On the dawn of February 7, 1920, members of the Irkutsk Revolutionary Committee put Admiral Kolchak on the ice of the Ushakovka—Kolchak, the former Arctic explorer, former commander of the Black Sea Fleet, former Supreme Ruler of Russia… The execution squad received the order: “Fire!” A couple of minutes later, Kolchak’s body was thrown onto the ice of the river.
The admiral’s last thought before death was: “So many mistakes have happened. If everything were to be repeated, I wouldn’t have made them… Lord, if only I could return to the ‘beginning of the path!’ And, it seems, ‘someone’ heard the desperate plea—alive and quite healthy, Kolchak surfaced in the icy waters of the Baltic Sea of 1914! Will the admiral be able to make use of his second chance?”
