After the construction of the Bogatyr, it was transferred to the Far East as part of the Pacific Squadron of the Russian Imperial Fleet and was included in the Vladivostok detachment of cruisers.

On May 15, 1904, she ran into stones in the Amur Bay, received serious damage, with great difficulty the ship was saved and brought to Vladivostok for repairs. Throughout the Russo-Japanese War, the Bogatyr was under repair.

After the war, he was transferred to the Baltic Fleet. Carried out training trips in the Baltic Sea. Went to the Mediterranean and Black Seas. In December 1908, Russian sailors from the Bogatyr were among the first to come to the aid of the inhabitants of Messina buried under the rubble, in total about 1,800 people were saved. Before the First World War in 1912, the Kronstadt steamship plant repaired machines and partially modernized them.

In the First World War he entered the 2nd squadron of cruisers.

On August 26, 1914, the cruisers Pallada and Bogatyr captured the code book from the German light cruiser Magdeburg, which ran aground near Odensholm Island in the Gulf of Finland.
The Russian authorities handed over the book to the British Admiralty, which played a decisive role in revealing the German naval code. The disclosure of the code subsequently had a significant impact, both on military operations at sea and on the course of the war as a whole.
During the war, modernization was carried out in 1915 at the Franco-Russian plant with the replacement of artillery from 152-mm guns in 45 calibers of the long Canet system to 130-mm guns of the Obukhov plant in 55 calibers long.

Throughout the war, he successfully operated in the Baltic Sea, set up minefields, and participated in many military operations. Like the rest of the fleet, it was forced to retreat after the change in the fronts that followed the 1917 revolution. Participated in the famous Ice Campaign of the Baltic Fleet.

In 1922 it was dismantled for metal.

An excerpt characterizing Bogatyr (armored cruiser)

“My cousin has nothing to do with it, and there’s nothing to talk about her!” he shouted furiously.
So when do you get it? Dolokhov asked.
“Tomorrow,” said Rostov, and left the room.

It was not difficult to say "tomorrow" and maintain a tone of propriety; but to come home alone, to see sisters, brother, mother, father, confess and ask for money to which you have no right after the given word of honor, it was terrible.
Haven't slept at home yet. The youth of the Rostovs' house, having returned from the theatre, had supper, sat at the clavichord. As soon as Nikolai entered the hall, he was seized by that loving, poetic atmosphere that reigned that winter in their house and which now, after Dolokhov's proposal and Yogel's ball, seemed to thicken even more, like the air before a thunderstorm, over Sonya and Natasha. Sonya and Natasha, in the blue dresses they wore at the theatre, pretty and knowing it, were happy and smiling at the clavichord. Vera and Shinshin were playing chess in the living room. The old countess, expecting her son and husband, was playing solitaire with an old noblewoman who lived in their house. Denisov, with shining eyes and disheveled hair, was sitting with his leg thrown back at the clavichord, and clapping his short fingers on them, he took chords, and rolling his eyes, in his small, hoarse, but true voice, he sang the poem "The Sorceress" composed by him, to which he tried to find music.
Sorceress, tell me what power
Draws me to abandoned strings;
What kind of fire did you plant in your heart,
What delight spilled over the fingers!
He sang in a passionate voice, shining at the frightened and happy Natasha with his agate, black eyes.
- Perfectly! Great! Natasha screamed. “Another verse,” she said, not noticing Nikolai.
“They have everything the same,” thought Nikolai, looking into the living room, where he saw Vera and his mother with an old woman.
- BUT! here's Nikolenka! Natasha ran up to him.
- Is daddy at home? - he asked.
- I'm glad you came! - Without answering, Natasha said, - we have so much fun. Vassily Dmitritch stayed another day for me, you know?
“No, dad hasn’t arrived yet,” said Sonya.
- Coco, you have arrived, come to me, my friend! said the voice of the countess from the living room. Nikolai went up to his mother, kissed her hand, and, silently sitting down at her table, began to look at her hands, laying out the cards. Laughter and cheerful voices were heard from the hall, persuading Natasha.
“Well, all right, all right,” Denisov shouted, “now there is nothing to excuse, barcarolla is behind you, I beg you.
The Countess looked back at her silent son.
- What happened to you? Nikolai's mother asked.
“Ah, nothing,” he said, as if he was already tired of this one and the same question.
- Is daddy coming soon?
- I think.
“They have the same. They don't know anything! Where can I go? ” thought Nikolai and went back to the hall where the clavichords stood.
Sonya sat at the clavichord and played the prelude of that barcarolle that Denisov especially loved. Natasha was going to sing. Denisov looked at her with enthusiastic eyes.
Nikolai began to pace up and down the room.
“And here is the desire to make her sing? What can she sing? And there is nothing funny here, thought Nikolai.
Sonya took the first chord of the prelude.
“My God, I am lost, I am a dishonorable person. Bullet in the forehead, the only thing left, not to sing, he thought. Leave? but where to? anyway, let them sing!”
Nikolai gloomily, continuing to walk around the room, looked at Denisov and the girls, avoiding their eyes.
"Nikolenka, what's wrong with you?" asked Sonya's gaze fixed on him. She immediately saw that something had happened to him.
Nicholas turned away from her. Natasha, with her sensitivity, also instantly noticed the state of her brother. She noticed him, but she herself was so happy at that moment, she was so far from grief, sadness, reproaches, that she (as often happens with young people) deliberately deceived herself. No, I'm too happy now to spoil my fun with sympathy for someone else's grief, she felt, and said to herself:
"No, I'm sure I'm wrong, he must be as cheerful as I am." Well, Sonya, - she said and went to the very middle of the hall, where, in her opinion, the resonance was best. Raising her head, dropping her lifeless arms, as dancers do, Natasha, stepping from heel to tiptoe with an energetic movement, walked across the middle of the room and stopped.
"Here I am!" as if she were speaking, answering the enthusiastic look of Denisov, who was watching her.
“And what makes her happy! Nikolay thought, looking at his sister. And how she is not bored and not ashamed! Natasha took the first note, her throat widened, her chest straightened, her eyes took on a serious expression. She was not thinking of anyone or anything at that moment, and sounds poured out of her folded smile, those sounds that anyone can make at the same intervals and at the same intervals, but which leave you cold a thousand times, in make you shudder and cry for the thousand and first time.
Natasha this winter began to sing seriously for the first time, and especially because Denisov admired her singing. She sang now not like a child, there was no longer in her singing that comic, childish diligence that had been in her before; but she did not yet sing well, as all the judges who heard her said. “Not processed, but a beautiful voice, it needs to be processed,” everyone said. But they usually said this long after her voice had fallen silent. At the same time, when this unprocessed voice sounded with incorrect aspirations and with efforts of transitions, even the experts of the judge did not say anything, and only enjoyed this unprocessed voice and only wished to hear it again. There was that virginal innocence in her voice, that ignorance of her own strengths and that still uncultivated velvety, which were so combined with the shortcomings of the art of singing that it seemed impossible to change anything in this voice without spoiling it.
“What is this? Nikolai thought, hearing her voice and opening his eyes wide. - What happened to her? How does she sing today? he thought. And suddenly the whole world for him concentrated in anticipation of the next note, the next phrase, and everything in the world became divided into three tempos: “Oh mio crudele affetto ... [Oh my cruel love ...] One, two, three ... one, two ... three ... one… Oh mio crudele affetto… One, two, three… one. Oh, our stupid life! Nicholas thought. All this, and misfortune, and money, and Dolokhov, and malice, and honor - all this is nonsense ... but here it is real ... Hy, Natasha, well, my dear! well, mother! ... how will she take this si? took! thank God!" - and he, without noticing that he was singing, in order to strengthen this si, took the second third of a high note. "My God! how good! Is this what I took? how happy!” he thought.

The Russian Imperial Fleet served for almost 200 years. Its power reached a high level during the Russo-Japanese War. By 1905, the fleet became the third largest in the world in terms of strength. The cruiser "Bogatyr" became a participant in two wars, conquered the expanses of the sea and lived for almost 22 years.

Project history

"Bogatyr" - an armored cruiser, was designed at the beginning of the 20th century. The reason for its development was the same Japan, which at that time worried about its power and strength. Two years before the start of the new century, the Japanese created a program to equip and increase the power of their fleet.

Russia decided to keep up, so with the project "For the needs of the Far East" set about designing ships that could gain superiority over the enemy. Initially, it was planned to create two types of armored cruisers with different displacements. But then the program slowed down its work due to the fact that the plans of 1895 were not fulfilled.

The Maritime Ministry decided to seek help from shipbuilding firms abroad. After a small competition, Russia drew attention to the project presented by Germany. The country presented a ship with powerful artillery and a displacement of 6250 tons.

Implementation of the planned

The construction of the cruiser began the very next year after the project plan was drawn up. At the end of 1899, the lead ship was laid down, with the bright and powerful name Bogatyr. The construction of the future naval fighter began in full swing. While working on the ship, the Germans decided to transfer 3 more drawings to Russia, thanks to which armored cruisers of the Bogatyr type were to appear.

Construction did not go smoothly. There were constant problems with the supply of parts, directly with the design. Both sides argued all the time and could not agree on the final project even in the process of its implementation. Because of this, the deadlines were constantly postponed, and the ship was not ready.

At the beginning of 1901, the Bogatyr cruiser, the drawings of which were successfully embodied in a powerful vessel, took to the water. After conducting a lot of tests, including speed tests, in 1902 the ship was handed over to the customer, and it was able to go into battle.

Far East

The course to the Far East was adopted after the cruiser "Bogatyr" became a full-fledged combat ship and was trained by firing. Two squadron battleships and two cruisers went to the Pacific Ocean with him.

Only after 2 years the ship was able to enter into a real battle. The entire Bogatyr detachment was dressed in olive color, Russia declared war on Japan. Cruise began. This process was stopped by the sinking of a coastal steamer, the capture of the crew and a storm.

The next cruising only set the attack in motion and already in March a detachment of 4 cruisers and 2 destroyers bombarded Vladivostok. Over time, another 15 ships sailed to him. The Vladivostok detachment was supposed to divert attention, with which they did an excellent job.

At the end of April, the Bogatyr cruiser, whose armament was one of the most powerful in the detachment, joined the Gromoboi and Rossiya cruisers. They sent two destroyers with them. It was a quiet cruising that brought great results.

The first wound that the ship received happened in May. Sea visibility was extremely low, despite moving at a speed of 10 knots. A team of officers tried to reason with the captain, but all persuasion was in vain. As a result, the Bogatyr was damaged by stones near Cape Bruce. This event was sad for the entire crew. In addition to the fact that the ship received holes and flooded several compartments, he could not get off the rocks on his own.

The help that arrived that day did not bring results. The weather also did not play into the hands of the sailors. A storm of 10 points forced the entire "heroic" crew to be evacuated. After a storm, a mechanic and workers arrived on the ship. The damage was severe. Almost half of the compartments were flooded, the ship turned on the rocks.

It took a month and a half to remove the ship from the stones. All this time it was unloaded until it was completely "liberated". Until the end of the war, the towed "Bogatyr" remained in the port of Vladivostok. The ship was still destined to meet with the Japanese, but in peacetime. "Bogatyr" escorted the cruiser "Russia" to the port of Racine. There were two opposing admirals on the ship. Here they discussed the terms of the peace treaty, which they later concluded at Portsmouth.

Baltic Adventure

In 1906, the "Bogatyr" was returned to service. He was included in the Special Detachment, which was supposed to sail with midshipmen and non-commissioned officers. In the same year, the ship took part in restoring order at the Sveaborg fortress. The uprising was muted by artillery fire.

Later, the cruiser "Bogatyr" set sail on the Mediterranean Sea. Here he had to visit Naples for the funeral of N. V. Muravyov, later to rescue victims of the earthquake off the Italian coast. A few years later, the ship's crew was awarded for this help and for saving 2,400 residents of Messina. In 1912, the cruiser was repaired at the Kronstadt plant, and the next year she plied the expanses of the Mediterranean Sea.

Serious fight

Already 13 days after the Germans declared war on the Russians, the Bogatyr was able to realize itself and, together with the Pallada cruiser and two destroyers, knock out an important enemy. Coincidence or fate led to the fact that the German light cruiser "Magdeburg" sat on the rocks near the lighthouse. There was no one to help them, and the crew could not cope with the problem on their own. These attempts were noticed by Russian scouts, and they decided to send our combat detachment here.

The captains of "Bogatyr" and "Pallada" knew about the existence of each other, but did not realize that the command sent more destroyers "Lieutenant Burakov" and "Zealous" to help. Despite the fact that the cruisers were supposed to cover their battle brothers, the destroyers arrived at the Magdeburg faster, but could not detect the enemy.

The mistake of the German captain, who decided to bombard the lighthouse, betrayed their location. The destroyers began to fire at the enemy ship, and from the other side, the Bogatyr and Pallada approached and began to attack the Magdeburg. Because of the thick fog, the Russian detachment could not see that the German destroyer had already evacuated the crew of the cruiser.

Also from the Russian cruisers, the allied destroyers, who mistakenly seemed to be enemies, got it, and they, in turn, fired torpedoes at the Bogatyr and Pallada. In the morning, the Russian captains figured out the problem and focused on the Magdeburg and the auxiliary destroyer.

The enemy ship could not withstand the shelling and blew up his own ship. This operation became key, thanks to the documents found on board the German cruiser, which later helped decipher enemy radio messages.

At the end of 1914, the cruiser managed to lay a couple of insidious mines, which blew up a German cruiser. A year later, the ship again served the Russian fleet with its mines and a damaged enemy ship. Throughout the First World War, Bogatyr successfully identified enemies, laid mines and sank ships.

Last breath

After the start of the revolution, the cruiser had to retreat, as changes were observed at the front. After he participated in the Baltic Fleet in the Later, the ship was sent for storage to the port of Kronstadt. For about 4 years, the Bogatyr cruiser was disarmed. In the summer of 1922, the ship was sold for scrap, taken to the Germans, and they dismantled it. Officially, the cruiser was excluded from the list of the Russian fleet only in 1925.

Brethren

A series of brothers "Bogatyr" was very successful. Among them were Vityaz, Oleg, Ochakov, Cahul. The last two were renamed two and three times. Each of the cruisers served for a long time, except for the Vityaz. This ship burned down during construction and was not commissioned.

The very first Bogatyr was launched, as you know, in 1901, followed by Ochakov. True, he did not enter service as quickly as his "elder brother", only in 1909. He served until 1920 and was detained by the French. "Cahul" was renamed twice, first to "Memory of Mercury", later to "Comintern". During World War II, it was disarmed and sunk to create a breakwater.

The last cruiser from the Oleg series also did not last long, only until 1919, due to a torpedo attack by a British boat. But in 1938 it was lifted from the bottom and cut into metal.

The Bogatyr cruiser, whose photo is presented in the article, has become very popular due to its exploits. This ship appeared in World of Warships. He takes a place in the Soviet branch at level 3. The developers of the project tried to recreate it as accurately as possible.

Several times, creative people tried to perpetuate the Bogatyr cruiser. The model was created on a scale of 1/100, while it was made as close to the original as possible. Some exhibits can be disassembled in half, along the waterline, in order to install electric motors inside to control the cruiser on the water.

Literature

“Bogatyr” was the third armored cruiser after the cruisers “Varyag” and “Askold”, which was developed according to one tactical and technical task within the framework of the new shipbuilding program of 1898 “for the needs of the Far East”. The project of the company "Vulcan" (Germany). It was intended to perform the functions of a reconnaissance cruiser for a squadron and joint operations with destroyers. The ship was distinguished by a high (for its time) speed with an optimal combination of offensive and defensive elements. Unlike the cruiser "Varyag" - the lead ship of the conditional series, a third of the 152-mm guns were enclosed in towers, and the rest were placed behind the armor of shields or in casemates. Cruisers of this class were considered the best representatives of medium armored cruisers in the Russian fleet. However, the turret guns could not fire to kill simultaneously with the guns of the on-board mounts due to differences in aiming methods. In addition, the tower elevators were not adapted to feed projectiles with ballistic tips.

"Bogatyr"
On January 23, 1899, it was included in the lists of ships of the Baltic Fleet and on December 21, 1899 it was laid down at the Vulkan shipyard in Stettin (Germany), launched on January 30, 1901, and commissioned on August 20, 1902.
