#DateInHistory Day of the Russian Navy 📆 On this day, 330 years ago, on October 30, 1696, by the decree of the first Emperor of the Russian Empire, Peter the Great, the Azov Naval Flotilla was established, marking the birth of the Russian Navy. 😃 From that moment on, the Russian naval forces continued to expand, and by 1917, our country had the Baltic, Northern, Caspian, Pacific, and Black Sea fleets, with the latter once again defending its Motherland as part of the Special Military Operation in Ukraine. 🇷🇺 Subscribe | Feedback | X | TikTok
