasus, on the Danube, on the Azov, Black, Baltic, White and Barents Seas, on Kamchatka and the Kuriles.

In the north, in the waters of the Barents and White Seas, the British took a number of measures to destroy Russian shipping and coastal fortifications. English ships raided the White Sea coast and intercepted Russian merchant ships. "Civilized" Royal Sailors fleet retrained as corsairs: robbed merchant ships and the local population, broke and burned Orthodox churches, peasant houses and outbuildings; the spoils that they could not carry with them were spoiled and broken.

In July 1854, the British bombarded Kandalaksha and the Solovetsky Monastery, ravaged the Holy Monastery on Kiy Island and the Pomeranian villages of Puslakhta, Keret and Kovda.

9 (21) August one of the members of the predatory expedition screw corvette "Miranda" under the command of captain Edmond Lyons embarked on a raid near the small port town of Cola. In Russian sources, the first mention of this city dates back to 1264.

During the Northern War, the Swedes tried to capture the Kola fortress, and during the Anglo-Russian war of 1807-1812, the British ravaged the city. They returned to Coke again after 45 years.

Captain Lyons, having sent his representatives to Kolya on the boat, demanded "an immediate and unconditional surrender of the fortifications, the garrison and the city of Cola with all the shells, tools and ammunition and all items belonging to the Russian government."

Lieutenant Brunner, adjutant of the Arkhangelsk Governor, who was at that moment in Kohl, refused. There was a 50 disabled team in the city and a local police unit under the command of the mayor Shishelev, who had experience in combat battles in the distant 1812 year.

In July 1854, the British bombarded Kandalaksha and the Solovetsky Monastery, ravaged the Holy Monastery on Kiy Island and the Pomeranian villages of Puslakhta, Keret and Kovda.

What's so little? About the "Crimean War" in the North is in the book by G.G. Frumenkov. "The Solovetsky Monastery and the Defense of the White Sea". § 3. The battle at Pushlakhta and Kola
Courage of peasants and townspeople As already noted, on the evening of July 7, after the unsuccessful baptism of fire, the Brisk and Miranda anchored near the Solovetsky coast. At 7 o’clock in the morning of the next day, the ships, having divorced the pairs, took off and began to slowly move away.
Approaching the Big Zayatsky island, which is one and a half kilometers from Solovetsky, the frigates fired at him and, having not received an answer, were so brave that they landed on the shore. The enemy decided to take revenge for the defeat at the monastery and gave full freedom to his soldier. The sailors of the European power, boasting of its achievements in cultural life, chopped with an ax the doors of the wooden St. Andrew’s Church, which was built, as was noted, on the desert island on the occasion of his visit by Peter I, burst into the temple, broke a mug of poor wealth in it, scattered copper money on the floor, stolen three bells of 14 pounds each and several small silver items. [370] That actually exhausted the "feats of arms" of the British on Zayatsky Island in 1854. Two old men who guarded the church and made up the entire population of the island were witnesses to the sacrilege of "civilized" robbers. Hiding in the crevice of the rock, they saw everything that was happening. After that, the frigates left the monastery waters, although not for long.
This is one of the episodes of paragraph 3. Book by reference. https://royallib.com/book/frumenkov_georgiy/solov

"... The revolution has a beginning, the revolution has no end ..." From the song ....
I just "dispersed" to read about an unfamiliar page in the military history of Russia ... And clap, forehead against the wall ...

A strange way to feed material. Where is the second half of the article? Or is it like a kind of coloring, is there a contour, then paint it yourself?
The population of the city at that time was 754 people.
The small garrison of Cola was commanded by the adjutant of the Arkhangelsk governor Brunner. He had a disabled team of 70 people and several hundred volunteers. Brunner answered the British, according to the unanimous desire of his detachment, with a categorical refusal. The inhabitants of Kola announced to him that they would sacrifice all their property and their lives, but in no case would they give up.

At three o’clock in the morning from August 10 (22) to August 11 (23), an English steamboat launched a bombardment of Cola and raided the city with bombs, grenades, red-hot nuclei and incendiary bullets. The city caught fire from all over and burned almost the whole. The bombardment was fierce and lasted 28½ hours.

Here is what was reported from the scene to St. Petersburg: “The enemy attempted several times to land, sending barges with armed people to the shore, but each time he was repelled by Lieutenant Brunner with 50 people from the Kola Wheelchair Team, with the help of armed residents. During the battle, which was resumed on the 12th, about 110 houses, 2 churches, of which one was a stone, a bread and salt shops, were opened by intensified enemy fire, and now in the city of Kola there are only 18 houses left for food and bread for 2 months; there were no killed or wounded on our part, but one was shell-shocked and 2 people were injured. ”
The city of Kola temporarily ceased to exist. More English ships did not appear.

The Resurrection Cathedral was a unique architectural structure. Especially in the conditions of the Arctic (weather, limited working period, deficit of timber)

I agree with you. If the defense of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky can be considered as the defense of one object or geographical point, then the defense of the White Sea region should be considered as a whole, because the hostilities took place throughout the White Sea Theater for one period of time. This is the defense of Kola and the defense of Solovki and an attempt to block Arkhangelsk and the violation of Russian economic activity in Pomerania.

I don’t think it’s hard to talk about solving some strategic problems, rather, experience was gained for what would later be called the “gunboat policy”.

About the "Crimean War" in the North is in the book of G.G. Frumenkov. “The Solovetsky Monastery and the defense of the White Sea.” § 3. The battle at Puslakhta and Kola.
In principle, this book is not an art story, but a serious scientific study, with links to archival documents, so there is something to rely on. And so you are right that the defense of Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky and the defense of De Kastri Bay in the Far East, that the defense of the White Sea in the Crimean War have many white spots. Even the alloys of the Cossacks according to the Amur and as N.N., Muravyov agreed with the Chinese that they would allow these alloys, a lot is unclear.

Curios, you as always gave a good koment. I did not understand: what was the number of Broker's team: “he had an invalid team of 70 people,” and then: “we reflect Lieutenant Browner with 50 people.” How many were there after all: 50-70 people and a disabled team, military veterans?

[Curious]

In most sources, which I watched, figure 50 appears.
"It was carried out by the garrison (a disabled team of 50 soldiers and 3 non-commissioned officers) and residents organized by Leith. A. Brunner in the self-defense unit (total of about 100 people), at the disposal of the cat. Military governor R. P. Boyle allocated 100 flintlock guns with gunpowder and lead, which delivered the cap. Pushkarev installed a 6-pound cannon found in Kohl on a makeshift machine. In preparation for repelling the attack, “small log and earthen blockages” were built to shelter the shooters and a parapet for the cannon; the defenders were divided into small detachments, a defense section was assigned to each cat. It was supposed to build a fortification on the Cape of Spruce, but they did not have time to do this. "
But there are also 70 (http://old.mvestnik.ru/shwpgn.asp?pid=2004081736
4). Since I used different sources, I got a discrepancy.
Here, let's say, my fault. Most are inclined to the number 50.

No, I looked at the link, although the original does not shine with solidity, but still brought to the end. Just the one who copied to the site did not transfer the entire article. It can be seen the children of admins are on duty today.

With the history of the Kola Peninsula (until the 20th century) it is generally difficult to claim solidity. I can be proud of my small homeland as much as I like, but her annals are poor in events.

[Severok]

The annals of the Kola land are not poor in events, but poor in researchers of past years.

I would clarify: "Fursenko’s students tobish EGEshniki"
By the way about the Bologna system: even when they started to introduce it, I asked experienced teachers about the exam and there were different opinions. Recently, the new Minister of Education, conducted an unofficial questionnaire about the exam, and as I whispered, opinions were divided: 38-40 against, up to 38% "for", and the rest do not care.

[3x3zsave]

Just today I saw an excerpt from the tasks of the exam in history:
"When did the battle of Prokhorovka happen?
Variants of answers:
a) in the 20th century
b) in 1943
c) during the Second World War
d) during WWII "
What is it ?!

I don’t know where you found this poop, but:
- the network is full of exams on the exam
- try to solve the physical education, just for fun
- while I was deciding, I remembered my whole school (I finished 10th grade in 1979, if. And not a laps )
- not everything is there as simple as the newspaper men want to introduce you.

I'm exactly about it, if that

[3x3zsave]

1. I am not a scavenger, although I respect the people of this profession!
2. Found in the same place where you are.
3. I do not get information about the USE from the media, but first-hand (my wife teaches math in college)
4. I also decided, from the Gushchinsk site (it did not matter)
5. Excuse me, did you decide part B or part C?
6. You decide and decide - honor and praise to you! This once again proves that the Soviet system provided EDUCATION, and the current one is training to pass the exam.
7. To the question “it’s not so simple,” how do you explain the traditionally high rates of graduates from the North Caucasus?

[Curious]

The Bologna agreement relates to higher education and has no relation to the exam.

[Monarchist]

Fursenko, when he started this nonsense, used this expression. The media often sounds.
Personally, I have these mystics to one place. I studied at a normal school and it is closer and more understandable to me.
