Officers and civilians from all over Russia with their spouses annually become participants in the ball: the best officers of the Black Sea Navy with their spouses, married couples from all the navies of the country: the Baltic, Pacific and the Northern Navies, as well as from the Caspian flotilla, civilians who cherish the traditions of high Russian culture, continuity of generations and sincere love for their Fatherland.
