In Soviet times, a military garrison was based on the island, the spit was constantly being refilled, but now about 15 years have passed since the last military man left Shkota (then a peninsula). Nature had enough time to return everything to its place - the Shkota Peninsula became an island again. True, as it turned out, only in the summer - in the winter - with the “mainland” - Russky Island - Shkot is connected by a pebble-ice bridge. At the top, the remains of the positions of the coastal battery are clearly visible - one of many designed to protect the approaches to Vladivostok in the recent past.

Battery No. 982
Battery No. 982 for four 180-mm MO-1-180 gun mounts was installed in 1932 on Russky Island as part of the defense system of the main naval base in the Pacific Ocean "Vladivostok". By the end of 1934, the battery could fire and was included in the active ones, but in a state of completion (until 1941).
Installations of this type have a range of 37 kilometers. Of the several dozen MO-1-180 gun mounts that had entered service in the USSR coastal defense in three fleets by 1941, only four guns from this battery and another gun from the museum-affiliated battery No. 411 in Odessa remained intact.

KET. Fortress Electric Point.
In 1934, the Leningrad Design Institute drew up a project for a fortress electric point on Russky Island.
Initially it was planned to build it underground, but due to the complexity of the work, it was built on the surface.
Specialists from all Union republics came to the construction site. People lived near the construction site in tents.
In 1936, the power plant was put into operation. KET was a strategic facility, protected from spies and saboteurs by militarized guards and well-trained dogs. For these purposes, a canine kennel was maintained. The power plant powered the entire Russky Island. Three boilers ran on solid fuel - coal, for the delivery of which a pier with a narrow-gauge railway was specially built. A substation was built next to KET, which currently powers most of the island with electricity coming from Vladivostok.
Voevoda Bay. Protrudes deeply into the western shore of Russky Island, hall. Peter the Great. It was named in 1859 in honor of the corvette Voyevoda, which sailed in the Far Eastern waters.
Shkota Island is located south of Russky Island, connected to it by a dam. Surveyed and named in 1865-66 by M.A. Klykov, named after the senior officer of the steamship-corvette “America”, Lieutenant Commander N.Ya. Sheet.
Shkota Island is separated from Russky Island by a washed-out spit, with a water depth of up to one meter. In Soviet times, a military garrison was based on the island, the spit was constantly being refilled, but now about 15 years have passed since the last military man left Shkota (then a peninsula). Nature had enough time to return everything to its place - the Shkota Peninsula became an island again. True, as it turned out, only in the summer - in the winter - with the “mainland” - Russky Island - Shkot is connected by a pebble-ice bridge. At the top, the remains of the positions of the coastal battery are clearly visible - one of many designed to protect the approaches to Vladivostok in the recent past.
