Storming at Oschakov: A Pivotal Moment in Russian History This evocative image captures the intensity and chaos of the Storming of Oschakov, a pivotal moment in Russian history that took place on July 14, 1790. The scene depicts Russian forces, led by Prince Grigori Potemkin, launching a fierce assault on the defenses of the fortified town of Oschakov, located on the shores of the Black Sea. Prince Potemkin, a favorite of Catherine the Great, had been sent to the Crimea to quell a rebellion and secure Russian control over the region. The fortress at Oschakov, held by the Ottoman Turks and their Crimean Tatar allies, had proven to be a formidable obstacle. After a prolonged siege, Potemkin ordered his troops to storm the walls, igniting a fierce battle that would last for hours. The photograph, taken from a bird's-eye view, shows the Russian forces charging forward, their flags unfurled, as they breach the fortifications. The defenders, seen in the foreground, are shown in disarray, some attempting to make a last stand while others flee for their lives. The smoke from the explosions and the flames from the burning buildings add to the sense of chaos and destruction. This image offers a glimpse into the raw power and determination of the Russian forces under Potemkin, who ultimately emerged victorious in the battle. The Storming of Oschakov marked a significant turning point in the Russian conquest of the Crimea and helped to secure the region for the Russian Empire. The photograph is a powerful reminder of the rich and complex history of Russia and its people, and serves as a testament to the indomitable spirit of those who fought and died in the name of their country.
