November 13

The Day of Radioprospecting Troops


In the early 20th century a new way of reconnaissance appeared in Russia. This is a radioprospecting which is linked with invention of radio. On March 21, 1904 the commander of Pacific Squadron, vice-admiral, S. O. Makarov ordered naval signallers to record enemy messages by means of radio. Officially radioprospecting was established as a body of Russian intelligence service in 1909. But on November 13, 1918 there was the first radioprospecting unit which was created in the post-revolutionary Russia.

  1. Because of large-scale military actions, the problem of communication became very important in 20 century. But the first radioprospectings (telegraph)were used during the Russian-Turkish war (1877 - 1878). It brought a huge advantage in control of war operations, and it led to greater use of technical means of communication. As the daughter of the military man of Radioprospecting Troops, I can say that nowadays these forces play important role for peace all over the world.

  2. It’s really honorary to see service in such troops like sky-born troops or missile force. But it’s a big responsibility for you, as a soldier. You may have lost a chance to be a member of the community. There is a high powerful system of recruiting to the radio prospecting troops.
    As T. A. Sazonova says “Students, attention, attention Please” :D
    p.s.
    I’m going to be a soldier one day, but I want all this procedure not to harm my knowledge.

  3. Also this day Ariadna Vladimirovna Tyrkova-Williams was born. She was a liberal politician, journalist, writer and feminist in Russia during the revolutionary period until 1920. Afterwards she lived as a writer in Britain (1920-1951) and the United States (1951-1962).
    She studied in Saint Petersburg. There she married A. N. Borman, an engineer, and with him had a son, Arcadiy (b. 1891). In the early 1900s she became active among liberal opposition groups linked to Pyotr Struve's periodical, Osvobozhdenie ('Liberty'), and in 1904 was arrested while trying to smuggle 400 copies of Osvobozhdenie into Russia. Later the same year she was arrested again, sentenced to 30 months in prison and fled to Germany.

    Returning to Russia under the general amnesty granted by the October Manifesto during the Russian Revolution of 1905, she helped found the Constitutional Democratic party (aka the Kadet party), and in 1906 became a member of its Central Committee.
