Another facinating and informative video presented by Igor. I thoroughly enjoy learning about this medal that I knew very little about. I look forward to more of Igor's videos.

Thanks again for another interesting video! Would be interesting to discuss the difference in awarding between the Ushakov and Nakhimov awards in your future video about the Nakhimov medal.

Thanks for your suggestion! We will address this to some extent in the Part 2 on the Ushakov Medal which is coming up next. In it, I will show some specific examples of award recommendations. It may be interesting for our viewers to see how the decision was made on what decoration to award.

Хотелось бы услышать эту лекцию на русском языке, делайте на русском языке хоть маленькие ролики посвящённые матчасти, истрию учреждения мы и так можем найти и почитать!!!

Спасибо за интерес к каналу. К сожалению, пока не представляется возможным делать дополнительные видео на русском языке просто из-за недостатка времени. Может быть, в будущем попробуем. Но ведь можно пока попытаться использовать субтитры и онлайн переводчик? Мы выпускаем новый эпизод каждое воскресенье в 6:00 по Нью-Йоркскому времени.
