It was in his opening
speech at the so-called first International Anti-Fascist
Congress in the Patriot Park in Moscow on Saturday that Defense Minister Sergei
Shoigu announced that “Ivan Gren” would embark on
the agitation-propaganda cruise entitled “The Power is in Truth.”
Shoigu said
the tour will be a first-of-its-kind.
“Within
its framework, the “Ivan Gren” large landing ship will make a voyage
along the Northern Sea Route and enter remote cities and garrisons,” the
Defense Minister said.
Sergei
Shoigu continued by calling on the international community to unite
efforts in the fight against Nazism.
Up North
in Severomorsk, where the voyage started, Deputy Commander of the Northern
Fleet, Rear Admiral Igor Kurochkin, continued the short-circuited
nonsense.
“The main
thing that we want to say with this move is that we warmly and sincerely
support our servicemen who courageously and heroically solve the tasks of the
special military operation,” Kurochkin said as quoted by the navy’s
press-service.

One of the
huge banners on the warship shows an aggressive American fist being stopped by
a defending Russian fist. On the sides are photos of small children wearing
military helmets and uniforms.
Monday’s
event in the port of Severomorsk is not unique. Across Russia are
schoolchildren and preschoolers participating in various demonstrations in
support of the war on Ukraine. Emotional pictures of weaponized children are
used to legitimize the brutal war crimes launched by the regime in Moscow.

On board
the “Ivan
Gren” was both schoolchildren from the Murmansk Nakhimov Naval
School and teenagers with Yunarmiya, the military-patriotic movement associated
with, and financed by Russia’s Defense Ministry.
One of the
banners reads: “For (Za) Memory, Truth and Victory!!!”
First port
call for the agitation-propaganda sailing is Kandalaksha on the southern shores
of the Kola Peninsula. Locals will on August 24th be welcomed onboard to see
the exhibitions of weaponry and told stories about how soldiers with the
Northern Fleet are heroically fighting for the fatherland in Ukraine.
On display
in the hangars and rooms that normally carries tanks and attack helicopters are
models of nuclear submarines, aircraft, warships and other military gear. The
Northern Fleet’s naval orchestra will perform patriotic compositions and the “Ivan
Gren” even bring a song and dance ensemble from Severomorsk.

Second
stop on the route is Arkhangelsk, from August 28 to September 1.
Thereafter,
the ship sails north across the Barents Sea to Belushaya Guba, the largest
military settlement on Novaya Zemlya where Russia in the course of the last few
years has modernized the airfield to accommodate fighter jets and anti-aircraft
missile systems.
The second
stage of the voyage starts on September 19 and will take place in the western
part of the Northern Sea Route with Dikson as first stop and Dudinka by the
Yenisei River as next port call.
The press
service of the Northern Fleet stresses that children and
Yunarmiya teenagers will take part in additional events.
