On July twenty-eighth, 1912, the schooner "Svyataya Anna" left St. Petersburg. The expedition under the leadership of Lieutenant Georgy Brusilov was to pass the Northern Sea Route to Vladivostok with one wintering. However, already in the beginning of October the schooner was caught by ice in the eastern part of the Kara Sea and soon began its forced drift to the north. The crew could not free themselves from the ice captivity. In April 1914, 11 people headed by navigator Valerian Albanov left the ship and headed for the mainland. Only two people made it to land: navigator Valerian Albanov and sailor Alexander Konrad, whose diaries are combined in this book for the first time. Fragments of the diary of Valerian Albanov, who became the prototype of navigator Klimov, can be found in Veniamin Kaverin's novel "The Two Captains"; here many other facts from the history of the "St. Anna", called by the writer "St. Maria", are woven into the context of the fiction narrative.
