Abstract

The events of the military-historical chronicle "Tsushima" unfold against the backdrop of one of the world's greatest naval battles. For about 30 years, A.S. Novikov-Priboy (1877-1944) collected materials for his epic - during the campaign and the Battle of Tsushima on the battleship "Eagle", in Japanese captivity, and upon returning to his homeland - underground, in exile, having studied many archives, talked with participants in the events. The writer managed to recreate vivid, memorable pictures of the battle, and most importantly, tell about the unprecedented feat of Russian sailors heroically fighting and dying in an unequal battle.
