This collector's edition continues the collected works of the renowned Soviet historian and academician Yevgeny Viktorovich Tarle (1874–1955). A brilliant teacher, he possessed a literary talent unparalleled for a scholar, while remaining a highly respected expert in Russian historical scholarship, utterly devoted to historical truth. His popularizing style, lively language, and narrative dynamism, combined with strict, meticulous adherence to the facts, place his works on a par with those of the great N. M. Karamzin, V. O. Klyuchevsky, and N. I. Kostomarov.
The seventh volume of the collection opens with the first book of the two-volume "Heroes of Russian History," which brings together works dedicated to the glorious past of the Russian Navy in the late 18th and early 19th centuries. The volume includes: "The Battle of Chesma and the First Russian Expedition to the Archipelago (1769-1774)", "Admiral Ushakov in the Mediterranean (1798-1800)", "Admiral Senyavin's Expedition to the Mediterranean (1805-1807)", and the study "City of Russian Glory. Sevastopol in 1854-1855", dedicated to the Crimean War and the heroic defense of Sevastopol. These studies are based on a thorough study of a large number of sources, many of which had not been published before E. V. Tarle. The historian draws on quarterdeck journals, materials from the Admiral Spiridov collection, documents from the chancellery of Admiral F. F. Ushakov on the command of the squadron in the Mediterranean and many other archival materials, memoirs of participants in the events, official correspondence and private letters.
