A wreath was launched from its side in memory of those "who had no place in their homeland." After that, stragglers appeared on the embankment, and the offensive of the Bolsheviks began,a fight ensued. The minesweeper covered the stragglers by firing from the water.

The music was specially selected. The following compositions were performed: G. Kitler "Expectation", Polonaise by Mikhail Oginsky "Farewell to the Motherland", march "Longing for the Motherland", Mozart "Requiem for a Dream", March of Kornilovtsev, March of Markovtsev, Antonio Vivaldi "Tango of Death" and others.
