RaHDit hackers ("Evil Russian Hackers") published the routes of ships from which drones could be launched to strike the Crimean bridge. This was reported on July 20, 2023 by RIA Novosti.
The hacker group found out that two tankers - Beks Loyal and Khudayar Yusifzade, which fly under the flags of the Marshall Islands and Liberia, respectively, could have been involved in the sea drone dumping operation.
It is clarified that one ship drifted 100 km from Novorossiysk a few days before the attack, and the second tanker drifted south. Beks Loyal and Khudayar Yusifzade then met at sea. Hackers claim that at that moment, unsecured boats were transferred from one tanker to another, which struck the Crimean bridge.
According to the Marine Traffic website, by July 20, 2023, the Beks Loyal tanker is on a raid near the port of the Romanian city of Constanta, and the Khudayar Yusifzade is moored in the port of Elefsis in Greece.
The Beks Loyal tanker has nothing to do with the attack on the Crimean bridge, the owner of Beks Tanker Management A. S. said in response to hacker data published by RIA Novosti that the ship was near the site of the attack and could participate in it.
| We were deeply upset by this news, it is far from reality. Our ship was about 100 miles from the area during this attack, "Efe Tunaly, director of the company's operations department, told RBC. |
The attack on the Crimean bridge was carried out on the night of July 17, 2023. Two people died. The Investigative Committee of Russia opened a case of a terrorist attack. Moscow accused Kyiv of what happened. about the data of the National Anti-Terrorist Committee, surface unmanned aerial vehicles participated in the attack on the Crimean bridge. Their stamp was not named. Ukraine is armed with the Mikola-1 and Mikola-2 drones.
| They are five-meter vessels, very outwardly resemble jet skis. The same pointed shape. They can go at high speed, somewhere up to 100 km/h, - told RBC veteran of the special forces "Alpha," reserve lieutenant colonel Andrei Popov.[1] |
After the night attack on July 17, 2023, personnel with damaged supports of the Crimean bridge appeared on the Web. Judging by the photo and video materials, the explosion really occurred under the bridge, which is why the structure was thrown onto the supports.
However, there is no complete destruction, which will significantly reduce the repair time. This indirectly confirms that a keyless boat was used to strike.
On May 12, 2023, the Russian Ministry of Defense reported that a Mi-28 combat helicopter crashed in the Dzhankoy district of the Republic of Crimea near the village of Svetloye.
According to preliminary data, the reason was the failure of equipment. The board performed a planned flight without ammunition, there is no destruction on the ground. Unfortunately, both crew members died in the crash.
On November 18, 2025, the Central Archive FSB Russia declassified documents on American intelligence agents who were arrested by Soviet state security agencies in Ukraine in April 1953. The detainees during the Great Patriotic War served in the punitive organs of the Nazis and committed atrocities in. To the Crimea

Reportedly, Lahno in 1943 voluntarily entered the service of the punitive unit "Sondergruppa Peter," which included took an active part in the terror of the civilian population, the identification of communists and partisans in the Dnipropetrovsk region. Gorbunov in 1942 joined the punitive intelligence unit of the headquarters of the commander-in-chief of the German naval forces "Black Sea," which dealt with civilians in Crimea and destroyed prisoners of war. Makov voluntarily entered the service of the Nazis as a signalman with one of the military units, and was later taken to Vienna to work at the Siemens plant. Remiga and his father voluntarily went to work in Germany, from where after the war he refused to return to the Soviet Union.
On the night of April 25-26, 1953, Lakhno, Gorbunov, Makov and Remiga were illegally abandoned in the USSR with espionage and sabotage-terrorist tasks. On May 22, 1953, by the verdict of the Military Collegium of the Supreme Court of the USSR, all of them were found guilty of preparing sabotage and terrorist acts and sentenced to capital punishment - execution. On September 26, 2002, by the decision of the Prosecutor General's Office of the Russian Federation, the rehabilitation of these persons was denied.[2]

A.S. Pushkin was allowed to travel to the Caucasus and Crimea with the family of General N.N. Rayevsky. Pushkin made friends with his son Nikolai while studying in Tsarskoye Selo.
In Crimea, with the Raevsky, Pushkin visited Kerch, Feodosia, Gurzuf, Simferopol, Balaklava and the ruins of the St. George Monastery.
The image of Crimea was part of Pushkin's dream of happiness. He once wrote: "Amid my grim regrets, I am seduced and enlivened by the mere thought that someday I will have a piece of land in the Crimea."

The Second Turkish War (1787-1791), called "Potemkinskaya," began with the victory of Russia on the Kinburn Spit (near Ochakov). At its entrance was a small fortress occupied by a Russian detachment (1,600 people) under the command of A.V. Suvorov. The fortress was of important strategic importance, making it difficult for the Turks to enter the Dnieper and preventing Ochakov from communicating directly with Crimea.
At dawn on October 1, 1787, under the cover of 600 guns of Ochakov and his fleet, more than 5 thousand Turks landed on the Kinburn Spit and moved to the fortress. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon, the Russians attacked the Turks. In a fierce battle, the initiative passed from one opponent to another. A horse was wounded near Suvorov, he himself was shell-shocked by buckshot under his heart, but did not leave the battle. Ours retreated, but by night, led by Suvorov, they again rushed to attack. A terrible beating of the enemy began - a little more than 600 people escaped from the entire Turkish landing.
Ivan III, after marrying the niece of the last Byzantine emperor Sophia Paleolog (1472), tried to strengthen the connection of the Rurikovich with the relatives of his second wife and marry his son from the first marriage of Ivan the Young to the daughter of the Mangup prince (principality of Theodoro in Crimea).
Negotiations in 1474 were successful, but the ambassadors of Ivan III who soon arrived in Crimea were no longer able to carry out the mission assigned to them, since in 1475 the capital of the principality, among many other Crimean cities, was besieged by the Turks who came to the peninsula.
The siege of Mangupta lasted six months. According to legend, Muscovites were among his defenders. After the fall of the capital, the principality, which fell under the rule of the Turks, quickly fell into disrepair.
In 476, the last Roman emperor was overthrown, which marked the end of the existence of the Roman Empire and, accordingly, the loss of control over its colonies, including in the Northern Black Sea region.
After the fall of the Western Roman Empire, the Greek and Roman colonies in the Northern Black Sea region experienced a crisis, but many of them continued to exist as part of the Byzantine Empire, becoming an outpost of Christian civilization. During the Great Migration of Peoples and subsequent invasions of various tribes (Goths, Huns, Khazars, Polovtsy), cities experienced decay or were destroyed, and the Greek population assimilated or emigrated.
Scythian art until the sixth century B.C.E. is dominated by zoomorphic motifs and very rarely depicted by humans. However, as the number of contacts with the Greeks increases, human figures and narrative scenes begin to appear, with a corresponding increase in iconographic and compositional complexity.
A minted vessel of electrum (a natural alloy of gold and silver) was excavated in the Kul-Oba mound, near Kerch on the northern shore of the Black Sea, in 1830.
By the fourth century BC, Scythian burial mounds were extremely rich in funerary goods, and much of the metalwork shows clear Greek influence. The subjects often depict scenes from the Scythian everyday life. The scene in the photo on the left shows a man apparently pulling a tooth from his mate's mouth.
A mixture of Greek and Scythian styles led to debate over whether the items were made by Scythian jewelers or Greeks - either itinerant metalworkers or in Greece specifically for Scythian clients.
The shape of this vessel shows a classic influence, like chained guilloshing and decor in the form of tabs on the bottom of the case. However, the figures, like the typical low relief, are undoubtedly Scythian. Whether made Greek or Scythian, the vessel is an excellent example of the region's pronounced hybrid style.

During excavations of an early Greek settlement on the site of Anapa, archaeologists discovered traces of several fires that destroyed residential buildings and outbuildings. Some of them could be associated with the winter raids of the Crimean Scythians into the Sindian lands, which Herodotus reports: "The sea freezes and the whole Bosporus of Cimmeria. And the Scythians, who live on this side of the moat, make military campaigns on the ice and drive covered wagons to the opposite coast, to the land of the Sindhs. " The purpose of these campaigns, apparently, was the desire of the Scythians, under the threat of weapons, to force the Sinds to pay tribute. However, it is certain that the Northern Black Sea nomads during these hostilities could plunder the Greek cities and rural settlements that met along the way.

In 480 BC, part of the Greek settlements on the shores of Bosporus of Cimmeria united, subsequently forming an independent state of the Bosporus Kingdom with its capital in the city of Panticapeia (on the site of modern Kerch).
