A famous Soviet writer. State Prize laureate Nikolai Zadorнов is known to readers for his historical novels devoted to the heroic past of Siberia and the Far East. In the novel “Captain Nevelskoy,” a vivid portrait is created of an outstanding Russian patriot—an advanced man of his time, a sailor and scientist Gennady Ivanovich Nevelskoy, whose invaluable contribution to the study and development of the Amur region cannot be overstated. The author provides a broad picture of life in Russia in the 1840s and 1850s, describing in detail the stubborn, intense struggle Nevelskoy had to wage against the tsar’s officials to carry out his progressive ideas, inspired by concern for the flourishing and prosperity of the Motherland.
