8 September marked the fifth anniversary of the Varyag Memorial Complex in the Lendalfoot village (Scotland). This event was arranged with organizational and financial support of the Varyag Cruiser Charity Fund (President – M.V. Slipenchuk) and METROPOL Group of Companies.
The feat of the Russian sailors inspires deep respect and admiration. Their names are engraved forever in the history of our Motherland.
