Loshkin Sawa
Pomor, squeegee.
Born in Olonets. Years
of birth and death are not known. It
is believed that he was the first to go along the entire eastern
coast of Novaya Zemlya and rounded it, after spending two winterings
on the eastern coast. Sailing
time is presumably around 1760. The
only source by which information about Savva Loshkin and his voyage
reached him is the story of his friend feeding man Fedot
Rakhmanin, recorded in 1788 by Corresponding Member of the St.
Petersburg Academy of Sciences V.V. Krestinin
and published them in the "New Monthly Writings" in January 1789. According
to F.P. Litke,
the stories about Loshkin and his voyages were fresh among the
Archangel navigators back in 1821.
It is believed that swimming was in 1742. It
is based on a half-erased inscription on a cross, found by P.K. Pakhtusov on
the eastern shore in 1833. There
was “Savva F ... anov” and the date indicated in letters
corresponding to the year 7250 from the creation of the world, i.e. 1742
according to modern chronology. Pakhtusov
accepted the letters "F ... anov" for the patronymic name
"Feofanov".
