The book is devoted to the uniforms, equipment and armament 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 developing very actively, which entailed various organizational and staff innovations. In accordance with the tasks performed, the division of warships into classes was changed, the organizational and staff structure was reformed, the submarine fleet and naval aviation emerged. The number of technical specialists in the fleet was constantly growing, and their functions became more and more diverse. 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 naval sailors, which were modified and supplemented in accordance with the requirements of the time. This book is the first printed work published in Russia that examines in detail the evolution of the Russian naval uniforms of the times of Alexander III, Nicholas II and the Provisional Government. It is a logical continuation of the book "Uniforms of the Russian Navy. 1855-1881", from which it inherited the principle of structural construction. The book is divided into a general part, which deals with changes in uniforms that applied to all or a significant part of military sailors, and chapters devoted to private changes in uniforms of various categories of sailors (admirals, members of the imperial retinue, naval crews, educational institutions, etc.). Due to the large amount of information, the book is divided into two volumes. The first volume includes information on general changes in uniforms, as well as on the uniforms of admirals and generals of the Naval Department, naval officials of the Imperial retinue, officers of the Maritime Ministry, adjutants, officials of the Guards and naval crews. When writing the book, both published sources (regulatory documents of the Maritime Ministry, reference literature of that time) and archival materials were widely used. Graphic documents from archival collections, historical photo-documents of the late 19th - early 20th century, as well as photographs of authentic items of naval uniforms from domestic and foreign museum and private collections were used as illustrations. Much of the information in the book is published for the first time. The publication is intended for a wide range of readers - workers of museums and educational institutions, artists of theater and cinema, fans of military-historical miniatures, military-historical reconstructors and all those who are interested in the history of the Russian Navy.
