The book about the battleships of the Poltava type offered to the reader's attention will tell about the heroism of the ship crews, on whose shoulders fell the heaviest losses at sea and on land.
From the admiral's salon and the wardroom of the Petropavlovsk, from the cabins of the Sevastopol and Poltava, Vice-Admiral S.O. Makarov, captains of the 1st rank N.M. Yakovlev and N.O. von Essen, lieutenants S.I. Lutonin and N.V. Ienish, midshipman V.P. Schmidt, junior mechanical engineer V.I. Belov will conduct a leisurely and military-like laconic conversation with us. All this will allow the reader to create a vivid picture of the defense of Port Arthur and draw objective conclusions without the help of commentators, publishers and the so-called new historians. The dry figures speak for themselves: together with the "Petropavlovsk" more than 90% of the crew perished, "Poltava" lost more than 63% of the crew of 631 people killed and wounded in land battles, "Sevastopol" - almost 40%. The sailors fulfilled their duty to the end and the equipment, despite the fact that these battleships were the oldest in Port Arthur, withstood the test. The book is richly illustrated with photographs, diagrams and drawings taken from various publications and private collections.
