MOSCOW - Alina Politika is one of 42 female cadets attending the naval academy in Russia’s Baltic enclave of Kaliningrad, but she knows she is unlikely to ever step onto the captain’s bridge of a battleship.
“In the future we can achieve this,” Politika said. “If we compare to foreign states, there are women serving on ships and we know there are female captains in command .” In the course of their studies Politika and other future female officers endure all the aspects of cadet life, including training in martial arts and diving practice as well as simulation of the captain’s bridge operation.
