They abandoned their homeland, not knowing how it would all end. But they left their country with firm hope and faith in Russia's rebirth. They departed from Sevastopol defeated, but not crushed. This love for Russia, this loyalty to the Russian idea, was preserved in them, and they passed it on to the next generation.
This month, November 2010, marks ninety years since the departure of the Russian army and emigration from the Crimea. 126 ships received the army, the officers' family, and a part of the civilian population of the Crimean ports—Sevastopol, Yalta, Theodosy, and Kerch. In all, 150,000 people departed from this shore to points around the globe.

This we do with the wish that one day this former Commonwealth will be spiritually drawn together once more.
