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 haven for large ships, reaching depths of 95 m (320 ft).

Once upon a time there lived a Russian province. Soldiers marched along it, barracks and “public places” were built, it even had its own Admiralty. Thousands of subjects in Orthodox churches offered 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, a Russian squadron under the command of Count Alexei Orlov burned the Turkish fleet in Chesme Bay. The enemy lost 14 ships, 6 frigates and up to 50 small vessels. The trophies of the winners were the 60-gun ship "Rhodes" and 5 large galleys.

Generally speaking, the expedition itself to the Mediterranean Sea was a brilliant strategic plan of the great empress and her advisers, who would later be called “Catherine’s eagles.” After all, before this, not a single Russian warship had even sailed into 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 rebel, 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 rebel leaders did not get along with each other and were never able to create a regular army. As a result, the Russian paratroopers had to return to the ships.

After Chesma, Catherine II did her best to force Alexei Orlov to fight his way through the Dardanelles and bombard Istanbul from the sea. The Turkish fortifications in the strait were then very weak, and the task seemed easily accomplished. 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 gained everything. Now he could lose everything, and if he was lucky, 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 found a Russian province on the islands of the Aegean Sea.

HER MAJESTY'S SUBJECTS

It is unknown who proposed making the island of Paros the main base of the Russian fleet. In any case, strategically it was chosen well. Paros belongs to the Cyclades Islands (southern Aegean Sea) and is located in the center of them. Thus, by owning Paros, you can easily control the Aegean Sea and the approaches to the Dardanelles Strait, which is about 350 km away.

On October 15, 1770, the squadron of Count Alexei Orlov, consisting of the ships “Three Hierarchs”, “Rostislav”, “Rhodes”, the bombardment ship “Thunder”, the frigates “Slava”, “Victory” and “St. Paul” arrived at the island of Paros.

Over the course of several months at 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 command of the squadron with a request to accept them as the citizenship of Catherine II.

At the time of the capture by the Russians, 5 thousand people lived on 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 ship moorings were equipped. 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. Trio Bay was also fortified accordingly.

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

Large ships were not laid down in Auza, 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 vessels.

Auza was filled with various administrative buildings, bakeries, spinning mills, and sailor barracks. I note that the ground forces, for some objective, but rather subjective reasons, were stationed outside the city. Thus, the barracks of the Shlisselburg Infantry Regiment were located on the right bank of Auza Bay. In the depths of the island there was a camp of the Life Guards Regiment of the Preobrazhensky Regiment. They even founded a gymnasium in Auza, 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 aborigines were subject to a tribute (10 percent tax) on bread, wine, timber, etc. A certain portion of the tax was collected in money. In addition, part of the supplies was purchased by the Russian authorities, but the author was unable to establish the proportion between the goods paid for and the 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, especially the islanders, already controlled most of the maritime traffic in the Mediterranean from the 15th century. They considered piracy 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 freed 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 St. Andrew's flags to be raised on their ships.

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

Turkish maritime trade was paralyzed, and 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 THE NEW HOMELAND

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

Alas, the hopes of the Greeks were not justified. 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 supposed to return to the islands. As far as possible, Catherine tried to ease the fate of the people who trusted her. The peace treaty included an amnesty clause for all Greeks, Slavs and Albanians who fought on the side of Russia. The Russian consulates in Greece were entrusted with monitoring the implementation 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 Crimea and on the coast of the Azov Sea. The gymnasium was transferred to St. Petersburg.

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

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

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