[RedStar] In 2023, November 19 marked the 253rd anniversary of the birth of the outstanding Russian navigator and geographer Ivan Fedorovich Kruzenshtern (1770–1846). By this date, the Presidential Library's collections contain a large number of materials dedicated to the glorious leader of the first Russian round-the-world expedition, the author of the first scientific works on maritime affairs, admiral, and subsequently director of the Naval Cadet Corps.
