| In 1869 it was laid in Petersburg, on the 27-th of August 1872 - launched and in 1877 - went into service. Until the 11th of June 1872 it was named "Cruiser". Originally it was on the list as a monitor. In 1873 it was reclassified into an armoured ship, in 1892 - into a squadron battleship and in 1906 - into a training artillery ship. It was the strongest ship of its class in the world. It participated in the World War the First and in the Civil Wars, provided the location of bases for the submarines. On the 26th of February 1918, under the hard ice conditions, it went from Revel (Tallinn) to Helsingfors (Helsinki) und from there - to Kronstadt. From October 1918 it was stored in the port and then was re-equipped into a mine blockship. In 1959 the hull of the ship was disassembled to scrap metal. Among the peculiarities of the model one should mention a rather good level of the detailed drafting and the double-sided print; besides, the screws and other details are printed with a bronze paint. |
