Metallurg Anosov ([Металлург Аносов] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)) was a merchant ship of Black Sea Shipping Company (Soviet Union), a multi-purpose tweendecker type freighter with steam turbine engines and one of the Leninsky Komsomol class, project 567K.^[2] The ship was named after scientist and metallurgist Anosov Pavel Petrovich.

Information

• Only four ships of Lenisky Komsomol class ships had been specially equipped for the transportation of troops and weapons including long-range missiles. One of them is Metallurg Anosov. Length overall of this ship is 9.1 m longer than firs ship in this class Leninsky Komsomol. Also width, moulded depth and cargo hold's openings increased.
• The turbine-runner "Metallurg Anosov" was one of the Soviet freighters involved in operation Anadyr. And from beginning of the operation this vessel was not mentioned in the list of the ships involved in this operation due to was built later during the progress of the operation and made only one voyage for operation Anadyr.
• The maiden voyage of "Metallurg Anosov" occurred for a short period of Cuban blockade - the most stressful period as part of Cuban Missile Crisis.
• Only 9 Soviet ships were taken for transportation of missiles and their tracks back to the U.S.S.R. and one of them was "Metallurg Anosov". Only 3 Leninsky Komsomol class ships were involved to carry the missiles back to USSR and one of them was Metallurg Anosov.
• The turbine-runner "Metallurg Anosov" was one of the 9 Soviet freighters involved in operation to return Soviet missiles and their launchers to the U.S.S.R.
• Only "Metallurg Anosov" had not follow orders of U.S. Navy ship to uncover (to take out tarpaulins from) deck cargo - the missiles and their launchers. All other freighters uncover deck cargo missiles and their launchers as per U.S. Navy requirements.
• This ship took part in other hot points around the World as Angola, Vietnam.
• Staff captain (the main captain as muster of the vessel that was on board in the most voyages of the vessel) of this vessel Babiyenko N.Z. took part in military oprations as bosun during the Second World War, one time was overboard due to his boat was blown up during this war, later studied in Marine school as deck officer and captain, during short time was a harbour master of Yuzhny port. There is museum about this captain in his Motherland region in Ukraine.
• This ship made circumnavigations from Black Sea around the World and back to Black Sea.
• Main direction of this ship was Cuba during all years alife.

Specifications

Project 567 was developed at the Central Design Bureau Chernomorsudoproekt (CDB ChSP) in Nikolayev.
Major designers:

• Bohonevich K.I. (until 1956)
• Sidorov B.K. (1956–1961)
• Sibir' F.V. (from 1961)

Engines

Main engines were made at the Kirov Plant (Leningrad, USSR) and installed in the Kherson shipyard.
Power: 13000/14300 hp
The ship Metallurg Anosov ballasted speed was 20 kn (37 km/h; 23 mph)

The ship was equipped with a steam turbine turbo gear unit "ТС-1" consisting of double-case turbine and gear that were fed by two fuel oil boilers with steam capacity 25 tons per hour at pressure of 42 atmospheres and temperature 470 °C. Turbine power was 13 000 hp giving 1000 rpm at full speed. Gearbox lowered that number of rpm to 100 in the transition to the single four-bladed bronze propeller with diameter 6.3 m. Processes to manage by boilers and turbine were automated.

Self-defence

In the event of mobilisation this ships involves anti-aircraft guns installation on rotary places of dismantled cargo cranes.

The ability to use high speed gives possibility to escape quickly from chase or to leave the dangerous area in time.

Record of service

After the completion of construction in Kherson shipyard the turbine-runner passed sea trials during the three days in September 1962. The ship was commissioned by Black Sea Shipping Company on 29 September 1962. Turbine-runner Metallurg Anosov was the most high-speed merchant vessel at that time. The dimensions of the ship: length overall 179 m, width - 22.6 m, moulded depth - 16 m, speed - 20 knots (37 km/h; 23 mph).^[3]

After the signing of the act of acceptance the ship run to Odessa and moored at the pier. The hold number 4 was converted for troops transportation by the workers. For this reason the stacked bunks were built for 1,600 soldiers. The vessel receiver fuel, food, fresh water, marine supply and then went to Nikolaev for loading "special cargo".^[3] The military cargo Russian seamen offen named "special cargo" for secrecy.

Maiden voyage

Loading in Nikolayev port was carried out very rapidly. Оrganisational skills of Nikolayev port harbour master Nikolai Movchan were distinguished during the cargo operations. The technique and armament were loaded in the holds of Metallurg Anosov. Special containers with special fuel for missiles were lashed on the open main deck.^[3]

The troops were located in the hold number 4 of Metallurg Anosov at 23.00 LT on 3 October 1962. No one including the commander know that destination is Cuba. General Degtyarev was in charge of the Defence Ministry and held briefing. The general handed the secret package to the master of ship Babienko N.Z. at 00.30 on 4 October. An inscription was on the packet: "To be opened four days after the passage of the Strait of Gibraltar." At 02:00 4 October 1962, the ship unmoored and began its maiden voyage sailing into suspense.^[3]

In this voyage to Cuba Metallurg Anosov was carrying subdivisions of 51 missile division, 664 Missile Regiment including the regiment headquarters, combat support and service subdivisions.^[4][5]

Turkish warships met the ship Metallurg Anosov close to Bosphorus. After quarantine formalities warships accompanied the «Metallurg Anosov" through Bosphorus, Marmara Sea and Dardanelles to access the Aegean Sea.^[3]

There was an attempt of provocation in Bosphorus. A barge without any illumination and signal lights appeared at the board of Metallurg Anosov at night. In case the collision had occurred, the Turkish guards would have arrested the ship to expose the secrecy of the shipment. But this could not be allowed. The Metallurg Anosov took measures and avoided a collision passing just ten metres from the barge.^[3]

From memories of military servants who were transported to Cuba on the other ship named Divnogorsk in June and July 1962 and

... the bunk beds were equipped for personnel. Тhey were allowed to let out on the open deck at night only and not more then four persons on the open deck ... We were escorted by NATO ships, planes and helicopters ... Once day the captain of ship together with the commander of echelon climb down into the hold to us and said that NATO troops tried to stop the previous ship, it is why we need to be ready for anything. He said: "You are like the agricultural specialists and carrying farm machinery, but do not forget who you are." Then orders were given to petty officers to hand tommy-guns with a clear mission to prevent entering the hold for everybody. The tommy-guns were stored under the bed mattress ...^[6]

Together with difficulties with people transportation were difficulties with cargoes that also made problem. Mostly problems brought the refueling tracks and tanks or containers with fuel for missiles. Fuel for missiles is extremely toxic substance. The capacities with this fuel become toxic to the surrounding and the risk of explosion during the hot weather had place. This fuel tanks, containers, tkrack were poured seawater almost 24 hours per day to avoid an explosion from overheating. Mode and life of people who accompanied the cargo were heavy. They breathed toxic substances, were irradiated, and had sickness accordingly.^[7]

Fuel "heptyl" was carried in special containers which were omitted in the holds of the most common commercial vessels. On other ships loaded the missiles which carefully lowered and placed obliquely tail up, and sometimes made violation of all norms loading the missiles diagonally when was impossible to load normal.^[7]

When passed four days after transit of Gibraltar Strait the captain opened the secret package in the presence of the pompolit and the commander of echelon Sergei Verenik in rank colonel. The packet was burned after reading the contents of this packet. The packet had an order: "Turbine-runner 'Metallurg Anosov' has to follow in the Cuban port Camañas."^[3]

Soldiers and officers came out at night only to breath the ocean air. For them it was like a watch of true bliss after a stay in the hold. The lessons were passed during the voyage systematically - soldiers and officers familiar with the history and economy, customs and traditions of Cuba. The education with people was conducted thoroughly. It has contributed to the creation of a normal morale.^[3]

The maiden voyage of "Metallurg Anosov" occurred for a short period of Cuban blockade - the most stressful period as part of Cuban Missile Crisis.

The decision to introduce Cuban blockade was adopted by the Americans at the final vote in the evening on the 20 October 20, 1962. for the blockade was voted the president Kennedy, Secretary Dean Rusk, Robert McNamara and specifically called in New York for this vote US Ambassador to the United Nations Adlai Stevenson .

In the Atlantic Ocean close to Cuba U.S. submarines demonstrated floating in front of the ship Metallurg Anosov provoking the collision and went off course at the last moment. When the ship was approaching the Cuba U.S. Navy airplanes repeatedly overflew above the ship and sometimes zipping so low that it seemed close to crash into ship's superstructure.^[3]

On the 22 of October "Metallurg Anosov" arrived at destination and first rank captain and two colonels met the ship. They gave a new order - to proceed in the Mariel bay and presented an order with a stamp and signed by Soviet ambassador in Cuba Alekseyev A. (his family name was specially changed from Shitov to Alekseyev). One general and several colonels of General Staff met the ship in the specified bay.^[3]

As per International low a blockade is an act of war. In the same time deployment of missiles on Cuba did not violate any agreement as it is response action after deployment of missiles in Turkey. The decision to impose the blockade was tabled by the Organization of American States (OAS). Based on the Rio Pact, the OAS unanimously supported the imposition of sanctions against Cuba. The action was not called a "blockade". It was called a "quarantine", which means not a complete cessation of maritime traffic, but only obstacle for arms deliveries. It was decided to commence quarantine at 10 a.m. local time on 24 October 1962. So the US Navy ships established a US naval blockade around Cuba as a quarantine zone of 500 nautical miles (926 km) around the coast of Cuba.^[8]

October 25 In this connection the Soviet government issued a statement of protest on the 25 of October 1962 against the illegal actions of the sea. Captains of Soviet vessels received direction do not obey requirements of US ships, which by this time were concentrated in large numbers off the coast of Cuba. On the day of the announcement of Cuban blockade the position of the Soviet merchant vessels that made voyages to Cuba was as follows:

• 9 of Soviet vessels on the way to the ports of Cuba
• 25 of Soviet vessels at the ports of Cuba
• 37 of Soviet from Cuba followed to Soviet Union ports.

The atmosphere was tense to the limit.

It became known on the 29 of October 1962 that the U.S.S.R. will take out the missiles and other offensive weapons from Cuba. For this reason was allocated nine vessels. The order and timing of control by the US Navy for the withdrawal had been clarified in subsequent negotiations with the mediation of the United Nation. All conventional weapons of the Soviet troops was transferred to Cuban side.

The turbine-runner "Metallurg Anosov" unloading was conducted skilfully and quickly. As soon as the last cargo was sent ashore the captain of the ship Babienko N.Z. received the order for the ship to back at Motherland. But at the last minute the General came on board and gave a new order: "the sailing canceled until further instructions". It also became known that the First Vice Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the USSR Mikoyan flew to Cuba on the 2-nd of November, 1962.^[3]

Awaiting, uncertainty, a huge nervous tension wore down mentally and physically. It was necessary to have a huge psychological stability in an environment where the world stood on the brink of war and a mistake could lead to unpredictable results. It was possible to get a heart attack (infarct) in such an extremely stressful situation.^[3]

Events operation Anadyr was kept in the strictest confidence for years afterward and all participants signed a nondisclosure agreement.^[3]

Removal of missiles from Cuba

^[9] The Soviet ship Divnogorsk sailed from Mariel port with first 4 missiles from Cuba on 5 of November 1962. The missiles were replaced on the main deck.^[10]

The turbine-runner Metallurg Anosov was one of the 9 Soviet freighters involved in operation to back Soviet missiles and their launchers from Cuba to the U.S.S.R. The loading of mv «Metallurg Anosov» in Mariel bay including the loading of missiles and their launchers commenced after 2 of November and completed on the 7 of November 1962. During the loading U.S. airplanes flew over the port and took photos. Металлург Аносов sailed from Mariel on the 7 of November, 1962 and the same day after departure U.S. plane also made photos of this ship underway.

USS Barry (DD-933) remained on the line, carrying out patrols, until 8 November when, during refueling operations with Essex, the destroyer had embarked, via highline transfer, a three-man photographic and interpreter party. Barry, ordered to investigate a Soviet merchantman, proceeded to her station on the 9th and sighted the merchant ship that evening. She closed to within 400 yards (370 m) on the merchantman's starboard quarter, illuminated the ship's quarter and bow, and identified her as the Soviet-registry Metallurg Anosov. Trailing astern, Barry followed the merchant ship, heading east away from the quarantine zone, until morning. After dawn, the destroyer closed the merchant, to "obtain photographs of deck cargo", until late morning when she shaped course for Essex for refueling and transfer of photographic personnel.

U.S. Navy destroyer Barry and airplanes of Patrol Squadron VP-44 escorted this ship on the 10 of November, 1962. VP-44 achieved international recognition of sorts when aircraft LM-4 was photographed flying close surveillance over the Russian freighter Anasov during the return of Soviet missiles to the USSR. Anasov was the only Russian vessel refusing to uncover all of the missiles lashed to the deck. VP-44 aircraft verified that eight large oblong objects, which appeared to be missiles, were located on its deck and the ship was allowed to proceed. Newspaper “Utica Observer-Dispatch” dated 11 of November 1962 wrote:

When the destroyed Barry inspected the freighter Anosov at dawn yesterday the Soviet skipper refused repeated requests to completely uncover missiles lashed to the deck. But there seemed no doubt that they were rockets and the Pentagon said the count was carried out "without incident".[11]

Cuban blockade continued until 20 November 1962. Dismantling of Soviet missile installations, loading them on ships and withdrawal from the territory of Cuba took 3 weeks. When U.S.A. was convinced that the Soviet Union withdrew missiles, President Kennedy ordered to end the Cuban blockade on the 20 of November, 1962.

"Metallurg Anosov" arrived at destination port in Black Sea after 20 of November and probably was unloaded before 1-st of December, 1962.

From December 1963 to August 1964

The quantity of cargo was augmented from the Cuban direction :

• 20 of November, 1962 - The Soviet Union agreed to withdraw from Cuba the Soviet bombers and the US announced the termination of the naval blockade of the island.^[12]
• 19 of February, 1963 - The Soviet Union announced the agreement to withdraw the Soviet troops from Cuba.^[12]

After December 1962 turbine-runner Metallurg Anosov had to perform voyages to Cuba and Angola under the command of Captain Babienko N.Z. as mention in article abot this captain.^[3] Likely this ship visited Angola only one time as per flashback of crew member Grishchuk N.A. and he has the reference from Black Sea Shipping Company that the ship was in Angola in 1976. In the last years of XX century the seamen of Black Sea Shipping Company commenced to receive additional pension if the pensioner was in "hot points" during the Cold War and for seamen of Metallurg Anosov that were Cuba and Angola. It is why Cuba and Angola separettely mentioned in the article about captain Babenko N.Z. and also the Black Sea Shipping Company gave the confirmation-references to the seamen accordingly.

First circumnavigation

The first circumnavigation round the World of this ship was from 4-th of August to 16 of December, 1963 - to see the photo on the right that was given to each participant of circumnavigation. There are dates of beginning and end of the circumnavigation, names of ports of call, channels and straits through which the ship passed mentioned on this photo. Only the name of participant was necessary write on this photo.

Ports of call, main straits and canals during the circumnavigation:

• Tuapse - sailed from port on 04 of August, 1963
• Bosphorus Strait transit
• Suez Canal transit
• Singapore - bunkering
• Kokura, Japan
• Nagoya, Japan
• Kobe, Japan
• Nakhodka, USSR
• Panama Canal transit
• Santiago de Cuba - discharge and after the loading with sugar likely
• Montreal, Canada - sugar discharge due to from Cuba to Canada cargo was sugar mostly
• Baie-Comeau, Canada - loading by grain likely
• Gibraltar - bunkering
• Bosphorus Strait transit
• Odessa - arrival on 16 of December, 1963

State of affairs

Zhukovsky family.
To understand effect of special U.S. military subdivisions on the minds of Soviet troop, ship's crew and Cuban population the Soviet Union had to start ruzvedka. Can be really crew on one ship was in pannic and uncovered the misseles due to U.S. ship was close to that merchat vessel. This secret weapons commenced already was in force in 1930-s and if during Second World War the Soviet Union had possibilities to check development of it the Soviet KGB and Razvedupr had not the same posibiloities after Second World War.

To insert Soviet ruzvedka (close to exploration on English) into U.S. "Servicio Secreto" the KGB and Soviet Razvedupr had to find a suitable person or persons to which U.S. will have interest. It is necessary to follow one by one to understand situation.

The territory of Prussia was annexed by the Soviet Union at the end of Second World War. Started the claim about the territory to separate it due to it was a separate state before the War. It was looking like the territory occupied by the USSR. To acknowledge it as a part of the Soviet Union it was necessary to prove that it is a part of the former Tzar Russia or similar. Prussia was formed as a result of the consent of the Kings of Poland and Sweden. But local Poland nobility was not agree to gave their territory to Sweden. Among them were Zhukovsky family which was sided with the Tsarist Russia partially. It is means that partly members of family settled on territory of Tsar Russia.

Zhukovsky family migrated from Saint Petersburg to Odessa before 1905 and only two children, girl and boy, remain in Odessa before the Revolution due to parents died soon. The boy's family was formed before the Second World War and had three daughters, no sons. Special services of the USSR wanted to let know that they planned to restore a dynasty to enter the heir into the Politburo. In this case the political system remain the same and no more claims to the territory of Prussia. Of corse Zhukovsky family became interesting for the U.S. and G.B. special services.

For this reason the matches for the daughters of this family and their children were planned beforhand. The youngest daughter was married in September 1961. The husband was a seaman and his name - Nikolay. There are youngest daughter and her husband nothing know about razvedka from beginning.

About the ship and the Newborn.
The son of youngest daughter and seaman was born on the 29 of September, 1962. Yes, the same date when Metallurg Anosov was delivered to the Black Sea Shipping Company. Are the dates of born and ship's delivery accidental or planned? Can be the day of ship's delivery was ajusted to date of baby birth.

Seems the name of ship can be planned together with this boy-baby as Anosov ([Аносов] Error: {{Lang-xx}}: text has italic markup (help)) can be divided as А-НОС-ов - on English "A nose off" because on Russian "нос" is "nose" on English. In ruzvedka often use nicknames. And in middle of the 1960s the boy received the nickname "Pincchio". Already three sister ships of this class received names Metallurg Baykov, Metallurg Kurako, Metallurg Bardin long time ago and mentioned metallurgists worked in USSR. Next sister ships received names of other not metallurgy persons and suddenly again Metallurg - Metallurg Anosov. Anosov was metallurgist and governor during Tzar Russia and like this person's name was not used in titles of any subject or construction in Soviet Union in 1960s. Can be everybody on the Earth already knows the anecdote about "Soviet long range planning". Long range planning had place and in this ruzvedka.

Osipov and the master of the ship Metallurg Anosov Babiyenko.

Osipov is good known person in Odessa as he took part in the defence of Odessa in 1941, during Second World War. The city was surrounded by the Germans for 73 days. Osipov was the commander of the Marine Regiment that was rappidly formed in Odessa. 1st Black Sea Marine Regiment under Colonel Osipov Ya.I. occuped and defenced the land in the eastern sector near Grigorievka, Buldinki, Old Dofinovka on 08 of August 1941.^[13] Population of Odessa named this brigade as Osipov Brigade.

Nikolay Babiyenko completed Marine School and was sign on ib rank boatswain on the icebreaker tugboat in Odessa port before Second Warld War. Не took part in the defence of Odessa.^[3] Osipov Brigade was composed of ships sailors including civilian vessels of Odessa port. It is means that Nikolay Babiyenko was included in Ocipov Brigade and they know one another. Nikolay Babiyenko signed on the ship Metallurg Anosov in 1959.

Osipov and his family (seems his son) had contacts with Western "Servicio Secretos" that were under control of KGB and Razvedupr. It is better to say that was the game between Soviet and Western "Servicio Secretos" via Osipov and Nikolay Babiyenko. Can be U.S. war ship made pleasure for the captain of ship Metallurg Anosov Babiyenko do not uncover missiles and is better understand this action as part of the game.

Notable books for this ruzvedka

Necessary to mention that persons that were involved in this ruzvedka from beginning mostly read the book "And alone is a warrior in the field" (Russian: "И один в поле воин"), author is Yuriy Dolld-Mikhaylik, issued in 1956 on Ukrainian language and in 1957 on Russian language. This book about Sovien ruzvedman (spy) which worked on the territory of the enemy in the last years of Second World War. The main mark which readers understood from this book that wooman's name Rita (Margaritta) means the process of ruzvedka.

The next book, continuation for, of the same author was issued in 1964 and received name "Among the black knights" (Russian: "У чёрных рыцарей"). It is continuation for the book "And alone is a warrior in the field". The action of ruzvedka after the War was described in the continuation. In the last part of this book one Sovier ruzvedman already worked in one Western spy school as teacher due to he was caughted as German officer in the end of War. This ruzvedman had to run and to place another Soviet ruzvedman, which was a learner, on the teacher place the runner beforehand scolded that learner and was freandly to another person. Finally the learner was appointed as teacher due to was not counted as Soviet spy and the freand was under control. Here every reader that possible to scold, fight with another Soviet ruzvedman like show and do not make a problem for him.

The mentioned was used as two main rules during the game of this ruzvedka.

It is very interesting that seamen of Black Sea Shipping Company called the mooring bollard on the ship as "knyeht" (Russian: "кнехт"). And all "knyehts" on the ships were painted in black color. Who knew a foreign language compared the two words: a "knight" and a "knyeht".

Newcomer

Nikolay, husband of the youngest daughter of Zhukovsky family, was working on the Black Sea Shipping steamers Nezhin (or Nyezhin) until January 1961 and then Karaganda until beginning of 1963. He learned himself to dance the tap dance or stepdance before Karaganda. That was no Irish step directly.

Clinton has named two influential moments in his life that contributed to his decision to become a public figure, both occurring in 1963. One was Bill Clinton visit as a Boys Nation senator to the White House to meet President John F. Kennedy.^[14] The U.S. president John F. Kennedy was killed on 22 of November, 1963. Difficulty to say when directly Clinton's family was involved in this ruzvedka and anyway they tried to give unvisible support for the unguilty seaman and tried to play this game.

Also Nikolay learned himself to play the accordion, guitar and other instruments like guitar on previous ships.

Nikolay was sign on Metallurg Anosov in rank motorman in December 1963. His family name was not Zhukovsky. And his son was planned as a decoy-duck in this razvedka. The KGB and Razvedupr wanted to lead the seaman and his son like boobies or decoy-ducks from beginning.

Australian voayge

Ships of Black Sea Shipping Company made call in Australian ports rarely and most of Black Sea Company ships never were in Australia. This is the only call of m/v Metallurg Anosov in Australia, it is why this voyage was called by crew as Australian voyage. The captain was Babiyenko Nikolay Zakharovich during this voyage.

This voyage was marked by 3 verses of the crew members. The verses are difficulty to translate on English.

The Metallurg Anosov sailed from Black Sea through Bosphorus, Dardanelles, Suez Canal to the East. It is necessary to specify the ports of call and it is known that the ship arrived at Nakhodka port in the second part of February or on beginning of March 1964.

Nakhodka port in 1964.
On arrival at Nakhodka Metallurg Anosov dropped the anchor in Nakhodka Bay and was awaiting a berth for bunkering and supply. Some of the crew went to the city using a harbour motor boat. When crew members disembarked from the boat on the berth they made agreement to gather at the specified berth at mentioned time for repatriation back to the ship by one harbour boat.

After the visit in city all disembarked crew members collected on the berth to order the hurbour motor boat and surprised that all boats were hired already for local "brides". Anyone needing the boat had to invite the boat's "bride" inside the cabin of the ship. It is not necessary to marry. Every seaman had money and modern '"goods" from other countries and that was possiple to use as payment also. But each Soviet seamen is the face of morality due to the pompolit on board.

Hours later the angry crew members were picked up by motor bot from Nakhodka ship's agency and one girl-agent named Rita was on board. Crew members embarked the ship Metallurg Anosov and Rita entered in captain's cabin. She return on shore with goods. Still angry crew members commenced to write the verse about Nakhodka. It was written during the watches and in cabins by various persons and then ship's electrics collected the parts of future verse to combine it properly. Crew members could take a copy of this verse at home for memory.

Will not translate and write this verse here due to it is folk art that includes obscene words. When Nikolay refreshed in his memory this verse he also refreshed that the agent Rita visited the ship at Nachodka port. It is means the commencement or continueation of ruzvedka at Nackodka port. Already passed more than 50 years, the names of most crew members he do not remenmer and the agent name Rita he remember clear. And he was motorman in 1964 only.

In next days the ship moored, received supply and bunker and sailed to Japan.

Weekly checks on the ship and call in Japan.
Weekly check of crew members cabins, galley, storages was carried out by the Master (captain) or Chief Mate in presence of one more crewmeber as witness. It is the custom of every Soviet merchant ship. Due to one of weekly cheks the cadet's cabin was in bad condition. The Cadets had to give an report-explanation to Chief Mate in written form. And they wrote a verse as the report-explanation to the Chief Mate Demyanenko (Russian: Демьяненко). This is happened during Australian voyage and can be before the call in Japan. This verse mentioned here due to in future the Pinocchio used the same style of verses to write own first verse in the school during the short time and Western Servicio Secretos had not understood clear who wrote that verse - the Pinocchio or Pinocchio and Razvedupr had special radio canal to transmit text.

The crew members went on shore in Japan and photos dated March 1964 attached here. On the one of two photo crew members in Japan: Chief Mate Demyanenko on the right, Nikolay in the center and unknown crew member on the left (do not remember who is).

Call in Sydney.

Singapore and Verse about Coconut.

===Pole and a Doll.===
The "unknown small beast" was bord on the Kartomyshevskay street, 26, Moldavanka district, Odessa. This district was Odessa ruzvedka district in XIX and XX centuries, like ruzvedupr and ruzved school in Odessa. Every citizen of Moldavanka play in ruzvedka. So, mother of "unknown beast" aften explained the boy do not step or stay on sewer or water hatch. This old custom in ruzvedka had to be rehearsed to automatism and means:

• In case a person stays or steps on all hatch it is means that he ubder surveillance or shadowing and he let to know for others about it.
• In case a person bypasses or skips all hatch it is means that possible to come close and keep contact.

TV era commenced in Odessa in the end of 1964 when was built local TV center and TV tower. One tower was in Moldavanka on the Kartomyshevskaya street like radio or television and local citizens named this tower "muffler". Very often Kartomyshevskay street citizens summoned a television master to repair TV set and the master said to them that TV sets got problem in this area due to this tower. This tower was destroyed in the end of 1980-s or on beginning of 1990-s when the "beastito" lived in another new district of Odessa already. A local babtists chirch hose now on the same place. It is confirmed by article in Ukrabia Wikipedia: Дім молитви Першої Одеської Церкви ЄХБ.

Soon, when his grandfather and his uncle Ivan were looking TV, the uncle call the boy to come in front TV screen due to Soviet football team scores a goal when the "unknown beastito" is standing at TV set and is looking on the screen. It was like joke and when he took up a position Soviet team scores a goal in short time. His father Nikolay was a seaman, was at sea often and was not present during this zombie game.

From the birthday of "beastito" Soviet "Servicio Secreto" tried to operate over this boy memory due to they wanted to operate him like operate a robot. Often the "unknown beast" stay on the legs and his memory was partly closed. First time he cried when it had place. If somebody call the "beastito" to come close the boy made funny movements like losses direction to the person which call him. Due to this movements relatives gave the boy nickname "artist" - it is was his first nickname.

Next nickname was "Pole" (Russian: "Поляк") due to Zhukovky family was a Poland famile from beginning. He was really like a Pole: white сurly hair, easy visible eyebrows, blue eyes.

The wife of Nikolay took a teacher of English language to teach English the son before school, in 1966 year about. The English education was stopped after some months and soon the boy coud refresh in memory only one word on English: "a doll".

About one photo

Mostly people know that miners took first place in the mortality rate during during the works. But Soviet seamen took first place in the mortality during the works at sea and rest, vacation in case the death due to secret operations as ruzvedka, special traffics at sea. Of course this figures nobody demonstrate. This is information from the one non-Soviet "Servicio Secreto".

On right side of the photo:
Woman and two girls in identical dresses are the wife and daughters of chief mate Mozalyov (Russian: Мозалёв). Daughters often brought yellow flowers for the father. Mozalyov went to the beach at Novorssiyske, dived and was drowned. Tried to do artificial respiration on the beach and it did not help. Said that the cause was a stroke of heart. Perhaps this photo was taken shortly before the death of chief mate Mozalёv. In Russian and Ukrainians have a sign: yellow flowers on the separation. Nikolay told his son: "Flowers do not present to seafarers. Flowers present to men of arms."

When "unknown small beast" was a small child his mother put him in a bed to sleep and said to him "Close the eyes to sleet". Soon, his cousin-sister and one more girl Natasha from other family play him in the yard on the Kartomyshevskaya street, 26, Odessa. They were small children at that time and "unknown small beast" was the yuonger child then that girls: "Close the eyes!" - and he became like monument and was not able to go, run, quiqly move. In case that girl closed his eyes he kept Natasha arm by own hand like was awaiting the help or assistance. "Open the eyes!" - and he became normally child, and understood that the girls were laughing after that. "Close the eyes!" - he commenced to weep because he understood that they play his brain. And the same time he kept the arm of the girl Natasha in own hands.

From Cuba the ship back to Japan through Panama Camal to discharge cargo sugar in Japan. Then vessel run to Singapore to load caoutchouc. From Singapore the ship back to Black Sea and discharged cargo in Illichevsk port in January 1965.^[15]

Next voyages of Metallurg Anosov was from Black Sea to Cuba and back. One time during period from 1965 to 1967 a US old destroyer tried to reach Metallurg Anosov from the stern direction when this Soviet ship sailed from Cienfuegos. Metallurg Anosov was in cargo condition and increased speed up to 24 knots and the destroyer was not able to reach the ship. It was possible to run 24 knots for this ship but in this case had place very big consumption of bunker and risk to damage engines. It is why this class of ships did not declared 24 knots in cargo condition or 25 knots in ballast condition.^[15]

The ship also visited Alexandria and Algeria between 1965 and 1967.^[15][16]

The ship brought into Algeria, Algeria port, military cargo. When vessel is moored alongside it was necessary to work by propeller a little ahead and then back at the berth periodically to avoid divers actions against the ship. Also Algerian soldier with automatic gun was on board. One time the crew members heard the shots of automatic gun. The soldier was on main deck and heard the breathing from water. He fired into water and a dolphin was killed.^[15][16]

From 1967 to 1975 Around Africa

During the Six-Day War in June 1967 Israel occupied the Sinai Peninsula and the eastern side of the canal. The Suez Canal was closed for shipping between 1967 and 1975 due to the Arab-Israeli wars.^[17]

Therefore, "Metallurg Anosov" from 1967 until 1975 run around Africa and visited South Africa ports for bunkering due to voyages from Black Sea to the East. So the ship crossed again the equator on 24 of July 1967 when the captain was Kolesnichenko. The crew received Certificate of the Equator crossing.

According to another Certificate of the Equator crossing "Metallurg Anosov" commenced circumnavigation when sailed from Odessa to Cuba after Cuba in late 1969 or early January 1970. The ship passed through the Panama Canal and run to Japan. Equator was crossed in the Atlantic Ocean in March 1970. Then the ship passed around Africa and seems received bunker (fuel oil, diesel oil) and other ship's supply in South Africa port and according to the Certificate of the Equator came back to Odessa. The last port of arrival in this Certificate was mentioned before approaching of Turkish straits. Seems the ship arrived in Tuapse port due to it isconfirmed by document "Inspection of Tuapse Customs" dated 17 of March, 1970.

"Metallurg Anosov" skirted the cyclone epicenter, 8 points as per Beaufort scale, when she came back from Cuba in 1971 about. Waves ten metres high struck the deck. Big heel happened due to lashing wires were parted in cargo hold number 3 and cargo began to move. The ship was in danger, but raised alarm and deckhands under the leadership of chief mate and boatswain managed closed the problem. The hard work continued for more than three hours despite the severe storm. The cargo was lashed and secured by sailors team reliably.^[18]

In accordance with the Agreement about disengagement on the Sinai Peninsula dated 18 of January 1974, Israel pulled own troops to the East from the Suez Canal and Egypt regained control over the narrow strip along the eastern bank of the Canal.^[17]

There were several voyages from Black Sea to Cuba and back before autumn 1974.

US Navy and the Soviet Union Navy forces opened Suez Canal for navigation after demining, on 5 of June 1975.^[17]

An expendable material.
The "unknown beastito" joined the school on the 1-st of September 1968 and he was 6 years old on the 29 of September 1968.

Due to Zhukov G.K. married on Jewess in 1965 and his sickness in 1969 the leadership came for Jews in USSR. Brezhnev family become very powerful and wife of Brezhnev was Jewess also. As per rules coming from Tsar Russia the heir of the family name could be only not Jew. In case family has girl and boy, and both are not Jews the boy become the heir of the family name.

The "Unknown beastito" or "Pole" was on board of ship "Metallurg Anosov" between 1967 and 1971 when father bring the book "Pinocchio" from ship's library and he and father read it together. On each Soviet ship was library and the books were taken from the Black Sea Shipping Company. The Company specially ordered the books for seamen and of course not for children. From where the book "Pinocchio" joined the ship? This nickname become the main soon in foregn "Servicios Secretos" and in Soviet "Servicio Secreto" and KGB.

The "unknown beastito" was planed as heir of family name before his berth day. The oldest doughter of Zhukovsky family was married on the half-Jew and gave berth the son. And this cousin was yanger then "unknouk beastito". The "beastito" was planed for ruzvedka and also was named by Soviet "Servicio Secreto" like heir of family name to confus foregn "Servicios Secretos". For this reason he was replaces from one school in Odessa to another school in Odessa in 1972. If previous school was built for the KGB servants the new school was built for other aim. So Pinocchio become an "expendable material".

"On the Trail of the Bremen Town Musicians".
The Soviet animation musical cartoon "On the Trail of the Bremen Town Musicians" was completed as a Soviet animation musical cartoon for The Bremen Town Musicians in 1973 on Soyuzmultfilm. Citizens of Odessa were smiling when detective of this cartoon photographed by own eye-camera from TV screens. Residents of Odessa thought that it was possible if anybody was treated in Filatov Institute or swooned often. That people thought that Servicio Secreto or KGB were able to take photo via a "superman" due to special implant. It is necessary to say that secret special radio details factory, spaceships details factory were built in Odessa also.

From 1976 to 1986

The "beastito" was enrolled in Odessa High Engineering Marine School in 1979. It was specially planned. The "unknown beastito" could not swim. His sister-cousin told about his abilities to swim:
- "He has first place after an ax and an iron". It was good chance to get rid of him in the sea in case it is necessary.

During the period from 1964 to 1980 information was sent to the other persons on shore including Odessa personal and the "unknown beastito" via crew and his father Nikolay. The "beastito" and his father had not understood it mostly. In this case foreign "Servicio Secretos" did not understand who sent information really. Nikolay was signed off from Metallurg Anosov in 1980.

Other people continued game with the "unknown beastito" from 1980. Nikolay was signed on Metallurg Baykov in 1981.

The cousin of the "beastito" was married Jewiss on beginning of 1980-s and was taken to serve in the KGB or in the Intelligence center in 1980-s. And the Pinocchio again named as heir of family name as per rules.

When he was blocked again by Soviet KGB he had to declared that do not want be alive and wants to make show for all "Servicios Secretos" as they do not know about him everything. The Soviet KGB and "Servicio Secreto" was not agree to make this show and was nearly death again. He was saved by US and UK "Servicios Secretos" and by Clinton's family directly. They said stop to kill him it is interesting what he wants say due to long time they operated by his memory.

Here is very short breathing about mentioned ruzvedka.
