About the book: 2016 / Kolchak was a participant in Arctic expeditions more than once. On the schooner “Zarya”, as a hydrologist and meteorologist with the crew of the legendary E.V. Toll, he navigated (for the second time in the history of navigation) the Northern Sea Route, searched for the mysterious Sannikov Land, discovered new islands... Later working at the Maritime Academy and the Naval General Staff, he published works based on the results of their polar expeditions. His fundamental work “Ice of the Kara and Siberian Seas” was republished by the American Geographical Society in 1928 among the works of 30 of the most famous polar explorers in the world! His scientific discoveries made in the Arctic Ocean will be confirmed in... 50 years by Soviet and American scientists. And this is only a small fraction of what the Russian patriot managed to do during his lifetime, thrown by the will of fate into the crucible of events changing the familiar world... Undoubtedly, if the revolution of 1917 had not happened, Alexander Vasilyevich Kolchak would have become the pride of Russia as a polar explorer, scientist and naval commander. It was not for nothing that his contemporaries recognized him as an outstanding explorer of the North, proudly calling him “Kolchak-Polar”. In our time, deputies and the public turned to the Prosecutor General's Office with a request to again consider the issue of the rehabilitation of Admiral Kolchak. This, in their opinion, will give “an impetus to civil reconciliation in a difficult period of geopolitical challenges.” But do we know everything about the fate of the repressed naval commander? No, answers the author, Doctor of Military Sciences Oleg Greig. The book was also published under a different title: “The True Fate of Admiral Kolchak».
