12 Villefrance Bay, France

This is the most beautiful bay in France. Villefrance is one of the deepest natural harbors of any port in the Mediterranean and provides a safe location for large ships, reaching depths of 95 m (320 ft).

Once upon a time there was a Russian province. Soldiers marched along it, barracks were built, "public places", there was even its own Admiralty. Thousands of subjects in Orthodox churches offered up prayers for the health of Empress Catherine II. Everything was as it should be, but this province was ... thousands of miles from Russia.

GENIUS DESIGN

This is a true but long forgotten story. On June 26-27, 1770, the Russian squadron under the command of Count Alexei Orlov burned the Turkish fleet in the Chesme Bay. The enemy lost 14 ships, 6 frigates and up to 50 small ships at once. The trophies of the winners were the 60-gun ship Rhodes and 5 large galleys.

Generally speaking, the expedition to the Mediterranean itself was a brilliant strategic plan of the great empress and her advisers, who would later be called "Catherine's eagles." After all, before that, not a single Russian warship even went to the Atlantic, except for the transfer of newly built combat units from Arkhangelsk to Kronstadt.

According to the original plan, it was supposed to land small troops on the territory of mainland Greece, and then the "sons of Hellas" were supposed to raise an uprising, drive out the Turks and provide their ports to the Russians. However, the Turks concentrated large forces in the south of the Balkan Peninsula, and the leaders of the rebels did not get along with each other and did not manage to create a regular army. As a result, the Russian paratroopers had to return to the ships.

After Chesma, Catherine II urged Alexei Orlov in every possible way to break through the Dardanelles and bombard Istanbul from the sea. The Turkish fortifications in the strait were then very weak, and the task seemed easily feasible. But the Count was afraid. As a young captain of the guard, he was not afraid to plot against the legitimate emperor in favor of his German wife, who had no rights to the Russian throne, and later personally kill Peter III. But after Chesma, the general-in-chief was at the zenith of his glory. Previously, he, a nobleman from a not very noble and not very rich family, risked only his head, and with luck he acquired everything. Now he could lose everything, and if he was lucky, he could gain nothing. But he already possessed everything that a subject of Her Majesty could possess.

And then Orlov, with the sanction of the empress, decides to establish a Russian province on the islands of the Aegean Sea.

HER MAJESTY'S SUBJECTS

Who proposed to make the island of Paros the main base of the Russian fleet is unknown. In any case, it is strategically chosen well. Paros belongs to the Cyclades Islands (the southern part of the Aegean Sea) and is located in their center. Thus, owning Paros, one can easily control the Aegean Sea and the approaches to the Dardanelles, which is about 350 km away.

On October 15, 1770, the squadron of Count Alexei Orlov, consisting of the ships "Three Hierarchs", "Rostislav", "Rhodos", the bombardment ship "Thunder", the frigates "Glory", "Victory" and "St. Paul" arrived to the island of Paros.

Within a few months of the end of 1770 and the beginning of 1771, 27 inhabited islands of the Aegean Sea were occupied by the Russians or voluntarily went over to their side, and the local population turned to the squadron command with a request to accept them as subjects of Catherine II.

By the time of the capture by the Russians, 5 thousand people lived in Paros, the overwhelming majority were Orthodox Greeks. They were engaged in arable farming, viticulture and sheep breeding.

There were no Turkish authorities on the island, and the Greeks joyfully welcomed our ships. Russian sailors used both bays of the island - Auzu and Trio, where ships were equipped with moorings. But the capital of the "province" was the city of Auza, built by the Russians on the left bank of the bay of the same name.

First of all, the bay was fortified; two redoubts with stone parapets for nine and eight 30- and 24-pound guns were built on its left bank. A 10-gun battery was placed on an island at the entrance to the bay. Accordingly, Trio Bay was also fortified.

The building of the Admiralty was erected on the left bank of the Auza Bay. Yes Yes! Russian Admiralty! The Baltic Fleet had an Admiralty in St. Petersburg, there was no Admiralty on the Black Sea then, just as there was no fleet, but on the Mediterranean Sea there was an Admiralty for our Archipelago Fleet. Dozens of shipbuilders went to Auza from St. Petersburg.

Large ships were not laid down in Auz, and there was no need for this, but ships of all ranks were repaired. But they built a large number of small sailing and various rowing ships.

Auza was filled with various administrative buildings, bakeries, spinning mills, barracks for sailors. I note that the ground forces, for some objective, but rather subjective reasons, were deployed outside the city. So, the barracks of the Shlisselburg Infantry Regiment were located on the right bank of the Auza Bay. In the depths of the island there was a camp of the Life Guards of the Preobrazhensky Regiment. Even a gymnasium was founded in Auz, where hundreds of Greek boys studied.

The province of 27 islands was supposed to provide a fleet of up to 50 pennants and several infantry regiments. Therefore, the natives were taxed (10 percent tax) on bread, wine, timber, etc. A certain share of the tax was levied in cash. In addition, part of the supplies was bought by the Russian authorities, but the author failed to establish the proportion between paid goods and taxes collected. But, alas, there were not enough taxes, and Orlov did not want to become a burden to the friendly Orthodox people. Basurmans must pay for everything!

The Greeks, and especially the islanders, already from the 15th century held in their hands a large part of the maritime traffic in the Mediterranean. They considered piracy to be a completely legitimate business, as if part of trade. The only thing that held back the Greek corsairs was the power of the Turkish fleet. Chesma and a number of other Russian victories saved them from the Turks. Even before Chesma, several Greek owners of merchant ships (they were also captains) came to Orlov and asked for Russian citizenship. The count willingly accepted the Greeks and allowed them to raise the St. Andrew's flags on their ships.

And so, frigates, brigs, shebeks and galleys under Russian flags flew all over the Eastern Mediterranean. Recall that the huge Turkish empire had almost no roads, and trade was mainly by sea. Every year, hundreds of Turkish, and to be honest, neutral ships became the prey of the Greek "gentlemen of fortune." Moreover, sometimes a mixed (Russian-Greek) crew under the command of Russian officers went to cruising. The corsairs made several daring raids on Turkish ports in Asia Minor, Syria and Egypt.

Turkish maritime trade was paralyzed, famine began in Istanbul. The Turks were rescued by the French, who, under their flag, transported food and other goods to the capital of the Ottoman Empire. Count Orlov and the Russian admirals demanded from Catherine II permission to seize all French ships indiscriminately, but the queen did not allow this.

TO A NEW HOMELAND

On July 25, 1774, a Turkish semi-galley with a white flag approached the Russian squadron of Admiral Elmanov, stationed near the island of Tasso. Major Belich (a Serb in Russian service) arrived on it with a letter from Field Marshal Rumyantsev, which stated that on July 10 peace was concluded with the Turks.

Alas, the hopes of the Greeks did not come true. Our admirals promised them that after the war, if not all of Greece, then at least the "province" would become part of Russia. And now the Turks were to return to the islands. As far as possible, Catherine tried to alleviate the fate of the people who trusted her. The peace treaty contained an amnesty clause for all Greeks, Slavs and Albanians who fought on the side of Russia. The Russian consulates in Greece were instructed to monitor the fulfillment of this condition by the Turks. Anyone from the population of the island province was allowed to sail to Russia on Russian and Greek ships.

Thousands of Greeks left for a distant country, most of them settled in the Crimea and on the coast of the Sea of ​​Azov. The gymnasium was transferred to St. Petersburg.

Several corsair frigates with Greek refugees - "Archipelago", "Tino", "Saint Nicholas" and others - disguised as merchant ships, passed the Straits, and then became one of the first ships of the emerging Black Sea Fleet.

Catherine ordered the formation of a Greek infantry regiment in the Crimea. Many Greek pirates became admirals of the Russian fleet. Among them are Mark Voinovich, Panaioti Alexiano, Anton Alekiano.

The Kyuchuk-Kainarji peace turned out to be only a short truce. In August 1787, the Ottoman Empire again declared war on Russia. Greeks from the first generation of corsairs became captains of a number of ships of the Black Sea Fleet, and the old pirate Mark Voinovich commanded the Sevastopol squadron of the Black Sea Fleet.
