The involvement of Italian saboteurs to the death of the battleship "Novorossiysk" is refuted

Italian saboteurs are not related to the death of the Soviet battleship "Novorossiysk" in 1955, leads RIA News Statement by the Chief Editor of the Bulletin of the Archive of the President of Russia, Sergei Kudryashov.

The documents of the presidential archive, published in the special issue, allow “to deal with many vulgar versions that are walking in the yellow press and the Internet, including the Italian version,

Kudryashov said, speaking in the Russian Historical Society.

According to this version, the battleship was blown up by Italian underwater saboteurs. Now "you can" say hello to the Italian submariners ", since Novorossiysk died due to lack of attention and lack of organization of the crew, he explained.

A rusty German mine exploded during the war. The crew did not notice her, and after the explosion was confused,

he noted, adding that one of the reasons for the death of the battleship was the crew’s confidence that the ship would not sink.

The agency recalls that the ship of the Soviet Black Sea fleet "Novorossiysk" until 1948 was part of the Italian Navy under the name "Giulio Cesare."

“The ship sank on the Sevastopol raid on October 29 1955, more than 800 people were killed. In Italy, they claimed that the Italian saboteurs sank the battleship - the former head of the 10 commando flotilla of assault vehicles, Prince Valerio Borghese, allegedly vowed revenge when the ship was handed over to the USSR, ”the material says.

The investigation of the incident involved a government commission. According to her report, it is most likely that a German mine exploded during the Great Patriotic War exploded under the battleship.

In Italy, Berlusconi is very likely to return to power - they decided to make a "barefoot fit", probably.

[Spartanez300]

How many more vulgar versions walk on various topics in the press, and again about this version we can say that this is nonsense. A whole battleship sank from a rusty mine and more than 800 people died, how can you get so confused

[Aristarkh Lyudvigovich]

The Black Sea Fleet is constantly losing ships in troubled circumstances. Two battleships, "Empress Maria" and "Novorossiysk" drowned directly in Sevastopol. Fire in Sevastopol on the BPC "Kerch", after which the ship can only be disposed of.

most likely a German mine exploded under a battleship

From the operational report on the state of the Novorossiysk LC at 04.00:31.10.55 p.m. on XNUMX:
“In the bow of the bottom in the region of 31--55 frames of a hole 21,6 m long, 5,5 meters wide, about 100 m2 in area (in fact, by later surveys, the area of ​​the hole will be set to 150-175 m2, and accepted in the documents - - 150 m - B. K) .Captures four compartments, including the 1st tower area. Burrs holes in the ship. The hole is located to the right of the keel. In the area of ​​43-45 frames, the keel is broken and the hole passes to the left of the keel 4 meters long , 1 meter wide.In the area of ​​damaged compartments in the bottom there are cracks and dents. In the area of ​​31-37 deck frames and the tank is lowered and torn out by burrs". see B.A. Karzhavin. The mystery of the death of the Novorossiysk battleship. Based on this discrepancy between the holes in the bottom and on the deck, some experts conclude that there is a second charge inside the battleship that detonated during the explosion of the first charge under the bottom in the region of 43-45 frames

So saboteurs are most likely

Battleship flood due to the explosion of ONE "rusty" mine and so quickly that 800 people died? They whom for idiots consider themselves or us?

[Per se.]

Quote: Monos

Do they consider themselves idiots, themselves or us?

Here I will repeat what has already been said. If we talk about fantastic hypotheses, then a completely fantastic hypothesis, this is the official version, an explosion on the old German ground mine. No less fantastic, absurd "revenge" of Italian combat swimmers, who, if they were to hate anyone, were the British who humiliated Italy and not the Russians. The battleship stood for several years in Malta, after the Italians surrendered the fleet, the British studied it quite well, and the Italians themselves knew it all the more well. When attacking the British battleships in Alexandria, explosives were laid under the powder magazine, and then, such an effect from external mines was not observed. "Novorossiysk" an explosion struck from the bottom, passing all the armor decks, before throwing the flame into the sky, this is not possible either with an external fastening to the bottom of the mine, or, especially, with an explosion of the bottom mine. In addition, during the examination of the bottom, two craters were discovered, one more, the other smaller, but even the largest crater could not have been an explosion at the bottom, due to the negligible depth of penetration, not corresponding to the power of the explosion. Later analyzes showed that such craters could remain only from explosions made under the ship’s hull, that is, much higher from the bottom. Finally, the main explosion itself occurred not in the water, but in the air, both in physics of the nature of the explosion and in the testimony of eyewitnesses who noted the strong smell of explosives in the explosion. The explosion on the battleship was out of the powder magazine, that is, even the ammunition was not detonated here. More Italian workers were warned about the possible mining of ours at the time of the transfer ... And the time was such that our allies in the anti-Hitler coalition were already on the other side of the barricade. Churchill’s speech in Fulton was already heard, and the Americans had plans for the atomic bombings of Soviet cities, the Cold War was gaining momentum and could well become hot. By the way, according to some sources, there were rumors that the “Novorossiysk”, which was preparing to leave the squadron in the Mediterranean, was loaded with “special charges”, shells of the main caliber with a nuclear charge. If there was a detonation of the powder cellars, a grandiose catastrophe could have happened in the bay of Sevastopol, be it really. As a result of the death of the flagship, our Black Sea Fleet remained in the base, Admiral Kuznetsov lost his post, scrapped the unfinished battlecruisers, as the surface fleet itself was trimmed by Nikita Khrushchev. It is possible that Crab, a famous British saboteur, was a participant in the installation of the main charge min-detonators under Novorossiysk, but this “gentleman” paid in Portsmouth Bay, under “Ordzhonikidze”, not all the Maslenitsa cat died down ... Most of the evidence and evidence was destroyed, since Khrushchev had been soaping to mend relations with the West, and high-ranking heads could still fly in the Soviet military leadership. Undermining the Khrushchev British after his visit to the cruiser, it would be a pity only a cruiser with a crew and scientists, important for the country, and not Nikita.

[Per se.]

Also, to the "revenge of the Italians." Penetrating into the main base of the Black Sea Fleet and undermining the flagship is not going to dive, but an operation at the level of NATO special forces, which only the United Kingdom could do then without the US sanction, and in no way Italy, and its brave veterans. But let it be so, why then the highly experienced Italians, especially those who knew the scheme of their former battleship well, did not place explosives in the most vulnerable places, as they did when attacking British battleships during World War II in Alexandria? All that the Italians were able to do then, they did, and they did not put the frailty under the gunpowder cellars, and put the battleships out of action for a long time. But, nothing like an explosion on the battleship Novorossiysk did not happen then in Alexandria. On our own ship, the explosion did not occur under the towers of the main caliber, and not even under the center of the ship, where it would be more logical to mount the charges, but in that part of the “patch nose” that was as close as possible to the artillery grabs. Two outdoor explosions were to detonate the main charge, which was already inside the battleship. The edges bent inside here are explained by the fact that, firstly, the internal explosion had the effect of a directional explosion, from bottom to top, and did not have a special effect on the character of the chipping from the detonator mine, and, secondly, water under enormous pressure bent into the hole even stronger inside. It was noted that the explosion was monstrous, no underwater saboteurs could have time to drag so much explosives. If we recall the subversion of the Japanese heavy cruiser by the Americans at the end of the war, they exploded explosives under the bottom of the Takao, but there were no such monstrous destructions as well, as there was no external explosion, but the Novorossiysk. Why did the mean "gentlemen" do it, the whole thing is in the Suez Canal, the Soviet strengthening of positions on the Mediterranean Sea, the rapprochement and support of the USSR to the course of Egypt’s independence from Britain. Naturally, I do not impose my point of view, and this and not only my opinion, there is a lot of evidence and conclusions that tend to the fact that the battleship Novorossiysk was undermined by the British, and the explosives were hidden in the labyrinths of the compartments of the USSR for reparations.

This version does not contradict the participation in the sabotage of Italian combat swimmers.
The explosives inside the battleship could have been planted by the British, but also by Italians.
A group of Italian combat swimmers received awards exactly after the sinking of Novorossiysk, there were no other reasons for awarding at that time. Italians could use within the framework of NATO, until 1956, Americans, British and Germans sent armed gangs of saboteurs to the USSR. Sabotage in Sevastopol fits perfectly into this tactic.

Mina also seems unlikely because the explosion occurred under a battleship that did not have a course. Let the supporters of the mine version report the type of bottom mine detonator that can fire on a moored ship.

I agree, but here we must immediately emphasize that they should have been brought in as executors or accomplices, and not as "old brigands", with a ridiculous legend of revenge that covered customers. Performers or sabotage assistants could have been located in the Crimea, where the Germans left an agent network inherited by the Anglo-Saxons. In the diagram, the nose of the battleship, where you can see the old, "dreadnought" nose, and a new tip welded on top of it, after the pre-war modernization. In the voids between these nasal extremities and was hidden explosives, with which the battleship was transferred to the USSR in the year 1949. The “gift” was waiting for its time, which came in the fall of 1955 of the year ... If they found the explosive, everything would have been blamed on the Italian avengers-fanatics, the former owners of the battleship. Also, the explosion during the transition in the USSR, if it was carried out, could be blamed on both the Italian fascists themselves and the collision with an old mine drifting into the sea.

I agree. It is clear that the Italians are not initiators. But when they were involved in the operation, the theme of revenge was to be an additional argument and an incentive why italians were entrusted with such a “great honor”. A kind of cherry on the cake. Well, the motive of the "extreme", which could be pointed with your finger if something went wrong, was also present. Like, a kind of unrepentant Nazi avengers, for whom no one in NATO is at all responsible.

A hole of 150 square meters in a metal with a thickness of 15 ... 16 mm, can you tell me how much explosives are needed for such a hole?
This is precisely the bottom mine with its tonne of TNT equivalent and taking into account the shallow depths it is just more like the truth.

And yes, conclusions are drawn from facts, not speculation.
The main fact is the inaction of the crew. So this is the Black Sea. The explosion rises a terribly poisonous and explosive gas. And the Germans owned this technique. Like ours. One can not argue about the actions of the captain - since the explosion doubled, only those who managed to get out of the gas cloud and did not get poisoned were saved.
In the gas mixture, hydrogen sulfide, sulfur oxide and oxide and sulfuric anhydride. There are more interesting compounds, variably.

Exactly, somehow I can’t believe that the battleship with a displacement of almost 29 thousand tons drowned from an old mine ...
Here is an analysis of the possible causes of the death of Novorossiysk :(http://army.armor.kiev.ua/engenear/mormine-BM-a.s
html):

GENERAL CONCLUSION. Thus, it becomes clear that a BM 1000 mine with any explosive device could not explode under a battleship on the night of October 29, even if we made a fantastic assumption that the batteries were operational and operational. The ship stood still, its cars did not work and the screws stood. No ships sailed near the battleship at night. Mines of this type were not equipped with any mechanisms that work simply after a lapse of time.

[KVU-NSVD]

probably decided to do a barefoot fit.

Maybe so, and the debate about the causes of death is eternal, like the Americans on the moon - at least there are as many well-grounded questions for the official version .. Rest in peace, sailors ...

The investigation of the incident involved a government commission. According to her report, it is most likely that a German mine exploded during the Great Patriotic War exploded under the battleship.

They did not see the mine and did not believe that she would drown them.

With the discovery of mines in the Sevastopol Bay, everything is really not very good. Trawled, trawled, searched, searched, opened the bay - and still continue to find mines. EMNIP, the last German bottom mine (at the moment) was destroyed in June 2017.
And mines come across quite alive. In 2004, three wise men tried to make out the mine they found. The trap worked - 2 corpses.

On Monday, January 26, private entrepreneur Kalchuk and his two assistants were diving in Kamyshovaya Bay and found a large metal cylinder at the bottom of the sea. Divers lifted him ashore.
Subsequently, they transported the find to the area of ​​Krasnaya Gorka and unloaded it on a site near the private house of the entrepreneur Kalchuk on 9 Caspian Street.
On Saturday evening, at half-past five, the brigade gathered outside the house to make out the find. When trying to dismantle individual parts of the subject, an explosion occurred, as a result of which two were killed, the third was seriously injured.

And about the "did not believe" ... a lot of bosses arrived to save LK, but there were too few willing to take responsibility. In addition, EMNIP, a fairly old ship already had problems with the water resistance of the bulkheads.

[Curious]

Well, and how does this news differ from publications in the yellow press? Are there any documents, new facts? It is unclear what this message is for.

[Svarog51]

The investigation was conducted by a government commission. According to her report, most likelythat a German mine, delivered during the Great Patriotic War, exploded under a battleship.

Well, where is the refutation? The allegations that the German mine was pulled are not observed here. From the word at all.

[senima56]

That's interesting: How could the crew (!!!) notice a "rusty bottom mine"? The author of the article how does this imagine? Then the "crew was bewildered" !? The crew must be led! And give the crew the necessary, timely, understandable commands! If gentlemen, admirals once again, "about .... fallen"! No need to blame the crew, which, for some reason, did not notice a rusty German mine at the bottom of the bay!

[kuz363]

Does the editor-in-chief question the recognition of the operation participants themselves? Then cool. How many times after the war did they trawl this bay! And how many ships went through the mine. But for some reason, everything so suspiciously coincided with a former Italian ship.

[Monster_Fat]

"Rusty mine" the author actually imagines, "what" mine was accused of the death of a battleship? He probably thinks that it was something spherical, with "horns" and on the minrep, but in fact the bottom mine was accused with a case for explosives in the form of a box, moreover, from wood, with devices that were at the top of the mine box in a special hemispherical capsule forms — moreover, the shape of the recess in charge for this capsule contributes to some cumulative effect.

[Blue fox]

I do not believe. The most interesting study for me at one time was read by Veremeyev, who was deeply respected by me, who, together with the consultants, worked on specific calculations about the possibilities of detonating Novorossiysk in a German bottom mine during the war.

2. The team was drowned openly intentionally for several hours so that there were fewer witnesses and it was not the Italians or the British.
3. Our intelligence services were investigating, and they obviously weren’t fools so that they could not establish the cause.
4. The consequences of the explosion were not in foreign policy, but in domestic: I completely agree with

Internal Explosion - Outward Structures

I have already said above, it was not just an internal explosion, but a directional explosion, resulting from the laying of explosives between the old and the new nasal tip of the battleship.

Two outdoor explosions were to detonate the main charge, which was already inside the battleship. The edges bent inside here are explained by the fact that, firstly, the internal explosion had the effect of a directional explosion, from bottom to top, and did not have a special effect on the character of the chipping from the detonator mine, and, secondly, water under enormous pressure bent into the hole even stronger inside.

Sergey, in my context, it is primarily about an internal explosion, and not about internal politics. The fact that Khrushchev took advantage of the situation is another matter, but the version of the involvement of our intelligence services in undermining their own warship, the flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, that was preparing with a squadron to enter the Mediterranean Sea, is absurd. Khrushchev did not need to displace Kuznetsov something, like setting fire to the Reichstag, or monstrous and stupid in execution, a show with twin towers destroyed by an industrial explosion, not kamikaze planes ... The murder of our sailors on the conscience of Western "partners", and indirectly, their own high leadership, overlooked sabotage. The bottom mine is, like, “he drowned,” a convenient otmaz, to save his own posts and the desire for rapprochement with the West with Khrushchev. The battleship killed 29 on October 1955, and in the spring of 1956, Khrushchev will visit England on the cruiser Ordzhonikidze, where the scandal with the underwater saboteur, which received publicity, will occur.

[sigdoc]

The West "draws closer" only to those who are ready to cause significant harm to their country for the sake of "partners". Novorossiysk is primarily a demonstration the possibilities and "serious intentions" of the new Soviet elite to destroy and plunder the country. What do you think Khrushchev discussed with the British?
Moreover, Novorossiysk is a trifle in comparison with other Khrushchev's feats:

[kan123]

It is clear that walking on the beach in a closed city, saboteurs who swim at night and screw mines, this is nonsense. But the mine, too - delirium, - "old, rusty" - who saw it this mine? Laid down when they handed over, and the ship was handed over by the Americans who are in comp. wars with the USSR, and somehow intensified - you cannot destroy a ship in one mine, you need several "old rusty mines" that burst simultaneously in the right places of the hull. This "old rusty" floated there over the bay for years, the children rode on it, the fishermen ganged at it. Eternal enemies, the Americans, with their "gifts" did it.

[serg.shishkov2015]

I did not believe in this nonsense from the very beginning! a few years after the end of the war, break through into a protected enemy port in order to drown the modernized pelvis of the PMV, Why ??? !! HONOR?? Surrender in whole divisions in Stalingrad and squadrons in the Mediterranean, so honor allowed? and then it could have been easier done in the process of transferring the battleship to us, The road is long, you never know what could happen

[dDYHA]

The charges were laid before the transfer of Caesar to the USSR. Most likely the British. At one time, there was a conversation that the midshipman, upon acceptance, drew attention to the fresh paint on the bulkheads just in the place where the explosion occurred. This version was quickly hushed up. And since they quickly hushed up, that means the most faithful version. And the charge was with a clock or other timer. It was possible it was attached both inside and outside the case. By the way, was he examined from the outside during the transfer? And the fact that they were laid correctly and the time was calculated up to an hour. Says the fact that the ship was destroyed.

[M. Michelson]

There is a version that the main charge was without a timer, and at the right moment a small mine detonator was attached from the outside. Reasonable IMHO.

[tank64rus]

Well, how did the black prince borghese decide to refute. You can see the wind blew from the other side.

[Wolka]

who will believe this, well, you can’t do that, not only ordinary people read VO ...

[Catfish]

Interestingly, how could this crew have noticed the "old rusty German" mine? Did they carefully look down from the side of the battleship, or did they dive right from the side and check on foot under the bottom? The crew went about their business - carried the service. A check of the hulls of ships, especially those departing on a long voyage, was always carried out by special fleet services. And it’s not shameful to carry such nonsense (about a rusty mine and a dumb carriage) to a person who, according to his position, would seem to know what he is talking about.

Here, the guys wrote a lot correctly and the versions are very sensible. I just remembered that I read with Nikolai Cherkashin in one of his books about a visit to the museum of the submarine fleet by our sailors. Either in La Spezia ... or somewhere else ... I don’t remember exactly. So, there, in one big hall, ONLY two pictures hang opposite each other: on one there are two combat swimmers riding on a carrier, and on the contrary Cesare, in full swing. There is nothing more there, only these two paintings and lists of the dead Italian submariners. That's what you want, so consider it.

[bovamsk]

My father was the commander of the hydrographic ship Delta, which was part of the Black Sea Fleet.
According to his stories, the explosion was of such a force that he and his mother woke up, thought an air raid. After about 20 minutes, a messenger came running and his father went on alarm to his ship.
Subsequently, he took a practical part in the work of the state commission on the death of Novorossiysk. What I remember from his words:
1. there was enough time and technical ability to start the car, back up and put the ship aground, the rudders and propellers would fly, but Novorossiysk would land and not roll over. None of the new arrivals took this responsibility.
2. A dozen experiments were carried out - various types of mines were blown up under manufactured shields imitating the hull of a ship. None of them left the destruction that was in reality.
3. for another day, divers heard a knock in the hull of an overturned and sunken ship.

Editor-in-chief of the Bulletin of the Archive of the President of Russia Sergei Kudryashov.

. Very clearly describes the personnel policy and the state of the personnel reserve of our guarantor. There have been many publications on this topic. Yes, there are conclusions of the state commission about the detonation of a mine and not rust at all, quite powerful about a ton in equivalent, buried in silt (the bottom in the bay is very muddy), but eroded for various reasons. This is a very convenient version. But in the Navy, the version is leaning toward saboteurs. There is a lot of indirect evidence for this. And the rewarding of Italian swimmers, and the establishment of a permanent network fence at the entrance to the Sevastopol Bay and the display of fighting dolphins after the disaster, which was not done before. A large number of victims is no longer from the explosion, but from the organization of the rescue operation and not competent leadership of it. The ship stood on barrels on the beam of the hospital, and there was a proposal to push it aground, but the leadership was obsessed with the struggle for the survivability of the ship, as a result, Novorossiysk turned over and people were blocked. The editor of the presidential archive could not have known this, so making such a statement he is simply a hypocrite, ridiculous and stupid.
