⚓⛪🤴🏻☦️🏰🇷🇺 On a day like today, May 18th, but in 1704, on Kotlin Island, Peter I founded a walled city, the port city of Kronstadt located in the Gulf of Finland, 71 kilometers far from Saint Petersburg.
To implement the idea of Russia's outlet to the sea and the protection of the Neva Bay and of St. Petersburg from Swedish ships, Peter I decided to construct a fortress near the future capital. The emperor immediately appreciated the enormous strategic importance of Kotlin Island. In 1703, after the departure of the Swedish squadron to Vyborg to spend there the winter, Peter I began building a fortress on the island.
Model of the fortress was made by the emperor, and the construction was entrusted to Alexander Menshikov. By the end of 1704, a wooden three-storey tower with earthen mounds was built in the shallows near Kotlin. Wooden logs, filled with stones, which lowered into the water served as the foundation for its walls. The new fortress was armed with 14 guns, and to better protect the passage, a battery numbering 60 guns was built on the island itself.
During the Northern War of 1700-1721, the fortress repeatedly repulsed the attacks of the fleet of Sweden, and in 1720s it became the main base of the Baltic Fleet.
During the Great Patriotic War (Second World War), Kronstadt played a crucial role in the defense of Leningrad (Saint Petersburg). The heroic inhabitants of the island did not allow the N***s to invade Leningrad from the Gulf of Finland.
Kronstadt has more than 300 historical and cultural monuments; one of the most impressive is the Naval Cathedral. The town is included in the UNESCO Heritage list.

The contemporary history of the Tobolsk Museum-Reserve was launched in 2007, in a period of new development. It happened due to a radical change in the exhibition's concept, focused on the maximum use of resources.

As a part of the museum complex in 2018 was established the first museum in Russia, dedicated entirely to Emperor Nicholas II and his family. It is located in the former governor’s mansion where the emperor Nicholas II and his family were held under house-arrest between August 1917 and April 1918.
The most valuable are collections of ethnography, archeology, paleontology, manuscripts, and early printed books, handicrafts (including art bone carving), a photo collection, and items of the Romanov family.
