Russian sailor Peter Ogorelkov died at the age of 27 on March 7, 1917, and was honorably buried by his comrades from the cruiser "Askold" at the old cemetery in Plymouth Ford Park.

In 2008, Russian sailors, along with a priest, held a memorial service in memory of Peter Ogorelkov.

The cruiser "Askold" was built in 1900 in Germany for the Russian Empire. With the onset of the Russo-Japanese War, it joined the Port Arthur squadron and participated in all its operations. The cruiser engaged in artillery battles with Japanese ships, protected its destroyers, repelled attacks from enemy vessels, and inspected suspicious merchant ships. On August 10, 1904, along with the Port Arthur squadron, it participated in the unsuccessful attempt to break through to Vladivostok. After breaking through the enemy fleet to the south, "Askold" planned to move north alone, but due to damage, it was forced to intern in Shanghai, where it remained until the end of the war.

At the beginning of World War I, "Askold," which was in the Far East, joined the Anglo-French squadron to combat German cruisers. Later, it was sent to the Mediterranean Sea, where it cruised off the coast of Syria multiple times and participated in the Dardanelles operation. After a lengthy repair in France, "Askold" arrived in Murmansk in June 1917 to guard Kola Bay. In 1918, the cruiser was captured by English interventionists. In 1921, it was repurchased, but the condition of the ship was such that it was more profitable to sell it for scrap than to repair it.
