Description

"Boys with Bows" is Valentin Pikul’s autobiographical work. The book’s plot is based on real historical events and facts. In many ways, it was precisely thanks to this work that the memory of the legendary Navy cadet school was preserved—information about which after the war was almost entirely lost. The events described in the novella unfold around the construction and organization of the cadet school on the Solovetsky Islands. The opening of this educational institution, located in the island archipelago in the White Sea, was aimed at training personnel so necessary for the Soviet Navy.
