July 7 The Day of Military Glory of Russia - The Day of Victory of the Russian Navy in the Chesmen Battle

In October, the Turkish government, forced to submit to its then-European allies, the French, declared war on its large neighbor, Russia, to 1768.

The Turkish aggression did not come as a surprise to our country, and at the beginning of 1770 from the Baltic Sea around the whole of Europe, an “Archipelago Expedition” was launched to attack Turkey from the Mediterranean, which entered the glorious history Russian fleet as one of the most wonderful events.

The transition took place in extremely difficult conditions. Since its inception, the Russian fleet has never left its native Baltic Sea and has not had the experience of long-distance expeditions. The task of the Russian squadron, upon reaching the limits of the Aegean Sea, was to search for and destroy the Turkish fleet there.

The enemy fleet was found on July 5 (June 24) in the Chios Strait of the Aegean Sea, near the coastal fortress of Chesma. The Turkish fleet had a double numerical superiority, but despite this the Russian squadron entered into a decisive battle with it.

The avant-garde of the Russian squadron was headed by Admiral Georgy Spiridov, Cordebatalius - Count Alexei Orlov, and the command of the rearguard was entrusted to Rear Admiral John Elphinstone, an Englishman, employed in the protection service.

The failure of the sea battle and the death of the flagship forced the Turkish fleet to retreat inside the Chesme Bay under the protection of coastal batteries. At the Admiral Council, it was decided to block the enemy fleet in the bay and burn it with the help of firefighters.

As a result of successful actions of the Russian squadron of 7 July (26 June), the Turks lost their entire fleet, losing 11 thousands of personnel.

During the perpetuation of the memory of Russian sailors who showed courage and heroism during the Russian-Turkish war 1768-1774, July 7 is celebrated as the day of Russia's military glory - the Victory Day of the Russian Navy in the Chesmen Battle.

[starshina78]

There are plenty of those in the history of our Navy! Chesma, Sinop, the liberation of the Greek islands, when Ushakov first undertook a blockade and the capture of the fortress with the help of ships, the defense of Sevastopol in the Russian - Turkish war and in the war with the Nazis, and many more victories of our Navy and the exploits of our sailors! It was not for nothing that all the enemies who had dealings with our sailors were afraid of them. Sometimes, calling them "black death"! Honor and respect to all the sailors of our Navy, who served in the past and are serving now!

[Shumka.]

Eh, it’s necessary to go to St. Petersburg .. There they talk in detail about the excursions .. In general, when I read about Potemkin Tauride, I don’t know how to say it. But we beat them hard. Six of the Anglo-Saxons.

[Russian]

Still, how useful it is to know the story, because it repeats itself! What then, the Turks were incited by the Anglo-Saxons, that now, it’s true that while the gut is still attacking Russia, they are trying to attack Syria.
And in the article I would like more information, it would be interesting to read about another feat of the Russian spirit and ingenuity. Although, the goal was probably just to highlight the event, in any case, thanks!

[Skreb79]

Totally agree with you. And the extra information would not hurt about victories and defeats, you need to know history so that you don’t make mistakes in the future, as it is now with Syria

[Ruslan_F38]

Turkish rulers dreaming of restoring the Ottoman Empire should think and remember how many times they were beaten by the Russian army and navy.

[Vladimirets]

Such a glorious milestone in our history should have been illuminated in more detail. And about the firewalls, which were commanded by daredevils, and about distinguished themselves in battle.

[sergaivenski]

Now, when blood is pouring in neighboring Syria, it’s not out of place for anyone to remember: the instigators of wars always remain in the shadows, then raking the results of the war into their pockets !!! So it was before the First World War (Shot in Sarajevo) and before the Second World War
(annexation of the Sudetenland region of Czechoslovakia). And it will be the same with Syria !!! The country has actually collapsed. And there is no force that would stop the slaughter, put the warring parties at the negotiating table !!! Nobody wants to pick up the voice of reason !!!

Tactical defeat, but strategic victory.
The feat of the crew of the icebreaker “A.

[JIaIIoTb]

True, you really decide who you are, a German, an Anglo-Saxon or a Jew. And then judging by your comments, you are clearly not Russian, endlessly peeing in the Russian State. Although they named in this comment the word: "here: By your flags, you are anyone but not ours.
No one blows cheeks. And according to recent history, the defense of Sevastopol is worth something, the feat of the Black Sea Fleet marines, called the enemy the Black Death. The feat of the Coastal batteries, which ground more than one Wehrmacht division into dust. The exploits of our submariners drowned in a cloud of ships of the fleet of the 3rd Reich. I am generally silent about the current military campaigns. People who perform feats every day, do not allow our "partners" to devour us right now. There were also many failures, I do not deny, everyone has failures. But the main failure of our country is such unprincipled people as you. Those who are ready to do anything to get in line for the grace of the West. Or do you hope to remain among those 15 million Russians who want to leave for pipe maintenance? Most likely an overseer. There were many of them during the Second World War. You are apparently a descendant of one of them. I am sincerely sorry for you. Because when your masters unleash a war with us, they will put you first against the wall, because you will most likely continue to throw mud at Our Country.
Sincerely.

What alms? He is already plowing the Germans. And it offends him for that. Thought dumped from Russia to Germany and all in chocolate ... Yes, flew to see. It is not good to consider yourself a person of 3 grades. As they say grade 3 is not a marriage.
I flew on a plane with one such German from the Omsk region. He began to tell us with his wife (German wife) about paradise life in Germany. Like I open the refrigerator, fruit unmeasured! I him, so what? I have an identity, they cost a little. He's talking about sausage ... I told him that sausage, as if I’m not very, especially European (gives paper). He tells how every vacation on the Baltic Sea rests. ???? Probably cold? Maybe I'm wrong, I flew from Montenegro, it was warmer there. In general, he did not convince me with anything that they live better. Maybe only mercy without markups?

How did the old "Slava" (which did not manage to leave and disappear with her peers at Tsushima) with a handful of destroyers opposed the German fleet in October 1917 and actually thwarted the German offensive against Petrograd?
Learn history "in the real way."

[tlauicol]

Captured destroyer Thunder goes under the German flag in tow. and the whole operation ended in the loss of 20 thousand people. from our side and 400 from the German is a defeat, not a victory for sure

[Ulysses]

There is no "taken prisoner" here.
There is a wounded Russian destroyer.
В "captivity" no one saw him.

[tlauicol]

you know what I'm talking about. the ship was abandoned by the crew, documents were thrown, the Germans raised their flag on it, towed, the ship was sinking. Is this a feat?
Gangut, Chesma, Navarin, Sinop - 150 years of victories - yes! and then nothing. 150 years of defeat

[politruk419]

Listen to the respected Navy patriots! I myself am a third-generation naval officer. What are such glorious victories of the Russian and Soviet fleet after Sinop? Certain local operations (exclusively landing or by the forces of individual ships) ended in our favor? Feats were-agree. What about victories? Kuril landing operation? Attack S-13 Marinesco? Doubtful torpedo hit in Tirpitz? The Soviet Navy did not wage major battles. About Russia since 1991 it is better to remain silent, away from sin .....
The largest operational operations of the USSR Navy for the entire existence of the "Ocean-71" exercise. But what have the victories to do with it?
The deblockade of Cuba fell through. What else is there from the glorious ..... Well, the development of new types of ships. Well, the underwater epic. But where are the VICTORIES?
The defense of Sevastopol and Odessa is not a victory.
But the disasters were such that enough for the whole story. The fleet died in the Crimean. The fleet died in Tsushima. The fleet died in the Civil. The BSF and BF spent the entire War under siege.
The tonnage of sunken transports by the Northerners cannot be compared to the German Kings-mariners, but even to the Japanese .....
I suggest that the discussion participants be more modest.
The last unconditional naval victory of Russia is the Sinop Battle. The squadron was commanded by Admiral P.S. Nakhimov. So that is all.....

[Motors1991]

I would not attribute Sinop to the brilliant victories of the Russian fleet, all the same, the battleships shoveled the frigates. And Chesma, yes, there is something to be proud of, under the same conditions Nakhimov and Kornilov did not go against the Allied fleet, even the firemen didn’t have enough mind to let the allies land in Evpatoria, when the bay was clogged with enemy ships.

[Master Taiga]

I just talked about this, and not very smart fellow citizens swore at me, and even sent me a ban. There was even a clinical case in general. As a "great naval victory" they tried to slip me a "naval battle" with Georgia. And I was talking about operations of a completely different level.

[pensioner]

The entire fleet and 11 thousand. man ... Never mind a loss! Victory is complete. Ssykashvili didn’t teach history along the way ... Otherwise, I would remember what happens to mongrels who rush at Russia with a fool. The owners then pleased, of course. Like Turkey to the French. But I received it by the breadbox. Like Turkey.

[George]

Happy day of our naval victory, which in Turkish literature is called the "Chesme disaster".
And not in vain, I must say. The results of the battle of Chesme were so obvious and undeniable that the Turks immediately recognized their defeat.

[sergaivenski]

And the Turkish guys are generally cunning !!! Money from Western countries (England, France, Germany, the USA) did their job many times !!! Getting generous money, Ottoman Turkey repeatedly went into battle with Russia and, mind you, almost always got it in the teeth .In addition to the shameful Brest-Litovsk world for Russia. But then this world was vital !!! What do we see now? A number of Turkish provinces have benefited from tourism. Most tourists come from Russia. On the other hand, Turkey has become an outpost for anti-Assad Sil. Receiving generous money from Western countries, Turkey seeks to consolidate its influence in the Black and Mediterranean Seas. Russia is no longer taken into account.

[Thunderbolt]

During the Karabakh war, Turkey brought up significant forces to the conflict zone and wanted to cross the border, then Marshal Shaposhnikov said that the participation of a third party in the conflict could lead to World War III. So the Turks are "eye and eye"

[fzr1000]

And what about the role of Turkey during the wars in Chechnya?

[Thunderbolt]

There are still many irreconcilable people there, they live and live, ts ... And in those years, the Czechs had a resort with full board + delivery channels for militants, military equipment and dollars. And all this was supervised by British and Turkish intelligence officers. Now these circuits are mothballed, but pose a danger.

I’ll develop your idea ... From the fire of four Russian battleships, two frigates, one bombardier ship, four firewalls, 15 battleships, six frigates, and a large number of small vessels burned down. One battleship and five rowing vessels were captured. The losses of the Turks amounted to about 11 thousand people, Russian - 11 people. Like this...
In memory of the Chesme victory, a medal was awarded, which was awarded to all participants in the battle. Count Orlov was awarded the Order of St. George of the 1st degree and received an honorable addition to his surname - Chesmensky; Admiral Sviridov received the highest order of the Russian Empire - St. Andrew the First-Called; Rear Admiral Greig was awarded the Order of St. George 2nd degree. In honor of this victory, the Chesmensky obelisk was erected in Gatchina in 1775, and the Chesmenskaya Column in Tsarskoye Selo in 1778. The Chesmensky Palace was built in Petersburg in 1774-1777, and the Chesmensky Church in 1777-1778.

And in St. Petersburg a very beautiful church was built, which is painted in pink and white, sailors and officers who died from wounds in that battle are buried near it, it and the cemetery have survived to this day, the people still call this church - Chesmenka

[omsbon]

Chesmensky military cemetery - located in the Moscow region of St. Petersburg, next to the Chesme church.

Initially, veterans of the Russian army who lived in a wheelchair house located in the Chesmensky Palace were buried on it. By the middle of the XNUMXth century, the old graves were destroyed, and in their place was the cemetery of the defenders of Leningrad.

On May 7, 2003, a memorial cross was erected in the cemetery in honor of all the dead soldiers. At the base of the cross there is a plaque with the inscription: “Eternal memory of the fallen in the name of Russia during the period of: World War II 1812, Russian-Turkish Wars 1828–1829, 1877–1878, Crimean Campaign 1853–1855, Russian – Japanese War 1904–1905, World War I the war of 1914-1918, the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945 ”[1]. In 2011, restoration and improvement work was carried out at the cemetery.

honestly did not know, thanks for the article.

[Vitaly Anisimov]

With the holiday of our military GLORY SLAVE !!!! We will show the world how we know how to fight!

[cobalt]

The course of the battle is as follows

The Russian fleet included 9 battleships, 3 frigates, the Thunder bombing ship, 17-19 auxiliary ships and transports.
The Turkish fleet consisted of 16 battleships, including the 84-gun Real Mustafa and the 60-gun Rhodes, 6 frigates, 6 shebeks, 13 galleys and 32 small ships. The ships were built in two arcuate lines of 10 and 6 battleships, respectively. There are different opinions about whether the ships of the second line could shoot through the gaps between the ships of the first or not. Frigates, shebeks and other small vessels were behind. The fleet was commanded by Kapudan Pasha Hassan Bey.

In the Chesmen Bay, Turkish ships formed two lines of 8 and 7 battleships, respectively, the rest of the vessels took a position between these lines and the coast.

During the day of July 6, Russian ships shelled the Turkish fleet and coastal fortifications from a long distance. Of the four auxiliary vessels, firewalls were made.

At 17:00 p.m. on July 6, the Thunder bombing ship anchored in front of the entrance to Chesme Bay and began shelling Turkish ships. At 0:30, he joined the battleship Europe, and by 1:00 - Rostislav, in whose wake came the firewalls.
Europa, Rostislav and the approaching "Don't touch me" formed a line from north to south, engaging in battle with Turkish ships, Saratov stood in reserve, and Thunder and frigate Africa attacked the batteries on the western coast of the bay. At 1:30 or a little earlier, as a result of the fire of Thunder or Don't Touch Me, one of the Turkish battleships exploded due to the transition of the flame from the burning sails to the hull. Burning debris from that explosion pelted other ships in the bay.
After the explosion at 2:00 of the second Turkish ship, Russian ships ceased fire, and firewalls entered the bay. The Turks managed to shoot two of them under the command of captains Gagarin and Dugdale (English Dugdale), one under the command of Mackenzie grappled with the already burning ship, and one under the command of Lieutenant D. Ilyin mated with an 84-gun battleship. Ilyin set fire to the firebrand, and he and his crew left him on the boat. The ship exploded and set fire to most of the remaining Turkish ships. By 2:30 another 3 battleships exploded.
Around 4:00, Russian ships sent boats in order to save two large vessels that had not yet burned, but only one of them, the 60-gun Rhodes, was taken out. From 4:00 to 5:30 another 6 battleships exploded, and at the 7th hour - at the same time 4. By 8:00 the battle in the Chesme Bay was over.

The Chesme battle is the clearest example of the destruction of the enemy fleet in the location of its base. The victory of the Russian fleet over twice the enemy’s forces was achieved due to the correct choice of the moment for delivering a decisive blow, surprise attacks at night and unexpected use of firewalls and incendiary shells for the enemy, well-organized interaction of forces, as well as high moral and combat qualities of personnel and naval fleet the art of Admiral Spiridov, who boldly abandoned the template linear tactics that prevailed at that time in the Western European fleets. At the initiative of the admiral, such decisive battle techniques were used as the concentration of all fleet forces against part of the enemy forces and the conduct of the battle at an extremely short distance.

[shasherin_pavel]

Not the Titanic, but Olympic - the older brother of the Titanic, who, apart from catastrophes, saw nothing, and was substituted for the real Titanic in order to drown and get insurance as for the newest ship just launched. Since I got in with my idea, I want to recall the feat of the brig "Mercury" who "won" two battleships. The history of the foreign navy did not know such a confrontation, so that the 18 cannon opposed two linear ones and returned to the base with the slightest damage. Naval victory over the Swedes near Arkhangelsk shown in "Young Russia". Victory of the city of Petropavlovsk - Kamchatsky over the naval squadron and the landing of the British, with minimal losses on our side. Lunin's torpedoing of "Tirpitz" is not a pound of raisins, to take out the thunderstorm of the English fleet, if you remember what losses the victory over the "Bismarck" turned out to be, then to put the main German ship on hold is equal to victory over the main forces of the fascist fleet. When our fleet was escorting lend-lease caravans, we lost 4 ships from all caravans, which amazed all foreign sailors who saw the losses incurred under the convoy of the British fleet. Only the feat of the auxiliary cruiser Dervish took the battle with the pocket battleship Sheer to save at least some part of the convoy, can be compared in the feat of the "Fog" opposing the same "Scheer" in our waters, with a 45 mm cannon the trawler fought a pocket battleship, and the feat of "Sibiryakov" with its 76 mm cannon and two coastal 152 mm howitzers-guns. One pocket battleship that escaped into the Antlantica put the entire English and American fleet on the ears, and two Russian ships forced it to flee. And only Papanin's sloppiness allowed “Scheer” to enter and strike and escape. Thanks to Papanin - I'm sloven, and let him say thanks that he was not shot, but it would be worth ...

[omsbon]

In October 1768, the Turkish government, forced to submit to its then European allies, the French, declared war on its great neighbor, Russia.

It’s a pity that you didn’t remember that even before Ivan the Terrible, the ancient deers from the shores of present-day St. Petersburg inspired fear throughout Europe. That Svyatoslav brought a thousand lodges with wars under Constantinople, and put some of the bottom on the wheels and sailed around Constantinople on dry land, which struck them so that they allowed Svyatoslav to nail his shield on the gates of Constantinople.

The Turks, once the thunderstorm of Europe, crushed and became faithful dogs of the same rotten Europe, and now they are also miserable lackeys of the Yankees. The shameful end of the Ottoman Empire.
It doesn’t reach the Turks that they need to be friends with their neighbors, and not jump on their hind legs asking for handouts from our common enemies.
They did not learn the lessons of history like the Chesmensky rout.

The Russian fleet will raise mother Russia .. It’s very expensive, of course, and it is NECESSARY .. And we’ll refund the stolen money .. !!!

It turned out to be even more fun with the Great Georgian Fleet, 10 minutes, 3 missiles and a fleet. And they say that there are no more victories. Glory to the Russian Navy !!!!!!!!!!!

Chesma (tur. Chesme) today. Anchors and cannons from the sunken Turkish ships in the city square. In the background on the right, an obelisk of light stone with the inscription "In memory of the fallen in the sea battle of 1770". And that's all. With whom they fought not specified.

[pinecone]

But this is a joke in Turkish. A monument recently erected in Cesme to the Crimean Khan, who ruled the year of the Chesme battle and bore a very expressive name, is Kaplan Girey. Just like the last name of Fanny, who assassinated in August 1918. to the life of Vladimir Ilyich.

Friends! Congratulations to sailors and rivermen on the Day of the Sea and River Fleet! Personnel composition personally.
From the lighthouse to the lighthouse go all your life.
Destiny of a famous sailor, always on the way.
Many cool specialists gave the merchant fleet to the military (Marinesco, etc.)
A large role was played by the sailors of the merchant marine in the Second World War. Look at the Commemorative Plaques On the squares and malls of Glory in Vladivostok, Murmansk, St. Petersburg \, Odessa for a list of dead ships and their heroic crews, which they did not want to recognize as participants in the Second World War. Not only naval personnel, but also ships were awarded military orders and medals. Happy Holidays Friends! Under your own flag, under someone else’s flag, you do not want to, but you are all sailors of a powerful naval Power whose fleet will be reborn like a Phoenix from the ashes.

These rams could not even fit this in their heads, they stand and take pictures ... they think ha ha ha nki them here in our waters. But the bulk was in bulk, and although it was not a ram, the anchors rolled out of the haws were the ripped side of the American at the stern, and the case was examined by the "US Congress Commission" and ended with the dismissal of the ship's commander with "shame".

The Chesme medal is beautiful and concise.
In the foreground are four Russian ships. Behind them is a flaming Turkish ship. Over the burning Turkish ship, only one word is coined - “was”. Some researchers believe that this word refers to the deceased Turkish fleet.
This interpretation especially warms the soul.

[Spiegel]

The ancestors, apparently, were scrupulous about the awards - I take off my hat to them. Most likely, "was" means that the awarded WAS in the battle at Chesme, for which he is a special honor. It is impossible to award such a medal to those who are not involved :-)

[VohaAhov]

Dear forum users - good day. perhaps our current rulers and naval commanders do not honor our history enough. In the modern Navy there are no ships bearing the names "Chesma" and "Lieutenant Ilyin". Who is in favor of immortalizing these names in the names of new ships - put a plus.

[bbss]

Who noticed? The Russian fleet was commanded by Admiral SPIRIDOV Georgy Andreyevich! Shame on not knowing it!

Each generation has a reason for Pride. The generation of the Unified State Exam is not included here .. There were the right people and "suddenly" ended .. What to do?

The generation of exam is now 16-20 years old. And you should create the reasons for their pride. So do not grumble at the youth. They, like us, love and admire their ancestors and their history.

To the victories of the Russian Navy, glory! 25 — 26 of June (6 — 7 of July), battle in Chesme Bay
In the Chesmen Bay, Turkish ships formed two lines of 8 and 7 battleships, respectively, the rest of the vessels took a position between these lines and the coast.
During the 6 day of July, Russian ships shelled the Turkish fleet and coastal fortifications from a long distance.
"Europe", "Rostislav" and the approaching "Don't touch me" formed a line from north to south, engaging in battle with Turkish ships, Saratov stood in reserve, and Thunder and the frigate Africa attacked batteries on the western coast of the bay. At 1:30 or a little earlier (at midnight according to Elphinstone [4]), as a result of the fire of Thunder and / or Don't Touch Me, one of the Turkish battleships exploded due to the transition of the flame from the burning sails to the hull. Burning debris from this explosion pelted other ships in the bay. And one under the command of Lieutenant D. Ilyin grappled with an 84-gun ship of the line. Ilyin set fire to the fire-ship, and he, together with the team, left it in a boat. The ship exploded and set fire to most of the remaining Turkish ships. By 2:30, 3 more ships of the line exploded.
Chesme Column
After the Battle of Chesme, the Russian fleet was able to seriously disrupt the communications of the Turks in the Aegean Sea and establish the blockade of the Dardanelles.
All this played an important role in the conclusion of the Kuchuk-Kainardzhi peace treaty.
By order of Catherine II, to commemorate the victory, a Chesmensky memorial hall was created in the Peterhof Grand Palace (1774 — 1777), an 2 monument was erected for this event: the Chesmensky obelisk in Gatchina (1775) and the Chesmenskaya column in Tsarskoye Selo (and also 1778) Chesme Palace (1774 — 1777) and Chesme Church of St. John the Baptist (1777 — 1780) in St. Petersburg.
In memory of the Chesme victory, gold and silver medals were cast. The medals were made according to the “decree of Her Imperial Majesty Empress Catherine Alekseevna”: “We commend this medal to all those who were on it fleet during this Chesme fortune both marine and land lower ranks and allow them to be worn on a blue ribbon in memory in the buttonhole. " Catherine.
Count Alexei Orlov received the right to add the name Chesmensky to the surname.
The name "Chesma" was the squadron battleship of the Russian Navy (see Chesma (battleship)). By decree of Nicholas II, Cesmoy was named the settlement, now a village in the Chelyabinsk region (see Chesma (village)).
There is Cape Chesma in the Anadyr Bay in the 1876 year - an expedition on the Horseman clipper
In July 2012, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed into law amendments “On the Days of Military Glory and Memorable Dates of Russia,” which supplement the list of days of military glory with the date of July 7 — the Day of the Russian Navy's victory over the Turkish fleet in the Chesme battle.

I would like to note that it was only possible to set fire to the fleet with fire ships on the 4th attempt. The previous 3 teams died in my opinion. On this day, I would like to remember not only D. Ilyin, the commander of the 4th fire ship, but also the others - those who failed to complete the task. Glory to Russia!!!!!!!

Films should be made about such victories for young people so that the masses can watch, hence knowledge of history and pride in their country.

[VohaAhov]

Interesting article. However, the first phase of the battle is poorly covered. When the Russian flagship "St. Eustache" went to board the Turkish flagship "Real Mustafa". After being hit by the sides, a burning Turkish mast fell onto the deck of the Russian battleship. "St. Eustathius" exploded with almost its entire crew. A little later, Real Mustafa also exploded. Admiral Spiridonov managed to (escape) retreat, as did the ship’s commander, Cruise. But 636 of our sailors died in the explosion. Only after the explosion of the Turkish flagship did the entire Turkish squadron move to Chesme Bay.

Why was so little told about such a great event in our history. We need more. So that there would be no opportunity for spiteful critics to belittle the greatness of the Russian state.
