To facilitate the landing on a boat, workers of the recreation center "Western", shelter Stas and K during the visit to O. Popov, provided our group of minibus, which gave us straight to the boat ladder. Thanks to this, I managed to enter the boat to one of the first and put the Stanislav without any particular difficulties. Then, until Stas waited for us in passenger Salon, we plunged all our luggage, including the stroller of our hero. We were sorry to leave the hospitable island with his wonderful inhabitants. For a minute, no one of us arose and the shadows of frustration by the trip. Reality really turned out to be a worthy dream of Stanislav ...
The boat entered the strait of Stark, dividing the Islands of Russian and Popov, and the passengers felt a hatching, increasingly increasing as the boat approach to the exit from the strait.
It was here, in the Stark Strak, Marina Igor made our plan with the stanislav Mikhailenko stylanee prints sealed in the bottle. Perhaps this bottle given by Marina Waves of the Strait will fall into someone's hands, and the one who will find it will inform Stas about his find ... so another dream was born ...

Admiral Georgy Karlovich Stark, who passed all wars of the beginning of the twentieth century - the Russian-Japanese, the first world and civilian - became the last Russian sailor who went into swim under the White Blue Andreev flag. He launched him only in 1923 - in the Philippines, where, not wanting to serve the country called the USSR, led the remnants of the Siberian flotilla.

Vladivostok - Strak Strak. FLOTILLA
Caravan - thirty warships - left Vladivostok on the morning of October 25, 1922. The fleet left his native harbor with an unusual harbor - literally in front of the seasons of the NRA (People's Revolutionary Army) in the capital of the Primorye.
"The Reds entered the city, ... but there were no moving floating funds to persecute us," the admiral in his "Report on the activities of the Siberian Flootilla" was noted with a sense of deep satisfaction.
The main enemy was not red, and autumn and "fresh weather", a murderous for coaster (small icebreakers, steamboats, transport, gunners, boats, barges) and also overloaded vessels. For about ten thousand people left their homeland - military sailors, sailor battalion, marine landing company, marine departments, land military units, including Cossacks, family members of military personnel, Omsk and Khabarovsky Cadet buildings, refugees ...
Flotilla immediately got into such a call, which tugged towing cables. One of the broken barges, loaded with projectiles and other guests, was (not to leave the same advice) to blow up. Native edges left "with music."
Two thousand miles stretched ahead open sea (about four thousand kilometers). Ships, "almost deprived of all sorts of marine qualities." Purchase. Overload. Unclear Flotilla Status (her state no longer existed) ...
It seems that the commander of the Siberian flotilla, never before in a battle, nor in the rear, who did not lose cold-blooded, for the first time, felt confused feelings. "The situation was an hopeless", "transition ... Extremely dangerous, almost impartial," "Future in the complete darkness", "the admiral will write about the start of unparalleled swimming (I quote on the book Yu.K. Stark," Last Stretch ", Russian Baltic Information Center "Blitz", St. Petersburg, 2015).
But before the memories it will be necessary to live.
Strait Stark - Genzan. EXODUS
We passed Russian island. Left behind the Stark Stark - Native Uncle, Admiral
Oscar Stark, participant in the Russian-Japanese War, Commander of the Pacific Fleet. From him, the nephew forever infected the "marine disease" ...
Before Genean (Korea), "collapsed" along the coast. Somewhere behind, the most southern seaside port will ask. Point of non-return. It was from here that the remains of the White Guard Zemskaya Rati and her governor, the last white ruler of the Amur Region, the last White ruler of the Atomur region, Diterich.
Leaving to nowhere, in trouble and need. Delivered weapons, fell into the camps (count, concentration camps). They buried the dead - in the Chinese border, here there were whole Russian cemeteries ...
What did you think, standing on the bridge, counter-admiral Georgy Karlovich Stark? Surely tormented the thought: well, what kind of share is this - tolerate defeats and retreat? Two years earlier handed over the Red Omsk, and Stark, leaving with the parts of Cappel (Great Siberian Ice Hike), got sick with a raw tit. And if it were not for the bonuses - the Sunnove, where he was laid and sent first to the cheat, and from there in Harbin, probably killed.
Dietershs worked in Harbin Bashmachnik. Stark - a Declayer at a construction site. Orphans, spiritual trouble ... And then the deaths appear to military duty, convinced to join the "last decisive fight", to win Primorye, save Russia from the Red Plague.
And, of course, both rushed back, while the White Guard Territory is still.
For months to the defeat of the White Army and the final victory of Soviet power.
Was the right decision?
And he does not give any sleep, no peace of the question, rightly did it, when in 1918 left him in the hungry, cold petrograd wife with two small children in his hands and, changing the soldier, rushed to the south of Russia, where the army of Kolchak was formed ...
And where to him, Georgy Stark, was it still to go? They knew each other from the time of service at the Baltic. Together they fought in the world world, together fought with the German squadron at Moison ...
It happened, "fought" with each other. Time will come, Stark will write in his memoirs, that Kolchak sometimes unnecessary commanded, even screamed on the subordinates. And he remembers the case as one day in 1916 he, defending the sailor, so "closer" with his explosive commander, that at the end of the conversation both almost shouted to each other ...
It seemed the end of the career. But no, the repressions did not follow. Moreover, two days later, Kolchak honestly told the younger in the rank that was wrong. "I sincerely thanked him," says Stark. "After that, I would have followed him anywhere ..."
So it happened.
Genzan - Fusan. PARKING
At the transition to the Genzan (360 miles), the flotilla of Vladivostok refugees without the end of the storms. Two boats drowned, "diligent" and "Retwosan". Fortunately, they walked on tow, empty, and no one was killed.
"The position of ships overcrowded by passengers often was on the verge of death. The fact that this Armada reached Korea, can be considered a sea miracle," wrote one of the participants in the campaign.
In the Genzaan hosted the Japanese. And on the ships of flotilla - frost, close, hunger and cold. To avoid deaths, epidemics and a common "indescribable disaster," Stark, no matter how the Japanese authorities prevented, achieved permission to disembark civilians. Cold barracks, minimum food - that's all that was expected to go on the shore. But it was better than the disastrous "marine adventures".
In the Genzaans, the military and Cossack parts of Glebov and Lebedev generally exported from Primorye were left. And there remained the last hope for Revenge - George Karlovich did not leave the crazy idea to turn to Kamchatka, where the proteger was still a protein. He was not going to give the Primorye red. Developed the defense plan of Vladivostok in order to "consolidate and go to the offensive."
But the Dietershs plan canceled - Stark was forced to obey.
In Genza, he obeyed harsh reality. Kamchatka is already under the advice, the abroad will not help, the strength to fight exhausted. Revenge is impossible.
So, the course on the Korean port of Fusan (now Busan).
Fusan - Tsushima. "AURORA"
In the Fusan, the old familiar - the former colleague in the mine division V.A. Belli. It turned out that now he serves the red and arrived in Korea with a secret mission - to convince Stroka along with flotilla and crews to return to Vladivostok. In exchange, Soviet power guaranteed Admiral amnesty, reunion with family and generous remuneration.
Admiral "With indignation rejected a vigilant offer" (so - in his "report") and advised the former colleague "To avoid bad for him personally, the consequences" leave the hotel room and the city of Fusan.
The international scandal broke out. The Soviet government published in the newspapers "Prescription Admiral Stark to return before January 1, 1923, the court derived from Vladivostok." Under the decision of the Presidium of the DVIK - "return to Russian waters and voluntarily to give the Soviet government, military vessels, military and other property owned by the RSFSR ..." - signatures of Kalinin and Yenukidze.
But "hijacked" by the start of flotilla, picking the sides and the inclusive of the next part of coal, already walked further, pressing towards the shores, fleeing from the autumn storms. Somewhere behind the feed, a little east of the specified course, the island of Tsushima remained. And the same shed. Here in 1905, a senior mine officer, Lieutenant Georgy Stark carried on a new cruiser "Aurora", who arrived as part of the squadron at the Far East from Libay (today - Liepaja). As the admiral writing in his memoirs, "I stood a" dog "in front of the battle (so sailors are called the most serious watch from 12 to 4 hours. - Avt.). In the morning I woke up - Japanese ships go to the crossing course. I heard Japanese ships. I heard Projectile, and in the noise of his flight hears: "Russian present".
In that mortal battle, the death of the brave commander "Aurora" E.R. Egoriev and eighteen sailors. The cruiser, punched by the enemy in the sieve, did not skew miraculously, the crew was stolen wounded. Theft flag "Aurora" was shot down six times with fragments, but, remaining in the crew for a senior officer, Lieutenant Stark, twice wounded, commanded: "On the flag! Flag to raise!", And the white-blue cloth under storm crossflame returned to the place.
His numerous wounds of "Aurora" and her barely lived team "linked" in ... Manila (here's when George Stark paved the road to the Philippines). Then there was a reverse transition to the Baltic, the overhaul, the honors from the inglorious war, the Order for the courage and courage, techniques and reviews with the participation of the courtyard and the sovereign of the emperor ...
And isn't it not a bad dream that his native "Aurora", which gave almost ten years of service, his combat ship, "possessing exemplary order and good traditions", became the symbol of the crash of the empire? .. 
Tsushima - Shanghai. Riot
For two hundred miles from Shanghai Flotily hit the storm, which Stark in his "report" will call the fatal. Sailors tried in vain to repay the passions. Tears, tantrum, panic ... One of the ladies, the passenger of the canoner boat "Ilya Muromets", tried to shoot, but a revolver was taken from time to her. The waves were absorbed by the cruiser "Lieutenant Mukdimov" and everyone who was on board - team, passengers, boys cadets ...
In Shanghai, many to death frightened refugees went ashore, as they say, "with things." And the flotilla and its commander remained alone with a reality. You read the impassive "report" Stark and you understand: Parking in Shanghai has become a test for flotilla with no less than a storm. They were denied in all - in repair, in the corner, food, fresh water (they had to draw straight from the yellow river Yangtze, which did not do in Shanghai, none of the ship either before the start of Stark, nor after). Kassa squadron was empty. All that remained in it is 15 dollars. "Female position," - read in the "Report".
It remains only to be surprised at the diplomatic and entrepreneurial abilities of Admiral Georgy Stark, who managed to repair the ships and help out the funds for the necessary supply (the sale of weapons and several vessels was given to the commander very difficult, but it was salvation).
But what "property"! People left forever - the brave Russian sailors, devotees, seemed to be his admiral (that is, with a capital letter, they will then write about Stark in their memoirs). Went to whom? Like "Aurora" - to red. However, the month of parking, the need, the "Rutin of Anchor Service" decomposed refugees no worse than Bolshevik agitation. Sadness, confusion, general decline, "Attempts to sell Chinese rifles and revolvers ..."
On the eve of the exit from the Shanghai commanders of several ships, fearing a long and dangerous transition to the Philippines, spoke about changing the course to Hong Kong. "I could not allow the division to go to Hong Kong or return to Shanghai, as he knew perfectly," Stark writes, "that all the hope for the salvation of people was ... achieving the possessions of the United States (the Philippines were then the US colony. - Avt.) . I had to stop all sorts of discussion and briefly order everyone immediately prepare for the further transition ... "
During the day before the release of Captain 2 rank M. Korenev stated that his ship was not ready for the campaign. And then to pick up the carriage, Admiral, together with the headquarters of the flotilla, transplanted on "Diomid", "the most bad ship", which is capable of moving only in the tug - it was attached to the Svir rescuer. There, on "Diomid", Stark transfers its flag.
It was a deed. "Example of faintness", how to write in memoirs former subordinates of the admiral. And also - the only way out of the conflict.
And - from Shanghai.
Shanghai - Formosa. STORM
Near the island of Formosa (now Taiwan), with a passage of ships with a narrow strait, in the storm, in dangerous proximity to the Small Islands, the grinders and reefs happened. In the "Report", Admiral Stark Episode is described as "landing of the 3rd division of stranded." Two ships - "Farvater" and "Paris" - miraculously saved. The third is a trailer "Ajax", trying in vain to slip with the crack on the free water, was littered on the side of the wave and finally flooded.
On board 23 people fell into hell. This is how it described this one of those who salted, Gardemarine Ivanov (I quote on the book N.A. Kuznetsova "Russian fleet on a foreign land):
"It was impossible to stay on the deck, and everyone sought anyone where he could. Maxtaled masts, logging, and some settled in the pipe. ... Gardemarine Sh. S. S. Gardemarine lowered pipes-Butstay to the pipe, tied them in several places so that they got Something similar to the storm-ladder, and housed there as curiors ... The result of these cold and hungry days was still what we lost friends. They gave the most terrible way, before our eyes. Gardemarine P. fell from the grotto mast and smashed The head about the cabin company, Gardemarin B. fell from the walls of Fock mast on the winch, Gardemaryarina P. Sorted from the Vant Fock Mast and shifted through the semi-minor, Gardemarine B. Foured from the homemade seat (in a pipe) and drowned in a firebox of the boiler. I had to make circus stunts before I was able to get to the pipe from the grotto, where there was no possibility to stay - we have grunted ... "
In the morning, when the Messenger "Farvater" messenger came to the crash site, the seven remained alive - two riding on the fock mast and five on the water, inside the pipe, which still kept afloat. The wave was such that the ship and boats could not get closer to the disaster, and the one had to get climb.
"Farvater" picked up people and left. And by the evening I returned again - on Fock Machet, about a day I was waiting for my Savior Michman B.E. Petrenko. He was the "Ajax" commander and left him the last.
Soon, the commanding Stark learns from the report of Petrenko not only the details of what happened, but also the fact that sailors are served in the Siberian flotilla worthy of their admiral.
"The behavior of the entire personality in the sense of manifestation of courage in the face of extreme danger was brilliant, - it was in the report." There was no refusal to fulfill orders. Panic was absent. No hope for salvation, people dressed as heroes, sometimes with jokes on the mouth. Gardemaryar Anikyev, drowning, shouted: "Goodbye," Ajax "!"
Philippines - America - Australia - Europe. DEPARTURE
In total, the Philippines reached eleven ships and about a thousand refugees - military sailors and their families. "Voluntary group of people on the basis of laws old Russia, ... To commemorate what ships are flag, registered in all countries as the last existing flag of the military Russian fleet. "
So formulated admiral. Tom stood. And with him - a former naval attachment of the Russian Embassy in Japan and, by the way, to say, the former colleague of Stark in Baltic Council Admiral B.P. Dudorov. It should not be called here, because it was he who managed to help Stark and flotilla overcome all the most dangerous diplomatic "reefs".
It will take almost half a year before most of the refugees - 536 people - finally go on American transport "Meritt" to the Saving California shores. But George Karlovich Stark was not among the departures. I rejected the admiral and repeated proposals to serve the American flag.
Researchers of the Fleet Theme testify: funds from the sale of ships Stark divided equally. The remainder, together with his invaluable "report on the activities of the Siberian flotilla" took french city Antibes and handed over personally in the hands of the Grand Prince Nikolai Nikolayevich to the modern chapter of the Russian Imperial House.
Admiral leaving the ship the last.
Paris - Vladivostok. MEMORY
By the time Europe was already shipped from Soviet Russia Admiral Stark's children - 15-year-old son Boris and 10-year-old daughter Tanya. Elizabeth Vladimirovna's wife did not wait for her husband a little bit. Long and hard pain (tuberculosis), she died in Petrograd in May 1924. Settling with children in Paris, Georgy Karlovich carefully overwhelmed her letters, read-re-read. And before his death, he asked her son to burn a very personal correspondence (see the publication of A.M. Buyakov "Unknown Admiral Stark", notes of the Society for the study of the Amur region, Vladivostok, 1996).
Probably, he knew how to not only fight and save. He knew how and love. In 1943, in the occupied France, once again, abandoning to cooperate with the Nazis, Stark lost his job (the valiant Russian admiral drove in Paris a taxi) and to somehow live, laid the Order in Lombard. Then he sat down for the memories - they were in a book called "My Life".
In her first lines, a few words, maybe not said in life: "I dedicate this work to my best friend - I dedicated to my best friend."
But he dedicated his unparalleled "report", without a doubt, future generations, that is, we. Belog Guard Admiral Stark wrote to remember.
And he was not just not forgotten - they loved. I have become emigrants, Russian sailors from their foreign far thank him in France letters, sending. When in 1950, George Karlovich did not become serving the memorial speeches on him, said farewell speeches: "It was undoubtedly one of the best people, representatives of the glorious Russian imperial fleet ..."
In the early 2000 he remembered Stark and Vladivostok. In memory of the Great Russian Outcome, they set the Russian Orthodox cross with the inscription "to everyone who loved, but who left the homeland." A year later, the shrine was brought from California - the Andreevsky flag, which was once over one of the ships of the Siberian Flotilla.
And then in Russian, the mega-wing and a memorable cross dismantled. Today it is a copy of it, almost imperceptible, in the far corner of the Central Square of Vladivostok.
P.S.Reading the memories of George Karlovich Stark, wrote the scratched phrase: "Only the military valor brings Lavra. Civic courage ... unpopular."
