For reference:

The civil war in Russia was an armed confrontation in 1917-1922 between organized military-political structures and state entities, conditionally defined as "White Army" and "Red Army", as well as national-state entities in the territory of the former Russian Empire.

The sailing boat Khersones is one of five sailing training "sister ships" built at the Gdansk shipyard by order of the USSR. The overhaul of sailing boat Khersones was completed in June 2016, today the sailing boat is the training base for the practical training of cadets of the State Naval University named after Admiral F. F. Ushakov. The 26 sails of the magnificent three-mast frigate are controlled exclusively by hand and act as the main propeller of the vessel.
