Comment
Date of issue: 28 APR 1993The first Russian voyage around the globe took place in 1803-1806 with the purpose of establishing trade contacts with China and Japan and finding routes to ship cargoes to the Russian possessions in North America and the Far East. Putting out from Kronstadt, the "Nadezhda", commanded by Admiral Ivan Krusenstern (1770-1846), who led the expedition, and the "Neva", commanded by Captain Yuri Lisyansky (1773-1837), doubled Cape Horn and reached the North Pacific. A part of the route the ships sailed by separate ways. Both captains compiled detailed accounts of the voyage and atlases. They are immortalised in geographical names. The bold voyage was enthusiastically supported by Russia's State Chancellor Count Nikolai Rumyantsev.
