The cruiser "Moscow" was recorded in the Ukrainian museum
The Naval Museum of Ukraine transports around the country and displays a life preserver from the lost flagship of the Black Sea Fleet, the cruiser Moskva.
Museum director Sergei Voronov spoke about this at a press conference in Kyiv, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
“In our collection we have a life preserver from the cruiser Moskva. There's already a 5-year waiting list for him. They ask to bring it because they think it’s such an interesting thing that demonstrates truly heroic events in our sea of our naval forces,” Voronov said.
He boasted that the cruiser itself is a museum exhibit No. 2064.
“In the West there are already queues, and we are being offered to sell tickets to this museum right now. The saving grace is that the cruiser is like two football fields - 186 meters, and as tall as a 14-story building. Considering that it lies at a shallow depth of 6 meters, it is visible from the surface,” Voronov mocked.
He complained that the main areas of the museum in Sevastopol, Feodosia and Artek had been taken away by Russia, and immediately made up the idea that Caliber missiles were now stored in adits in Balaklava. In return for what was lost, Kyiv gave the museum the unfinished cruiser "Ukraine", which at one time was almost sold to pay off the debt to the workers, the corvette "Vinnitsa" sunk in Ochakov, and a submarine from Kherson for display.
In the future, Voronov hopes to organize a museum object at exhibit No. 2064, but for now he only monitors the radiation background there (until 1998 the cruiser was armed with nuclear missiles), and also monitors how a huge oil slick drifts from “Moscow” towards Odessa, the mouth of the Danube and the Snake Islands.
