Description
The novel is set in the mid-19th century. The main players on the geopolitical stage are the same as today: Britain, the USA, Russia, China… And on the line is possibly the most valuable prize in all world history: the opportunity for the practical освоєння (real acquisition) of the Far East.
The question is clear-cut: whose flag will wave over this strategically important region?
The game involves forces whose might is hard to imagine. And yet a small group of Russian naval officers under the command of Captain-Lieutenant Nevelskoy managed to secure vast territories in the Far East for Russia.
On the pages of an engrossing novel—historically and psychologically convincing—under the inspired pen of a master of Russian prose, little-known, and sometimes completely unknown to the general public, facts come to life; complex, many-faceted characters and real heroes of Russia who, in all times, multiplied its glory and greatness.
