⚓️ Russian Navy Day is celebrated today, on July 30, the last Sunday of this summer month! For 327 years the ships of the Russian Navy and their crews have been guarding the borders and national interests of our country - one of the world’s largest naval powers.

The true origin of Russian naval traditions was the October 30, 1696 decree of the Boyar Duma on the construction of a regular fleet, accepted upon the recommendation of Peter the Great.

The Navy Fleet of the Russian Federation is the successor of the Navy Fleet of Russia and the Navy Fleet of the Soviet Union. Structurally, the Russian Navy consists of five operational-strategic units: the Northern, the Pacific, the Baltic, and the Black Sea fleets and the Caspian Flotilla.

Following the tradition, this year St. Petersburg will again host the Main Naval Parade in honor of the holiday, which will be attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
