"Varangian" - from an oven brjak.
Last parade of the Ukrainian cruiser has broken in "Egejsky
Triangle ".
All Greece, having concealed breath, watched in the past weekend for
How in Aegean sea struggled with elements "Russian" as it
Here named, an aircraft carrier "Varangian". As a matter of fact,
Not completed ship belonging to Ukraine, with what
To struggle could not in any way because on him was not engines,
Arms. Safely having passed Bosporus, it has appeared without
Managements in a whole gale in Aegean sea near island
Scyros.
Helpless there were also all three super-power tows, which
Transported this huge vessel sold to China in length 307 and
In the width of 60 metres. Greeks evacuated from "Varangian" of all
The people who were on him (three citizens of Ukraine and Russia and one
- Philippines) by means of all-weather helicopters "Pumas" also delivered
Them in the airport of Eleusis, and have then directed on rescue eks -
Aircraft carrier eight more sea tows.
It is curious, that in operation on rescue former Soviet
"Varangian" the former, most powerful tow took part in the world too
The Soviet fleet "Foty Krylov" which is leased for a long time already
To Greek firm "п?п п п п я п я " the Russian Navy. As a result two
Were "pride" have met at coast of Greece.
To one is intended to become the floating pleasure centre and
The casino in China, and another helps Greeks and Chineses to deliver it
Steel "casino" in an integrity and safety. Judging by the last
To messages, to the Greek rescuers it was possible to take at last
The helpless ship under the control and to bring it to coast.
It is necessary to tell, local widths call recently
Superstitious feelings at seamen. Shortly before history with "Varangian"
Mysterious incident happens by steam-ship "Salekhard". At
Coast of island Levkada the assistant to the captain on radio electronics (and
In an old fashion - the radio operator) Dmitry Isitov suddenly "began to behave
Inadequately "and siganul for a board.
Some days it were searched by all coast guard of Greece, a boat,
Fishing launches and even helicopters, however and have found.
In the certificate which have made then the captain of "Salekhard" and "group
Companions ", and it is noticed, that it is possible to explain a jump
"A mental illness" Isitova. However, as have informed some
Members of crew and relatives of completely gone seaman, to
It Isitov was absolutely healthy.
All these histories suggest about somebody ominous "Egejsky
Triangle ", like Bermudas, badly influencing on
Navigation. Or about elementary sloppiness? Here understand
As you want...
From the file "MK":
The heavy aviabearing cruiser "Varangian" has been put in pawn on
The Black Sea ship-building factory (Nikolaev, Ukraine) in
December, 1985, and in November of 1988 - it is floated. From the end
1991 its financing is stopped. Technical readiness
The ship - 70 %. Expenses for cruiser building have made more
500 billion roubles (in the prices of 1993). A cruiser after disintegration of the USSR
Has got to Ukraine as a part of the Soviet military inheritance. In the summer
1994 on board of the ministry of mechanical engineering, VPK and conversion
Ukraine the decision on cruiser recycling was accepted. By estimations
The experts, made in 1995, for ship completion it is necessary
There was at least $300 million, and it is sharp would manage in $200 million
At its sale on scrap metal it is possible to gain no more than $5 million
At the same time cruiser cost in the world market can make
At least $2,5 billion Therefore in 1998 "Varangian" have been sold for 20
Millions dollars to China which promises to transform a vessel in
Floating hotel with restaurants, discos, a casino and trading
The centres.
