Image removed from public review package. Local review only · not public no-info · lighthouse_help.jpegIn this section we list all lighthouses whose condition is deplorable, lighthouses that require help and repair. If we don't help them, we will lose them forever!

The creation of such a section was prompted both by acquaintance with the dilapidated state of some lighthouses, and by your letters in defense of such poppies and requests for help.

There is also the opportunity to directly provide assistance to lighthouse keepers carrying out a quiet feat. You can read some of the stories below.

As part of a press conference on board the icebreaker-museum “Krasin” (international conference “Problems of studying and preserving the maritime heritage of Russia”, which took place in October 2010) it was reported that

“About 200 out of 350 domestic lighthouses and navigational signs on sea coasts are of exceptional historical and cultural value due to their unique engineering solutions. However, Rosokhrankultura is in no hurry to legitimize their historical status: only thirteen out of two hundred lighthouses are protected by decisions of the relevant government agencies. Meanwhile, state programs are working all over the world to preserve sea lighthouses as cultural and historical objects; many lighthouses are open to visitors and are in use like exhibition grounds."
