Biography of Nakhimov photo
Andrei Smirnovandidat of historical sciences, an undefeated year ago in the Smolensk region was born the future Admiral Pavel Nakhimov, who glorified the fatherland in the seas and folded his head on a malakhov mound on July 05 to share S. Nakhimov on the Kamchatka Luynet of Sevastopol. Perhaps this is a great Russian navy. Destroying in the Sinop battle on November 18, in the Crimean War, the Turkish squadron.
Lazarev with P. Nakhimov and E. Putyatin on the banks of Russian America during a round -the -world voyage on the “cruiser” frigate in years. Tactics - a third -rate but Sinop battle - by no means an example of naval art. Any admiral who had such superiority in forces that Nakhimov had. Yes, he introduced six combat units into battle, and the Turks - ten, but Russian units are 84 - cannon battleships, and Turkish - frigates and corvettes with the number of guns from 22 to those who helped them four 6-8 -gun coastal batteries do not change 1.
The Russians had more guns, and most importantly - more large -caliber guns. The larger the caliber, the heavier the shell and, therefore, the more cinematic energy of the nucleus that crashes into the enemy’s side. And the side of the frigate and corvette is thinner than the battleship of Nakhimov did not demonstrate any tactical innovations of Nakhima.
He simply placed his ships anchors along the line of the Turkish on the anchors - and fell until the enemy stopped the fire or exploded. Yes, and arranged far from the optimal way. His flagship "Empress Maria" stood so that he had to fight with 4 ships and with the coastal battery. And for the "Grand Duke Konstantin" and "Chemas", only positions remained, from which only 1 - 2 ships could be fused and 1 - 2 batteries for Nakhimov was generally something third.
Below we will see how defiantly he did not notice the tactical "highlights" of Admiral Nelson in the trafalgar battle of the year. Yes, Pavel Stepanovich "picked up" so young officers, so that they were more stubbornly mastered by their profession. But the fact of the matter is that the main thing in the profession of a naval officer did not see in tactical literacy.
And in the actual marine case - in the ability to exploit military sailing vessels. That is, competently managing them, correctly organizing service on them, confidently swim on them and ensure their combat readiness. Without this, even the most advanced tactic will not bring victory in battle. And in the knowledge of the naval affairs itself, Nakhimov was in the Russian sailing fleet outside of competition.
Admiral Nakhimov at the Sevastopol Bastion. He was such a sailor from God, already commanding the Silistria in the years of the gun linear ship. The captain of the 2nd rank Nakhimov, reported on November 18 to St. Petersburg the chief commander of the Black Sea Fleet Vice Admiral M. Lazarev, "serves as a model for all commanders of ships" 3. Aslanbegov, - one of them, getting together in the sea with the Silistria ship and entering the raid, where he flaunted, did not look at his head to head to seem to seem like the best, impeccable form to the vigilant captain of Silistria, from whom not a single step, nor the slightest deficiency, as accurately as the dashing administration?
Its approval was considered a reward that everyone tried to deserve "this is a typical point from the orders of Rear Admiral and then Vice Admiral Nakhimov. In the sea practice, in the organization of service on a sailing ship, he knew absolutely everything, until the last little things. He could not say in the sea charter the need to constantly have one boat on the ship, that one must have two for each side.
It is necessary to quickly lower the boat? You should not introduce flags in a new set of signals, and blue in cloudy weather, in combination with blue, is especially poorly distinguished against the background of the whitish sky. The gang pole for turning the guns, and a banner with a brush for their cleaning, and just the head here will break from the hook on which in all these cases the glass will break - and there would only be riveted other such experts, because it could not be.
Because in the marine case, Nakhimov saw the whole meaning of his life. The portrait of P. Monoglyub "undergrowth from the nobles of Pavel Stepanov Son Nakhimov" could not accept for two years to the sea cadet corps: there were not enough places. But in the training swimming on the Corps brig "Simeon and Anna" in the summer of the summer Paul left without waiting for the enrollment - a volunteer, at his own expense.
And having become an officer, he never married. Although heart hobbies were not alien. And I loved children very much! But he clearly set out his views on this score as a summer lieutenant, in a letter to his best friend, Lieutenant M. Reyneke, the future well-known scientist-hydrograph of January 25 of the year: “Yes, my dear Misha, if I had a little more time to see her, then goodbye your poor Paul without a heart and head.Where would he be suitable then?
Michmanov and Lieutenants X Rear Admiral Nakhimov directly and persistently discouraged to marry. I tried to send them "to distant swimming in order for this love to disappear": "A married officer is not a servant" 8! On her and only Nakhimov was married to her - in the naval service. Now, if you replace the young lady in the naval service in the officer song of those years, then it would be directly the confession of Nakhimov: to you, which laid a string of love straight and the gross-tone closed in my heart, my spirit has been enraged by mine!
Under Foc, Grotto, Marseilles, Fordwind under Brahmseli, my passionate spirit flies to you! Free from the service, the time of Nakhimov - tall, stooped, with an unchanging tint pipe - spent on the count of Sevastopol. Assessing the professional vessels with the eyes of a professional: the “cleanliness” of their maneuvers, the speed and clarity of the setting and cleaning of the sails - in a word, the level of marine culture.
Absorbed in his business, he was “a man of a person who lived in a secular one. In movements, he showed“ some constant fussiness and concern ”11; he spoke with the“ worders ”, that is, adding a particle“ C ”to the words; by the middle of the 19th century this was already considered provincialism. But the main thing was that the same devotees to the business of Nakhimov sought to make all the military.
Sailors. The sailor educator, he achieved this by no means with orders with the listing of shortcomings. Not only steadfast demands that did not exclude the "polishing" of sailors with molting.
Nakhimov tried to inspire his subordinates, to give up! And for this, to convince of the extreme importance of their business not illiterate and undeveloped sailors. It is necessary to encourage sympathy; We need a love of your work, with [these "encouraging sympathy" and the vaccination of love for the service of Nakhimov turned out in some not quite now tangible way-but it turned out!
All memoirists testify to the same thing: “The sailors were very fond of Nakhimov, despite his strictness in the service, and only called him as“ our old Pavel Stepanovich ”“ since the 35 -year -old “old man” was only the commander of the “Sunistria” judging by the same memoirs of the Black Sea officers, the main role was played by what Pavel Stepanovich knew how to say With the sailor - to speak accessible and in a friendly way, with "sympathy", with humor.
He knew how - the benefit was kindly configured, he knew the psychology of a commoner of a particular province to Khokhlu should be approached differently than Katsapa and had a talent clearly and simply explain the difficult things for an illiterate thing. The nucleus is like a roll, and the bomb is a brother, a brother, like a cheese pie in Ukraine, they called cottage cheese.
So what is a bomb? True, the core with gunpowder with young officers was more difficult. The poster of the Soviet film "Admiral Nakhimov". The teacher of the officers Nakhimov sought to influence their pride - but sometimes too straightforward. What was the maneuver, nonsense, sir, Nelson’s entire maneuver was that he knew the weakness of his enemy and his strength and did not lose time, entering the battle.
The glory of Nelson is that he comprehended the spirit of the folk pride of his subordinates and with one simple signal he aroused the passionate enthusiasm in commoners, which were brought up by him and his predecessors. This upbringing is the main task of our life [NN, today you have the scum-cushions were not extended to the place. This is bad; You will never be a good admiral.
Do you know why Nelson broke the French-Spanish fleet under the traffic? The sails stood well, everything was elongated to the place; Brahmseli stood, of course, not like yours today; The French saw this, scorched - so they were defeated "" it was frank stretching, and the NN Michman expectedly ironized that "Pavel Stepanovich attributes the success of the traffic battle elongated to the place of the Brahm -loving." The author of the quoted memoirs of V.
Zarudny chuckled at the simpleton, and many others, however, how to call the Officer the Prostak and knew how to talk. Calmly, but firmly noticed, for example, to the midshipman, who was offended by the recovery for missing the service, that such an insult is cowardly in the face of difficulties, and where would the same ancient Rome come, if his patricians are cowardly?
Where necessary, I didn’t criticize, but encouraged: “You were unsuccessfully stuck to the side, this is nothing, sir, you molested a light boat on a gig. The experience of a great business” and his other pedagogical technique worked flawlessly-a personal example. Absolute devotion to the service created Nakhimov such an authority that it was uncomfortable to blur to the midshipman or lieutenant: what would Pavel Stepanovich say?
And if he pronounced his crown phrase: “Now I see that you are brave officers-s”, then immediately after the death of Nakhimov it became completely clear that he “more than anyone, contributed to the development of the type of Russian sailor and the development in the Black Sea Fleet of that heroic spirit. This is how the unsurpassed educator of Russian sailors, first of all, should remain in history.
