This article was designed to report the results of investigation of admiral F.F. Ushakov’s skeleton. The study was initiated in 1944 by professor M.M. Gerasimov, a famous Russian anthropologist, with the purpose of reconstructing the live appearance of the admiral based on his skull structure in connection with the establishment of the order and the medal named after Ushakov. The investigations continued for a long period thereafter . The author of the present publication joined it in 1999-2000 in connection with the anticipated canonization of admiral Ushakov. The study was completed 9 years after the glorification of the admiral F.F. Ushakov (August 4–5, 2001) on the occasion of the discovery of his fragmented re-mains at the former burial place in the Sanaksar monastery.
