Ninety years ago, in the summer of 1933, the steamer "Chelyuskin" set out on its first and, as it turned out, last voyage. The goal of the voyage - to pass the Northern Sea Route in one navigation - was not achieved; the vessel crushed by ice sank on February 13, 1934 in the Chukchi Sea. The sinking of the "Chelyuskin", the evacuation of people from the ice, the establishment of the title of Hero of the Soviet Union - these events became one of the brightest pages of the country's history in the twentieth century. But the official historiography was heavily distorted for the sake of ideology: some heroes were exalted, while others were carefully hidden in the shadows. Despite the abundance of publications, there is no chronological description of the Chelyuskin epic. The book "In the Shadow of the First Heroes" is a history of the rescue operation, a story about all its heroes, including those unknown to the general public. The conclusions drawn in the book may seem debatable to many readers, but the author has presented his version of the development of events, based on the memories of the participants and a solid documentary base.
