Russian War. 1854. Book 2
11 hrs. 21 min.
16+ “Russian War. 1854” is a novel by Anton Emelyanov and Sergey Savinov, the second book in the “Crimean War” cycle. Genre: alternate history, time-traveling popadants (people from other times), historical adventures.
In our world, it’s called the Crimean War; the French call it the Eastern War; the English call it the Russian War. Some even use the term Zero World War, and there’s something to that—because the fighting wasn’t only in Crimea. The Danube, the Black Sea coast, the Caucasus, the Sea of Azov, the Baltic Sea, the North, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky. In this war, one way or another, all the great powers of the 19th century took part—and that’s also when weapons of a new generation first went into use. Sails were replaced by steamships, wood by steel, smoothbore barrels by rifled ones, a rearing horse by the telegraph. A real military revolution—one that people were not ready for, especially those who hadn’t yet gotten used to the new possibilities. And now, for weeks, our modern-day compatriot is simmering in this cauldron. What has he managed to improve, what has he broken, and what will happen when the first bombardment of Sevastopol begins?
