Sailor of the destroyer Bespokoiny. Baltiysk, 2012. The painting was created from life during the summer open-air practice of the battle-historical workshop of Professor and People's Artist of Russia N. N. Solomin. The uniqueness of the students' open-air practice at the academic workshop was that for two whole weeks the students lived at the military base in the historical city of the glory of Russian arms Baltiysk, wrote and drew from life the military base, sailors and officers of the ship, attended morning and evening formations, visited museums and historical surroundings of Baltiysk, Kaliningrad. It was interesting and exciting to see the territories of East Prussia, which were sworn to the Russian Empire in the 18th century. It was also important for the artist to visit Kaliningrad-Königsberg during the open-air session, the resting place of a professor at the University of Königsberg, a German philosopher and one of the central thinkers of the Enlightenment, a loyal subject of the Russian Empire, and a full member of the St. Petersburg Imperial Academy of Sciences. In 2000, the destroyer Bespokoyny arrived in the UK as part of a friendly visit by President Vladimir Putin of the Russian Federation. Prince Philip of Edinburgh boarded the ship, where he was warmly welcomed by the President of Russia and the ship's crew. As a token of appreciation for this significant event, the ship's captain received a gift from Prince Philip in the form of an honorary plaque featuring the coats of arms of British counties. At the moment, the restless is moored in St. Petersburg as a floating museum, and new ships are in the Baltic, as time requires ships to be changed for new more modern ones. The author of this sketch will forever keep in his heart those memorable days of life and work on the ship in Baltiysk.
