The memoirs of V. N. Cherkasov about the defense of Port Arthur are of special interest to the reader, because they, like the memoirs of P. A. Vyrubov, already published by us, written by a direct witness of those events, who went through the entire siege of Port Arthur and participated in naval battles.
His memoirs were used by the Commission to describe the actions of the fleet in the war of 1904-1905, references to them are available in the "List of military actions of the fleet at Port Arthur in 1904". These memoirs once again show the hopelessness and tragedy in which the Russian people were abandoned to their fate. With such a panic mood that struck the top brass already in the first days of the war, with their cowardice, meanness and treachery, all the defenders of Port Arthur were doomed from the start. Their mass heroism could only delay the tragic denouement ... Once again you realize that all the sacrifices made by the Russian people in that distant war were in vain.
