Before you, dear reader, are the letters of one of the best naval officers, Pyotr Alexandrovich Vyrubov, who died in the meat grinder of the Russo-Japanese War. His letters are also valuable because they are the only to date published testimonies of a lieutenant who died in Tsushima. The letters cover the whole life of a young man who came to the navy at the call of his heart from Moscow, far from the sea, from studying at the Marine Corps to service on the cruisers of the Pacific Squadron - "Rurik", "Dmitry Donskoy", "Razboynik" and the fateful campaign to Tsushima on the flagship battleship "Prince Suvorov". Letters of P.A. Vyrubov are, thus, a literary monument to the entire young generation of midshipmen and lieutenants, whose military career was cut short at the takeoff ...
The text of the letters is taken from the book with the same title published in Kiev in 1910 and supplemented with photo-documents.
