M.V. Slipenchuk and METROPOL Delegation Visit Legendary Varyag Cruiser Memorial in Scotland

The village of Lendalfoot, Scotland, where the majestic memorial to the Russian Varyag Cruiser is situated, was visited today by a Russian delegation headed by M.V. Slipenchuk, Head of METROPOL Group of Companies, President of Charity Foundation for Navy Support “Varyag Cruiser”. The delegates saw the memorial complex, which was opened by the “Varyag Cruiser” Foundation and METROPOL Group of Companies on 8 September 2007. The complex is installed in close vicinity to the place where the heroic Russian cruiser found its final resting place. The memorial consists of a bronze monument, a memorial tablet and an admiralty anchor with a chain. Wreaths were laid under the monument. It is symbolic that the visit of the delegation and President of the Varyag Cruiser Foundation was timed to the fifth anniversary of the opening of the memorial tablet in Firth of Clyde. M.V. Slipenchuk noted that the main jubilee events are planned for the next year, the 5th anniversary of the opening of the entire memorial complex in Lendalfoot.
