Sulmenev Ivan Savich
(07.01.1771–22.05.1851)
Russian admiral.
In 1787, a year after entering the naval cadet corps, then in
Kronstadt, he was promoted to midshipmen and assigned to the Ezekiel
ship in the Baltic Sea.
Already as a midshipman, in 1789, on the ship "Chesma" made the
trip Copenhagen – Revel – Kronstadt.
In the spring of 1789, he participated in combat operations
against the Swedes.
In subsequent years, Sulmenev sailed on various ships, doing
gauging and hydrographic research in the Baltic Sea, went to
England, participated in joint military operations with England
against Holland.
In 1809, already in the rank of captain 2 rank, he received the
Order of
St. George 4 degrees for 18 naval campaigns.
During the war of 1812 Sulmenev took part in the hostilities
against the French.
At the end of the war in 1814, his naval service, which lasted 28
years, ended.
Then for 10 years with a one-year break he served in the Naval
Cadet Corps, and then 26 years in the marine audience, rising to the
position of chairman and the rank of full admiral.
In subsequent years, the Order of
St. Anne 2
degrees,
St. Vladimir 2 degrees and the
White Eagle were added to the Order of St. George.
Sulmenev was married to
F.P.
Litke,
supporting him, left without parents, support and in many respects
determining his sea destiny.
He was buried in the
cemetery of the village of Big Kuzmin, near Tsarskoye Selo.
During the war, the defense line of Leningrad passed through this
cemetery, and the cemetery was actually demolished from the face of
the earth.
In one form or another, only a few pre-war tombstones survived,
and among them, fortunately, Sulmenev’s tombstone.
His place was indicated to me by a wonderful person, an
enthusiast and a gratischer, a local historian, a necropolist Viktor
Anatolyevich Panov.
In 2014-2015
by
him
the gravestone was moved to the chapel fence and
put on a cement pedestal.
