Russian passengers on the liner Titanic
According to official sources, on board the infamous liner "Titanic" were several Russian passengers, namely farmers, traders and even the nobles. Under the cut you can find out how their fate. RUSSIAN REACTION
In Russia, from the very beginning is not set with the information on the "Titanic." The first reports about the tragedy appeared in the Russian press April 16, 1912, in the "Petersburg Gazette". On the fourth page of the newspaper was a small note: "The message from London. Crashed "Titanic" - a vessel which was considered unsinkable. All passengers rescued steamer Virginian, caused by the wireless telegraph. The vessel afloat and slowly walks to the nearest port Galiafan ».
Russian press has not only remained in blissful ignorance. Signal strength, which is transmitted by the vessel "Carpathia", the first to arrive at the crash site, only wanted to Canada. Only the next day the world learned about the real extent of the disaster.
And then it started ... Russian press persistently criticized the creators, a team captain. April 20 all the same "Gazette" published an article "Titanic" correspondent, hiding from us under the pseudonym Yves. March. The article is full of tragic pathos and morality, that one should not consider himself the crown of nature, "" Titanic, "died of a luxury. Builders did not think about the means of salvation ... Was it possible to conceive of some crash? It is killing the Titans? ". In the same issue author echoed another journalist: "Our icebreaker" Ermak "like a pair of scissors cut the icy crust of substantial thickness, and" Titanic "crashed into the boulder» ...
Criticism, criticism, and Russian passengers of "Titanic" word. Even in the official condolences and calls to the affected countries of our ministers - Rodzianko Timasheva no mention of Russian citizens. As if it was not them at all.
False information
Meanwhile, the Russian on the "Titanic" were, though their number is not known. Russian archivists argue that the number of passengers with passports of the Russian Empire reached hundreds. Writer Mikhail Pazin in "to Russian" Titanic "" refers to at least twenty. Rostov by Vladimir Potapov, a nephew of the missing passenger Ivan Mishin told of entire families, who sat on the "Titanic" to be reunited with their families in Uruguay - many people from the common people migrating to America in search of a better life. His record speaks for nineteen natives of Veselovsky district that France bought a ticket for the "Titanic". Their names: Eugene Drapkin, Gennady Slokovsky Mikhail Markov, Philemon Melkevuk Peter Naydenov, Michael Denk, Dmitry Marinko, Konstantin Ivanov, Ivan Minev, Nazar Minkov, Dmitry Nanka Alexander Radev Ivan Stanev, Timothy edges Nikolay Malinov, Matthew Zotov Evgeny Perkin, Vasily Plotosharsky and already mentioned, Ivan Mishin.
British archives say 52 surnames with Russian passports. However, many of these names are not included in the official list. How could take mismatch. The fact that accurate lists gone down with the ship passengers' names reduced residues on documents. In addition, the majority of Russian names written incorrectly - language features. So today, the fate of our fellow citizens on the "Titanic" covered with darkness, and eventually all the threads were broken with the death of his contemporaries.
Lost souls
The absence of the mentioned names may be explained by the fact that people sailed illegally. The ticket for the "Titanic" was not a cheap pleasure. Place in the third class cost from 3 to 8 pounds, which by today's standards is about $ 500. Inaccessible luxury for a simple Russian peasant. Or, here lies another reason? As if anticipating trouble, people are initially reluctant to take tickets for the new ship. Therefore, the company White Star had to throw some of the passengers from the other, more filled flights - for the sake of prestige. We do it in a hurry and do not have time to re-register all. Hence, the "lost souls».
But in the history of Russian "Titanic" there are examples out of the ordinary. For example, the case with Michael Kuchiev, swashbuckling young man 24 years of the North Caucasus. He went to America to "cut down the forest," according to his daughter, to make a "wife, a house and a horse." Naturally, he sailed in the third grade. On the eve of the disaster he had "something not eaten," why in the middle of the night woke up and went on deck to get some fresh air. But coming out of the cabin, I found that all the outputs of the third-class compartment closed, and the top is clearly going to panic. Somehow, he managed to break through to the top. But the man in the boat of the third class that night was ordered - saved only women and children. Therefore, according to Michael, he put on a life jacket and jumped into the water, where he managed to cling to a certain chip. Soon he saw the drowning woman and took her to a makeshift raft. Is not the history of Hollywood "Titanic"? His fellow traveler and rescued the crew of the ship came to the rescue with "Karpaty". After a long time he had been treated in Canada for the money the company received $ 200 compensation. Then he returned to Russia. "Too beautiful story to be true" - dubbed this event the foreign media. They have reason to doubt - not on the list when passing or in the lists of survivors, not even on the list of patients of the hospital, where he was allegedly held, there is no record to his name. But there is a legend which became the property of his relatives in North Ossetia.
Nobleman
Russian was not only among passengers, but also among the crew. We are talking about an elderly nobleman, retired Captain Mikhail Mikhailovich Zhadovskom. For feats in the Russian-Turkish war, he was awarded two Orders of St. Anne 3rd and 4th degrees, but the heroic past did not save him from financial problems. In 1911, on a secular reception in Paris, he met J. Bruce Ismay, managing director of the company «White Star», who recommended him to the place of the main cashier's "Titanic».
During the sinking, he as the chief cashier had reserved a place in a lifeboat because he was wearing a box office and all documentation. But he acted like a gentleman: the value of paper and handed the boatswain with the words: "I will stay with the captain. I have more than 60 years, and still live there is not much money, and without me they reach their destination. " And then rushed to help put women and children into the boats. His place in the boat, he gave the French third-class passenger Josephine de la Tour. She said the family Zhadovskogo about his fate - Mikhail Mikhailovich at the last moment slipped her hand a piece of paper with your home address.
When the last boat launches, passengers saw him standing on the deck with pipe in hand.
RUSSIAN JEWS
Some publications still published partial lists of the dead. "Minsk word" refers to the 19 Russian citizens, most of whom were Jews, who went to work in the New World. Here are some names: Simon Litman, Zelman Zlokovsky Simon Wiseman, Zelina Cantor ... By the way, no woman by the name of Zelina Cantor was not listed on the "Titanic." This is an example of a failed transfer name. For Zelin is Joshua Cantor, who traveled second class Cantor and his wife, Miriam. That night, the couple parted forever, Joshua survived. His body appeared in the list at number 283.
Among the Jews there are Russian and dark horses. The list includes the name of David Livshin, 25-year-old jeweler from Russia, who founded the watch business in Manchester. He bought a ticket under number 374 887, why is the name of Abraham Harmer. Why it was this conspiracy - is unknown. Perhaps he was not lucky outbid ticket with it. Like most of the passengers in the third class, he did not survive the crash.
"BURMA" rush to the rescue
Few people know that when "Titanic" sent SOS signals or CQD (Come Quick, Danger), among other vessels responded liner "Burma", owned by Russian East Asian shipping company. According to the captain, "Burma" was somewhere 100 miles from "Titanic" and the ship could get to the crash site after 7 hours after receiving the signal SOS (23:45). "Titanic" completely immersed in the water for about two nights. At 3:30 in the morning to help the victims arrived "Carpathia". "Burma" does not appear even to the appointed time. The ship plagued with failures. At first, they did not immediately realize what kind of a ship by the acronym MGY referred to, and when got to the alleged crash site, the way they blocked the iceberg. In the end, when the ship arrived to the place of death of the liner "Carpathia" has already saved those who could still be saved. According to the ship's log "Burma", the captain turned to the captain, "Carpathia", asking if they needed any help. The answer was not very delicate: «Shut up» (Shut up), followed by Burma returned to its former course.
RUSSIAN IDEA JACK Cameron
It has been a century, and the collapse of the "Titanic" continues to haunt the minds of the people. The tragedy inspired, about her made films, wrote volumes of books, composed poems. Particularly fueled interest inaccessibility of the sunken ship, which sank to a depth of 4 km in the ocean. Only at the end of the XX century, people had the opportunity to get to it. Leaders in diving to the "Titanic" became Russian scientists submersibles "Mir". That they own underwater footage of the ship, it is the "world" director Cameron had the idea to shoot his legendary film-catastrophe. In 1991, together with Anatoly Sagalevich, chair of deep-water craft, it sank to the wreckage legends, where the conversation took place between them: "Jack, - said Anatoly, - lately I have not seen any normal American film. Show, as then, in 1912, people sailed on the "Titanic", as they like it, they then behave during the crash. " "Yeah, I guess you're right, - said Cameron. It will be a love story ».
