🗓 110 years ago, the legendary cruiser Varyag, which had previously joined the Russian Arctic Ocean Flotilla, arrived in Scotland for repairs. In November 1916, during the ship’s stay at the Glasgow shipyards, sailors Y.Deltsov and S.Mishchuk-Kamlenyuk, who served on the ship and participated in the First World War, passed away. In recent years, their graves were discovered at the Western Necropolis cemetery in the Scottish city, thanks to the efforts of the “Russian Memorials” online project, which aims to locate Russian military burials abroad. The relevant documents were also provided by the Russian State Naval Archive in St.Petersburg. 🕯Consul General of the Russian Federation in Edinburgh Denis Moskalenko visited the Western Necropolis cemetery to pay tribute to the Russian sailors and laid flowers at their graves. Following Orthodox tradition, Nils Lubchenko, Rector of the Parish of St. Kentigern and Priest of the Diocese of Sourozh of the Russian Orthodox Church, along with the parish choir, performed a memorial service (litiya). Compatriots living in Glasgow also attended the event.
