The Lomonosov Project and Chichagov’s expedition, which was first released in 1854, was based on the brief description of various travels along the Northern Seas and the testimony of the possible passage of the Siberian Ocean to East India ”compiled by MV Lomonosov. The publisher of the book, Alexander Sokolov, considered this work the most important of Lomonosov’s works. And today, this historical review remains very curious and politically significant, since it reflects the merits of Russia in the research of the Arctic. The project itself for a modern reader looks fantastic, since it implies the passage of a wooden sailing ship through the North Pole, but this does not belit the historical value of the study at all.
In addition, the book includes materials on the preparation of the expedition, instructions to its leader, captain of the brigadier rank Chichagov, the acquittal of Chichagov, explaining the reasons for the failure of the expedition, documents of the Admiralty College and Letters related to the sending of both swimming of Chichagov, as well as a description of his Travel.
Part of the materials of the book belonging to Peru Lomonosov was published as part of the collected works of Mikhail Vasilievich Lomonosov, but the whole selection of texts that give a complete picture of the premises, preparation and attempts to go on a sailing ship through the North Pole have not been printed since 1854. Texts are printed in modern spelling, with comments.
