If you're passing by Oktyabrina she might even give you a headpat if you'll be lucky. Isn't that nice.
Today is the launch day of the battleship Gangut, who is better known as Oktyabrskaya Revolyutsiya or Oktyabrina. She was launched on October 20 1911 at the Admiralty Shipyards in Saint Petersburg.
