Moonzund. The last battle of the Russian fleet

In October 1917, the Russian Navy acted his last fight. To win full domination in the Baltic and finally lock Russian ships in the bases, the Germans needed to capture the Moonzund Archipelago. The command of Kaisermarine extended to a slight victory, believing that our fleet completely demoralized suicidal & quot, military reforms & quot, temporary government and affected propaganda. However, contrary to all expectations, the Russian sailors had a frantic resistance to the enemy, soving another page in the chronicle of Russian military glory.
A domestic reader knows about this feat predominantly on the novel by Viktor Pikule & Quot, Montizond & Quot, and the film of the same name. This edition presents the main documentary sources that the writer used when working on a book is an outstanding study of the Russian naval historian A.M. Kosinsky, who has not been reprinted since 1928, and the classical work of the Moonzund Battle of Admiral Von Chishwitz, representing the German point of view . Comparison of these sources gives the most complete, objective, & quot, stereoscopic & quot, the picture of one of the most dramatic episodes of the First World War
