ZhZL: Nakhimov - Petrova N.

The name of Admiral Pavel Stepanovich Nakhimov (1802-1855) is inscribed in the history of Russian military glory. The graduate of the Marine Corps participated in a three-year round-the-world voyage, received a baptism of fire in the Battle of Navarin against the Turkish navy, built and armed ships in Arkhangelsk, Kronstadt and Nikolaev, defended the Black Sea coast of the Caucasus from Turks and Highlanders, led engineering work in the Novorossiysk Bay, won a brilliant victory over the Turkish squadron at Sinop. Nakhimov was called the soul of the defense of Sevastopol - "Russian Troy" - in the Crimean War. His life and death are a vivid example of the fulfillment of military duty.
How did a native of the land-based Smolensk province become a sailor? How was he connected with the Russian colonies in North America and why was he brought to the investigation of the Decembrists? Why was he called Sea Suvorov? These questions are answered by the book of historian and writer Natalia Petrova, based on published and archival documents telling about the life path of the naval commander, who became a national symbol of resilience and courage.
