The book is devoted to the uniforms, equipment and personal weapons of the Russian Navy during the reign of Emperors Alexander III and Nicholas II, as well as the period of the Provisional Government, i.e. from March 1881 to October 1917. During the mentioned epoch the fleet was actively developing, which entailed various organizational and staff innovations. Whole categories of naval ranks appeared, such as fleet conductors and ship's midshipmen. The naval corps and the system of naval education were repeatedly reformed. All this had a significant impact on the uniforms and insignia of military sailors. The book is a logical continuation of the book "Uniforms of the Russian Navy. 1855-1881". The second volume includes information about the uniforms of the marine department corps, naval educational institutions, naval conductors and ship's midshipmen, some other categories of naval officials, chapters devoted to personal weapons and equipment of military sailors, as well as descriptions of the rules for wearing various forms of uniforms, orders and insignia. When writing the book, normative documents of the naval department, reference literature of that time, as well as archival materials were used. Graphic documents from archival funds, historical photo-documents of the late XIX - early XX century, as well as photographs of authentic items from domestic and foreign museum and private collections were used as illustrations. Much of the information is published for the first time.
