The book is devoted to the uniforms, equipment and 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. In this era, the fleet was developing very actively, which led to a variety of organizational and staffing innovations. In accordance with the tasks performed, the division of warships into classes changed, the organizational and staff structure was reformed, the submarine fleet and naval aviation arose. The number of technical specialists in the fleet was constantly growing, and their functions became more and more diverse. Entire categories of naval ranks appeared, such as fleet conductors and ship midshipmen. The corps of the maritime department and the system of naval education were repeatedly reformed. All this had a significant impact on the uniforms and insignia of military sailors, which were changed and supplemented in accordance with the requirements of the time. This book is the first printed work published in Russia, which examines in detail the evolution of the Russian naval uniform of the times of Alexander III, Nicholas II and the Provisional Government. It is a logical continuation of the book “The Uniform of the Russian Navy. 1855–1881”, from which she inherited the principle of structural construction. The book is divided into a general part, which discusses changes in uniforms that apply to all or a significant part of military sailors, and chapters on particular changes in the uniforms of their various categories (admirals, ranks 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 ranks of the imperial retinue, officers of the Naval Ministry, adjutants, ranks of the Guards and naval crews. When writing the book, both published sources (normative documents of the maritime department, reference literature of that time) and archival materials were widely used. As illustrations, graphic documents from archival funds, historical photographic documents of the late XNUMXth - early XNUMXth centuries, as well as photographs of authentic items of naval uniforms from domestic and foreign museum and private collections were used. Much of the information in the book is being published for the first time. The publication is intended for a wide range of readers - employees of museums and educational institutions, theater and film artists, lovers of military history miniatures, military history reenactors and anyone interested in the history of the Russian fleet.
