Events began this week in Moscow honoring
the 350th anniversary of boat and shipbuilding in Russia.
They are being held by the Russian Historical Society and chaired by Sergey Naryshkin.
At one time the anniversary was the only thing to celebrate,
because it seemed that the industry was dying. But today we have entered a new era.
Our correspondent Dmitry Khrustalev visited the most modern shipyards in St. Petersburg
and the original homeland of Russian shipbuilding, which is located in the Moscow Region.
Electronic jamming equipment,
anti-aircraft weapons with below deck launchers,
and mounted guns, which are unique for Russia and the world for now.
The newest frigate, Admiral Gorshkov, is the most modern stealth warship in Russia.
Among the main advantages is its ability to travel long distances.
Final testing will begin at the end of this month,
and in summer, the frigate will go to join its fleet.
Dedinovo village near Kolomna in the Moscow Region.
Yes, Peter the Great created the first Russian fleet,
but it was during Aleksey Mikhailovich's reign, Peter I's father,
who started the shipbuilding industry.
By decree of Aleksey, the construction of a 22-gun frigate began here 350 years ago.
To construct the European class ships, the wood needed to first be dried for 1 to 3 years.
Boards and metal bars were taken from local farmers.
Some wood used was left over from the construction of a Moscow River bridge.
The construction site was not chosen randomly.
The oldest shipyard was once located near where today stands a memorial and the Trinity Church.
Dedinovo was famous for their domestic shipbuilders and carpenters.
Dutch craftsmen were invited to supervise the work.
The first domestic ship, Oryol, built using European technology, had a very unique feature.
This marine ship was able to pass across the Oka's shallow river waters
and travel up the Volga river to Astrakhan.
This was due to the draft of this sea ship only being half a meter.
However, the first voyage turned out to be the last one.
The ship came to the same place where the Stenka Razin uprising broke out and was abandoned.
Today it seems that domestic shipbuilding has all but been abandoned.
Let's go back to St. Petersburg.
A domestic know-how of the XXI century.
A sea trawler. A mine defense ship with the world's largest monolithic fiberglass hull.
This technology is being used in Russia for the first time.
This is the Baltiysky Zavod factory.
At the beginning of the last century, the first Russian combat submarine was built here.
Now, they build the most modern icebreakers here.
Today, the once world's most powerful Arctic icebreaker Krasin,
which is as old as the Russian revolution,
looks very humble next to the Arctic, the world's biggest,
most modern and most powerful two-reactor nuclear icebreaker.
Innovative design allows to adjust the depth of the ice-breaker's immersion in the water.
This means that it can lead ships not only through Arctic ice, but also into the mouths of rivers.
Length is nearly 200 meters, width 34 meters, and height is the same as a nine storey building.
Two reactors produce 175 megawatts each, enough to provide power to a major city for years.
The icebreaker can function in stand-alone mode without having to enter any port for years.
Of all the new nuclear icebreakers, the Arctic will be the main one,
which will allow Russia to rule the high latitudes.
According to experts, in the world today there is no comparison.
Due to its power and thickness of the hull, which reaches up to 40 millimeters,
the icebreaker is able to go through ice as thick as three meters.
No ship in the world can break through such ice.
On the other side of the Neva River, stands the old Admiralty Shipyards.
And there stands something else to be proud of, the icebreaker "Ilya Muromets".
It is both a tugboat and a patrol ship.
On board, it has equipment for containing oil spills and extinguishing fires at needed emergency facilities.
The new icebreaker will join the Navy for the first time in half a century.
As part of Russia's import substitution program, we were able to maximize the use
of domestic equipment to build this icebreaker, such as the power system and ship control systems.
A huge number of pumps, devices, and accessories were all made in Russia.
In general, the overall trend in recent years has been
choosing domestic suppliers of equipment and on board systems.
We have created a plan on the development of the shipbuilding industry until 2030,
which will require all relevant enterprises to work at their capacities.
First of all, we will put an emphasis on developing marine equipment.
The Northern Shipyard in St. Petersburg is impressive.
The Shipbuilding Corporation will launch their first pilot project there.
They will use all possible advanced technologies that exist in the world of shipbuilding.
It will be the northern point of building of heavy-tonnage vessels
both for military and domestic ships. It will also be the best in blank hull manufacturing.
It will allow us to move large sections regarding the building of megablocks.
It will be the first experience of building in the European part of Russia and on the Northern Shipyard.
During the 350th anniversary since the launching of Russia's first warship,
many people often speak about the importance of the domestic shipbuilding industry.
The landmark date will be here soon. It is June 29.
This was the day when Tsar Aleksey Mikhailovich issued the now famous decree.
The day, which has been repeatedly proposed to be made the official holiday of shipbuilders.
Dmitry Khrustalev, Ivan Utkin, Igor Vologdin, Stanislav Petrov,
Igor Belogurov, and Maria Bizyaeva, Vesti Saturday. Saint Petersburg, Moscow, and Dedinovo.
