Soviet aviation leadership makes 1927 the opening

The Soviet naval leadership change of the late 1920s matters because Romuald Muklevich had served in senior air-force leadership and showed interest in aviation. His exact dates in command remain approximate because the sources discussed in the video disagree about the appointments. Carrier ideas began entering Soviet planning during his tenure, giving the proposal an advocate able to connect naval requirements with aviation expertise. The Soviets could provide space and enthusiasm, but German money, technical knowledge, and a surviving naval-aviation advocate would still be necessary to start the project.
