On the edge of Russia’s great North, beyond the polar circle, the city
of Murmansk bears a 50 years old duty to train the future officers of the
Russian navy. Some 1500 kilometres (932 miles) from Moscow, Dima, Sergei and
Maksimilian learn the rudiments of a sailor’s life as young cadets of the State
University. On the occasion of the 1150 years of Russia’s anniversary, the
Chief Education Officer of the University started an ambitious project for his
cadets: an 18 months world tour aboard the Sedov, the world’s biggest sailing
ship.
