How the Baltic Fleet was rescued from the Germans

70
In February 1918, the Baltic ships were evacuated in the port of Revel (now Tallinn, the capital of Estonia) fleet. Despite the difficult weather conditions, they faced a serious task - to relocate to Kronstadt. Thus began the famous Ice Campaign of the Baltic Fleet.





Before we talk about the campaign itself, it is necessary to elaborate in more detail on what the Baltic fleet was in 1918. It consisted of 7 battleships, 9 cruisers, 26 submarines, 62 destroyer squadrons, as well as more 450 ships and ships of various classes and purposes. The main naval base of the Baltic Fleet of Russia was Helsingfors (now Helskinki, the capital of Finland). It was here that the main forces of the Baltic Fleet were stationed. Another major naval base was Revel, where 5 cruisers, 17 submarines and a number of other ships were based. Some ships and vessels, especially of the fleet support, were located in the Ganges (Hanko) and Abo (Turku).

The main reason that prompted the command to transfer ships from Revel to Kronstadt was the continuing offensive of the German troops in Estonia. Germany, having broken the peace negotiations, was advancing in the Baltic States, therefore, the Baltic Fleet ships that were in the roadstead in Reval were threatened by the Germans. Therefore, it was decided to relocate the ships, but because of the ice it was not possible to carry out an operation to transfer ships directly to Kronstadt. It was necessary first to transfer the ships to another Russian port - Helsingfors (now - Helsinki).

How the Baltic Fleet was rescued from the Germans


From December 1917, the Central Fleet Central Committee of the Baltic Fleet, which represented the interests of sailors, managed the Russian fleet stationed in the Baltic Sea. Established in March 1917, after the October Revolution and the subsequent abolition of the post of commander of the Baltic Fleet, Tsentrobalt became the only body that concentrated in its person all the management of the daily activities of the fleet. The chairman of Tsentrobalt was the famous Pavel Dybenko. However, for all his personal courage, Dybenko clearly did not have enough knowledge to carry out full-fledged fleet management. The same was true of his closest associates - members of Tsentrobalt.

A serious problem of the fleet to the beginning of 1918 was the extremely low level of discipline of the personnel. Baltic sailors were known for their anarchic moods and even subordinate to the Soviet authorities, what to speak of former officers of the old fleet. Meanwhile, without the latter, it was also impossible to manage the fleet, because the sailors, even the most competent and educated, lacked the special knowledge that officers had been taught at naval schools for many years and which they had been improving for years if not decades. . Therefore, naval officers, specialists, who actually carried out the actual command of the ships and subunits of the Baltic Fleet, were involved in fleet management.

In January, 1918 was appointed to assist Pavel Dybenko as Alexey Mikhaylovich Shchastny (1881-1918), a personnel naval officer who served in the “old” navy to the rank of captain of 1 rank and position of flag-captain for the administrative part. Headquarters of the Baltic Fleet Commander. Now, a century after the Ice Campaign, we can with good reason admire this man. A graduate of the Marine Corps, second in academic status, Shchastny began serving as a midshipman in 1901, sixteen years before the revolution. He was promoted from officer of a gunboat coast defense officer, watch officer of gunboats, battleships and cruisers to the commander of a destroyer.

In the first decade of his service, Schastny’s career was difficult to call dizzy - he received the rank of lieutenant in the 1905 year, by which time he had already distinguished himself in the Russian-Japanese war (as commanders and colleagues recalled). In the same 1905 year, he became the commander of the destroyer No. 217, then served as a teacher in the Mine Officer Class, receiving the rank of senior lieutenant in 1910.

Only in 1913, did Shchastny, who by that time served as a permanent member of the Maritime Ministry of the Interdepartmental Radio Telegraph Committee, was promoted to the rank of captain 2. In 1916-1917 he commanded the Border Guard squadron. The rank of captain 1 of rank Shchastny was received after the February revolution, in July 1917 of the year, when he held the position of flag captain of the headquarters of the Baltic Sea Fleet Commander.

17 February 1918, the Board of the Maritime Commissariat sent a directive to Tsentrobalt on the withdrawal of ships from Reval. Shchastny assumed the direct leadership of the operation.

Since the situation was complicated by the presence of ice on the Baltic Sea, it was decided to send icebreakers to Revel, which were to pave the way for ships leaving Reval. A detachment of icebreakers headed the world's first Arctic-class icebreaker "Yermak". 19 February 1918, the icebreaker Volynets brought in tow the 3 raid submarines, and 22 February, February 1918, began the general evacuation of ships. Following the icebreaker Ermak, the ships headed for Helsingfors. The first group of ships of the fleet includes 2 submarines and 2 transport ships.



Already on February 24, a German detachment attempted to break through to Revel, attacking coastal batteries located on the islands of Wulf and Nargen. But under the blows of batteries, the German squad was still forced to retreat. The operation to rescue the Russian ships continued and ended with the redeployment of 236 ships and vessels. In the meantime, 3 March 1918 was concluded the Brest Peace with Germany. According to the conditions of the Brest Peace, Russia was to withdraw all its warships from the ports of Finland, that is, from Helsingfors. At the same time, to remain on ships until the final withdrawal could, according to the terms of the treaty, only minor commands, which in the event of an attack by the Germans, could not offer them resistance.

Two days after the conclusion of the Brest Peace Treaty, 5 March 1918, the German ships approached the Aland Islands, located at a strategic point. There was a real threat of German and Finnish troops seizing the Russian ships stationed in Helsingfors. The fleet was faced with the “second series” of the Ice Campaign - this time the ships had to be withdrawn from Helsingfors to Kronstadt. Alexey Shchastny was again appointed to command this operation, who, moreover, already had experience in the withdrawal of ships from Reval. Shchastny acted in the same way. First 12 March 1918, two icebreakers launched four battleships and three cruisers from Helsingfors. The ships arrived in Kronstadt in five days, March 17 1918.

While the first ships of the evacuated Russian fleet were sailing from Helsingfors to Kronstadt, 12 in March 1918 was introduced a new post of Chief of the Naval Forces of the Baltic Sea. They appointed a personnel naval officer to Rear Admiral Alexander Vladimirovich Razvozov, who received the admiral rank already under the Provisional Government, being the commander of the Baltic Fleet, and before the February Revolution 1917, who commanded the 2 battalion of destroyer destroyers. However, Razvozov did not work well together with the management of Tsentrobalt - already on March 20 of 1918, he was dismissed for refusing to obey the Maritime Commissariat. Instead, the long-awaited promotion was received by Shchastny, appointed by the new head of the Baltic Sea Naval Forces.

Meanwhile, 3 on April 1918, the landing of German troops began on the Hanko Peninsula. 7 April Germans landed in the area of ​​Loviisa. So in Finland, right away, there were thousands of German soldiers before 15, which constituted a great threat to the Russian ships stationed there. In a changed situation, Shchastny was forced to withdraw ships literally at the risk of a German attack.

4 April 1918, the second detachment of ships, which included the 2 battleship, 2 cruisers and 2 submarines, left Helsingfors and six days later, 10 April, arrived in Kronstadt port. There was an equally challenging and difficult task - to withdraw from the Finnish port the third, most numerous detachment of ships, which included 45 destroyers, 3 destroyer, 10 submarines, 5 minelayers, 6 minesweepers, 11 patrol ships and 81 auxiliary ship. From 7 to 11 on April 1918, these ships were also withdrawn from Helsingfors. 11 April 1918, Helsingfors, which was already stormed by German troops, was left by the Chief of the Naval Forces of the Baltic Fleet Shchastny. 14 April 1918 of the year Helsingfors was taken by the Germans, but by this time the vast majority of Russian ships from the Finnish port had already been withdrawn. And this is despite the fact that the lack of crew on many ships reached 70%, for example, the Troop destroyer "Voyiskovoy" took out the entire 4 officer and 8 sailors.

The ice campaign of the Baltic Fleet became a unique example of the evacuation of warships in difficult climatic and military conditions. Despite the fact that the ships were marching on the ice, following the icebreakers, and Helsingfors were already besieged by the Germans, Shchastny was able to conduct a full hike without losing ships. And this despite the fact that the discipline in the Baltic Fleet in 1918 left much to be desired.

Many revolutionary sailors, who were in a state of euphoria from revolutionary events, absolutely did not want to observe military discipline and obey the instructions of the command. Shchastny was an exception. The way he commanded the fleet raised respect for the capable officer in the naval environment. Shchastny sympathized even with revolutionary sailors. It seemed that after the heroic Ice Camp such a person as Shchastny was supposed to receive an award from the young Soviet government - after all, he managed to save almost the entire Baltic Fleet for Soviet Russia. But the opposite happened - already 27 of May 1918, when the Ice Camp was just over, Alexey Shchastny was arrested by the Chekists.

It is now known that the personal commissioner for the arrest of Shchastny was given by the people's commissar of Russia for military and naval affairs Leon Trotsky. Shchastnogo was accused of counter-revolutionary actions and deepening the contradictions between the Soviet government and the fleet. It is noteworthy that the success in the Ice Campaign was regarded by Trotsky as the special actions of Shchastny to increase his authority among the sailors. Shchastny was also remembered for the fact that he allegedly accused the Soviet authorities of almost deliberately trying to hand over the Baltic ships to the German command. It is possible that this was indeed the case - Leon Trotsky was suspected that he was going to "surrender" the ships stationed in Revel and Helsingfors to the Germans. About the true plans of the Commissar Trotsky practically nothing is known today. Who knows, it may indeed have been between Trotsky and the representatives of Germany that there was an agreement on the surrender of the fleet.

They tried to defend Shchastny with the left Social Revolutionaries, who had great influence on the revolutionary sailors of the Baltic Fleet. But even their efforts were unsuccessful. 13 June 1918, the death penalty was revived in Russia, and 21 June 1918 was sentenced to death by Alexey Shchastny. This was the first death sentence imposed by the Soviet revolutionary tribunal. So Trotsky thanked the remarkable commander for the withdrawal of the Russian ships from Revel and Helsingfors. Shot Shchastny 22 June 1918 of the year in 4 hours 40 minutes. He was only 37 years old. Despite the fact that Shchastny was executed on the personal order of Trotsky, in subsequent years, even after Trotsky was declared an enemy of the people, the former chief of the Baltic Sea Naval Forces chose not to mention.

It was only in 1990 that they again started talking about the contribution Shchyadny made to saving the Baltic Fleet. The first to mention this was a military judge, Colonel of Justice Vyacheslav Zvyagintsev, who published in the newspaper Izvestia an article about the contribution of Alexei Mikhailovich Schastny to saving the Baltic Fleet from the Germans. In it, the military lawyer doubted that Shchastny really was guilty of counter-revolutionary agitation in the navy. But the rehabilitation process of Alexey Shchastnogo was delayed. In particular, he was opposed by some famous historians of the Soviet Navy, for whom such an approach was a “breaking stereotype”. Only in the 1995 year, almost eighty years after the execution, was Alexey Mikhailovich Schastny rehabilitated posthumously.

    Not thanks - but contrary to
    The guys wedged in a conspiracy of the new masters of Russia with the German imperialists
    And that is why
    June 21, 1918 Alexei Schastny was sentenced to death. This was the first death sentence imposed by a Soviet revolutionary tribunal.

    The main thing - the fleet core was saved, and it was very important

          Learn the materiel, order No. 1 was issued by the Petrograd Soviet back in March 1917, when the Bolsheviks were nobody and called them nothing. The order was issued for the Petrograd garrison, but somehow quickly (probably by accident :)) its effect was extended to the entire army. And this was done at the direction of Kerensky. The original exists, it can be seen in the storerooms of the museum of the revolution, if you have access.

            This order was actively used by all parties that tried to seize the army, including the Bolsheviks. As a result, they collapsed.
            Our army was still falling apart for almost a year and was trying to advance.

    On June 13, 1918, the death penalty was revived in Russia, and on June 21, 1918, Alexei Shchastnogo sentenced to death. This was the first death sentence imposed by a Soviet revolutionary tribunal. So Trotsky thanked wonderful commander for the withdrawal of Russian ships from Revel and Helsingfors.

    Schastny saved the country's fleet and received a worthy death, and Trotsky and Dybenko were destroyed by their own party comrades.

          How did you get the goofies really, that’s what the comrade political commander told you, you’ll repeat it. Like in a joke about a flying crocodile fool The article does not match the title very much, and does not reveal the topic at all. Why did the author not bother to compare the options for evacuating the fleet proposed by Schastny and what the same Central Balt offered him? Well, at least in response to the impossibility of withdrawing ships with a short crew and, as a consequence, the sailors from the auxiliary fleet remaining according to the Schastny plan to the Germans in Helsigssfors? Why didn’t the same Shchastny take ANY measures to strengthen the icebreaker teams and the Central Guard organized the armed guard of the remaining ones, after hijacking several to the white Finns, and practically to the Germans Goltz? That’s why, the clever without fear and reproach was that I didn’t understand the value of these ships for the fleet at that moment ??? Hijacked, among other things, in particular the second most powerful icebreaker after Ermak. I will not speak about the submarines that were not withdrawn from the base of the Aland Islands by icebreakers. frank sabotage of the officers, that is, the author did not bother to take the trouble to describe the political conditions at that time! And did the author hear something about the same Finns offering to just sell them some ships? At least, this work was carried out. ! negative Panegyric Shchastnoy.

      Yes. However, hackwork is rare, surprisingly from the author, who produced good articles. The topic is actually very serious, since the political component is intertwined with the technical one, so that it’s simply impossible to separate and paint the interaction .... rather, it’s really difficult to interact, it’s hard to act with facts, by the way. The author didn’t even consider such a fact to be necessary - Of the ships that remained, well, they didn’t end up in the Ice Age, a significant amount the Bolsheviks managed to pull out of Helsigssfors after that. But they naturally did not return the icebreakers taken away by officers under the nose of Schastny.

        I recommend an adapted literary version of the PARTICIPANT of those events on E.M. Orpheus, then a junior officer, Ivan Isakov / Hovhannes Ter Isahakyan, who became a famous admiral in the USSR. When his ship with disassembled turbines was supposed to remain in Helsigssfors, but thanks to the actions of not Schastny with ,, Krecheta ", but quite a decision of the Central Balts in tow, was pulled out, like many other warships by those hard workers ,, Verbs", ,, Vedi "Almost under the nose of the fighters Goltz on the pier.

        This moment was described by Sobolev:
        But we couldn’t move: on Orpheus, the destroyer, the left rowing shaft was bent, and there was a “cabbage” in the right turbine - its blades were crushed by an autumn accident. We stood in the southern harbor of Helsingfors, in the center of the city, and looked at the ships of the Baltic Fleet departing on their own. Until April 12, we did not know how we would be able to save our ship from the pressure of the German troops called up by the Finnish bourgeoisie under the command of General Mannerheim. Part of the team switched to "The Guardian": there were only four people on it, but the cars somehow spun. “The guardian” also left before our eyes - slowly, in a small stroke, barely pushing the ice floes broken by the ships.
        On the morning of April 12, shots of Finnish White Guards crackled in the city. Near the destroyer, a port crane stood. On its upper platform, with a simple eye, without binoculars, five figures of Finnish workers with red bandages on their sleeves were visible, among them one woman. They clung to the trellised trusses of the crane, clutching revolvers in their hands. Crossing figures with rifles appeared on Thorget-Platz. They shot at the windows, at the gates, pushing into the alleys the workers' detachments of the Finnish Red Guards. Then a rare but accurate shooting started from the crane. Unwilling witnesses, shackled by the terms of the peace treaty, we only watched as one after another, people with white bandages, dressed in solid civilian coats, fell on the Torgetz-platz. The advancing began to hide from this exact fire behind the fountain in the middle of the Market Square. Then a machine gun appeared from somewhere and rattled on the crane. He knocked for a long time - apparently, he didn’t have to spare any bullets - and only when all the stirring on the crane stopped, three with white bandages got up there. They threw from the crane the bodies of the slain Red Guards and, last, the wounded. Falling from a height of twenty meters, he screamed until he hit the pavement, and this cry I remember now.
        His scream was picked up by a thick and hoarse beep. We looked around - a dirty pot-bellied transport flying the Soviet flag approached us.
        In the old days, such ships had the contemptuous name "bandura" in the navy. They were also called "merchants" or "transporters." And such a “bandura” with a grand opening of six knots came up to the elegant and slender, but anonymous destroyer. A man in an inconceivable shaggy robe threw a throwing end at our tank. His thin snake brought a six-inch cable to our bollards, the “bandura” started running, and Helsingfors began to slowly move away with the white Finns, who were already looking at the lone Soviet destroyer ...
        For twelve long and difficult days we went in tow of the Burlaka. He pushed the ice broken by Ermak with his wide belly, saving with his own sides the thin and graceful contours of the warship. Then I did not see this transport anywhere. But forever remained in my memory his wide and dirty feed ...

    "Virtually nothing is known about the true plans of the commissar of war Trotsky even today. Who knows, maybe there really was a conspiracy between the Trotsky and German representatives to surrender the fleet

    It should be noted that there is evidence of Trotsky’s real designs. Trotsky's true goal was to destroy the fleet at the insistence of the British, which was done on the Black Sea.
    So rightly Bronstein ice ax was then marked.

    Once again (for tankers):

    Not only is the clown ... well, not witty (this is in accordance with the rules of the site), but also does not understand the meaning of the words in Cyrillic letters. Well, I’m not a burden again for the disease - Reveal to the world and the website LIST OF TRANSFERRED SHIPS OF THE BALTIC Navy of Latvia. A list is when they write in a column or line, in our case, the names of the ships with the date of transfer from whom to whom.

      For example these:
      "Vindavets". Former icebreaking tugboat of the railway department, built in 1904 in Finland. In 7.1915 it was mobilized and included in the BF. He participated in the 1st World War and the February bourgeois-democratic revolution. At the end of 2.1918, due to the impossibility of wiring in the ice, it was left in Reval, captured by German troops and subsequently transferred to Latvia under the Riga Peace Treaty.
      Gernmark. Former icebreaker. The towing parachute of the Riga Stock Exchange Committee, built in 1891. During the years of the 1st World War it was mobilized and included in the Baltic Fleet. He participated in the 1st World War, the February bourgeois-democratic revolution and the Ice Campaign (9-16.4.1918). 11.12.1920/XNUMX/XNUMX according to the Riga Peace Treaty returned to Latvia and was excluded from the lists.

At the same time, the seemingly visible shifts in the re-evacuation of Latvian ships and boats, the Soviet side in every possible way delayed the transfer of Latvian property. On September 12, the Latvian Re-evacuation Commission in Moscow lodged a protest with the chairman of the Soviet Commission over the obstacles posed to the re-evacuation case.

        The main requirement of Latvia to Soviet Russia was the return of icebreakers and large icebreaking tugs, in which Latvia felt an urgent need.
        On July 15, 1923, the Soviet side once again reported that the re-evacuation of Latvian floating craft from Petrograd was delayed due to the poor condition of the ships and the need to continue repairing them. However, already on July 17, “Icebreaker No. 2”, dredgers, steam scows and tugboats left for Petrograd from Riga. The experienced Latvian captain Zaryn led the caravan.

        On August 4, 1920, the first meeting of the peace conference was held under the chairmanship of Ioffe, at which the issue of re-evacuation of port facilities and port facilities was considered.

        they decided to return the property mobilized in wartime assigned to the corresponding ports for political reasons - no one had yet canceled Trotsky’s permanent revolution. But where does the SHIP Baltic Fleet?

        It’s not in vain - besides the two destroyers captured by the ENGLISH in battle and handed over to the Baltic states, he has nothing to present, and a couple of tugboats with shrews and scows for sale by the Bolsheviks of the Baltic Fleet’s battles bully Yes

          It's funny to watch you. first, "you FSE are lying! There was nothing." Then "it was, but a little bit." In fact, Nikitin is right. Soviet Russia-USSR simply shamefully gave the Limitrof, at his request, their ships, Baltic Fleet auxiliary vessels. And it is clear that they did not want to give, delayed, but still gave. And in the "cradle of the revolution", the Russian ships lowered the flag and the Latvians raised their own on them, and put up their guards in order to lead them away as a tribute. A disgrace.

            In fact, you and Nikitin are climbing out of your skin looking for evidence of how to pull the “sale of Russia” and specifically the Baltic Fleet onto the drum. Begin by accusing the Bolsheviks of selling Alaska, and cite “Ekaterina” for documentary evidence “Lyube”! You were wrong. " fool And you can compare how USA admirals betrayed their country and sold tankers to Anasis after the war from the auxiliary fleet. It will become your time to write about the “sale” of scandals and excavators taken from a civilian in wartime and written off as unnecessary. Now, well, if you don’t disgrace with two port tugs further, look at how much the same Bolsheviks took back when joining the Baltic states before the war.

            you are ours. Describe the same way with the trembling of the keyboard, as you already raised the red flag on the former, for example, a German minesweeper, the Baltic states got it - clave in hand, google in search.

              You do not know how to use a search engine, therefore, you simply were not aware of how the Bolsheviks had lost the Latvian war, agreed with their demands for the transfer of ships. And they tried to offend Nikitin, insulting him and turning to personalities. But a bummer, he turned out to be right, and you turned out to be a clown. Now here are clowning around
