The Forts of Kronshtadt, St. Petersburg
The Kronshtadt fortress is a complex of forts of different centuries located on artificial islands. There are no similar naval constructions in the world built in such adverse climatic conditions. The forts fulfilled their mission in early XVIII century during the attack of Swedish landing troops, and in 1854-1855 when they scared away the joined English-French fleet who tried to attack the city.

Kronshtadt St Petersburg Russia View from Cruise Ship
Our cruise ship the Norwegian Star was leaving Russia, and this video shows show interesting scenery of Kronshtadt (on Kotlin island) which is a town that is part of the St. Petersburg area. You see numerous ships of the Russian navy, some perhaps decommissioned, docked at the Kronstadt Ship Repair Plant, plus many small forts. The building with the shiny round dome is the Naval Cathedral in Kronstadt, and the tower is the Kronstadt lighthouse. This area, the Kronstadt Sea Fortress, was apparently one of the most fortified in the world. Finally the ship sails past Fort Totleben. Next came the Kronshtadtsky area, the end of Saint Petersburg, and into the open waters of the Gulf of Finland. Kronshtadtsky. That area sure looks like a giant gate which could potentially swing close and shutdown access to St. Petersburg by water!

Russia: Kronstadt diesel-electric sub launched in St. Petersburg
Subscribe to our channel! rupt.ly/subscribe
The Russian Navy’s Kronstadt Lada-class diesel-electric submarine was launched in Saint Petersburg on Thursday.
The Project 677 vessel boasts anaerobic engines, meaning that the submarine can stay underwater for weeks. It is equipped with six 533-mm torpedo tubes and can fire cruise missiles. Its primary role will be to defend naval bases, coastal waters and sea communication lines.
“All the technical characteristics of this boat are superior to its predecessor, the Project 636 submarine. We believe that the future of the [Russian] Navy, in terms of non-nuclear submarines, lies in Project 677 submarines,” Head of the Admiralty Shipyard Aleksandr Buzakov said, adding that he believed that many of this class of submarine will be made.

Фо́рты Санкт-Петербу́рга — комплекс долговременных оборонительных сооружений, в разное время возведённых с целью защиты столицы государства от нападения со стороны моря. В годы своего существования они представляли собой памятник фортификационного искусства мирового значения.[1] С точки зрения истории военного искусства и мировой истории в целом комплекс рассматриваемых оборонительных сооружений уникален тем, что здесь на всё ещё сохраняющихся объектах можно проследить ход всё ускоряющегося соревнования между средствами нападения с моря и защиты от него, между совершенствованием фортификации и прогрессом в создании артиллерийских систем как с целью обороны, так и её преодоления. Это соревнование длилось более двухсот лет, в течение которых оборона Петербурга ни разу не была прорвана.

Lighthouse Museum at Fort Konstantin, Kronstadt. St. Petersburg, Russia
30Km (19mi) west from Saint Petersburg, there is a municipal town of Kronstadt, located on the Kotlin Island. Kronstadt is known as sea gates of Saint Petersburg, the only way to get to the city from the sea (Baltic Sea and Gulf of Finland).
Peter The Great founded it in the same time as Saint Petersburg with just one fortification called Kronslot which is finally turned into a unique complex of 20 forts on Kotlin Island itself and around it.
Most of fortifications are made for an artillery defense of an approaches to Saint Petersburg. Back in those days there was so called Nortnern War between Sweden and Russia for the lands around Baltics (1700-1721), and demand for such a defense was obvious.
Besides that, for over 300 years history, Kronstadt became Saint Petersburg's main port, the seat of the Russian Admiralty and the base of the Russian Baltic Fleet with a population of 43,000 residents.
Nowadays, with a development of modern weapons, artillery of Kronstadt fortifications became outdates and de-militarized. But with getting a public access to all those forts, it's a great time to learn more about Kronstadt. In the summer time it's going to be the whole series of the videos.
This video about the first lighthouse museum of Russia founded in a former army barracks of 1868 at Fort Konstantin is the beginning.
Lighthouse Museum was founded in July 2017 by initiative of a true fan of lighthouses.
