The frigate, "Shtandart", leaves the waters of the port of Piraeus before the start of the expedition of the Russian Geographical Society, "Flame of Chesma, in Greece. The Greek gambit." The expedition will follow in the footsteps of the Archipelago expedition of the Baltic Fleet to the Eastern Mediterranean in 1769 - 1774. The expedition will explore the islands of the Aegean Sea, which were part of the Archipelago province, formed in 1770 after the defeat of the Ottoman Fleet in the Battle of Chesma, and the underwater area in the places where the ships of the Russian fleet were based, and subsequently destroyed.
