This was in an interview with the newspaper Krasnaya Zvezda, the commander of the Baltic Fleet, Admiral Alexander Nosatov.

Nosatov noted the role of the Baltic Fleet in preparing for the expedition of the Russian Geographical Society to the island of Gogland, in which Vladimir Putin also took part.

The admiral said that one of the fleet’s tasks was to clean the territory of the island and the adjacent bottom from explosive objects.

“On the seabed, the crew of the minesweeper Alexander Obukhov discovered a whole minefield of German anchor mines that were destroyed on the spot using robotic underwater technology,” he added.

On July 27, the Russian leader plunged in the bathyscaphe to the bottom of the Gulf of Finland, where the submarine Shch-308 “Salmon”, sunken during the Great Patriotic War, is located.
