About the book: 2023 / Tsushima - an unprecedented defeat of the Russian fleet, its pain and shame. But this is the final point of the Russian-Japanese War of 1904–1905, blurred by a thick bloody blob. A time of desperate bravery of soldiers and sailors and mediocre missed opportunities by generals and naval commanders. But could everything have gone differently - that is the question?! Maybe this main character with the shoulder straps of a rear admiral on his shoulders will try to change history. Will the attempt succeed, because the course of events is inexorable, and the Russian sailors are already doomed to slaughter. But it’s not for nothing that they say that death is better than shame! Vae Victis!
