History

Before the War, SS Lenin served as a passenger ship between the several Russian Black Sea Ports.

On 24 July 1941, she departed from Mariupol via Sevastopol to Yalta. Only 482 passengers had tickets, but many more passengers were allowed onto the ship. Also some 1200 soldiers of the Red Army reserves boarded the ship. She left Sevastopol for Yalta on 27 July, together with passenger ships Voroshilov, Gruzia and Navy Boat SKA-026. At 23:33 an explosion of unknown nature struck to ship and she sank within 10 minutes.

Only 43 crew and about 600 passengers were rescued. At least 49 crew and 900 passengers were lost, but the death toll could have been much larger. Estimates vary between 2,500 and 4,600 casualties. The reason of the sinking was probably a navigation mistake by Navy pilot lieutenant I.I.Svistun, who changed the route and sent the ship into a Soviet minefield. He was arrested and shot on 24 August 1941. Reports of an torpedo attack by a Romanian submarine were not confirmed by the Romanian Navy. [2]

gollark: <@!222424031368970240> If you're trying to make a sandbox which can't be broken even if you know it's there and are deliberately trying to remove it here are some things to watch out for- `getfenv`- `os.queueEvent` (if you run code which does basically any IO outside of the sandbox/with access to non-sandbox functions)- `debug`- `load` (it has some weird environment quirks)- `io` (due to, again, environment weirdness, depending on how you load the new FS API it might still use the regular one)- potential meddling with global APIs like `string` and/or metatables, to confuse your sandboxing codeand to hide it you probably also want to worry about- `debug`- `string.dump`- `error` (you can generate stack tracebacks in a really convoluted way using it, which could allow detecting the sandbox)- `error` (in some very convoluted way you can generate stack tracebacks using this and thus realize
