The book of the academician of the St. Petersburg Imperial Academy of Sciences N.F. Dubrovin (1837-1904) returns us to the very heroic page of the Russian war with the European coalition of 1853-1856. This war, which went down in history under the name of the Crimean, was, in fact, the first attempt in the new time of the violent dismemberment of our country.
Courage and readiness for the feat, the faith and kindness of Russian people with admiration and love are described against the backdrop of the real paintings of the defense of Sevastopol. The author’s views on the causes, move and results of the war, which have long been distorted for the sake of political interests, will undoubtedly interest the modern reader who thinks about the fate of the Fatherland.
A bright and substantial preface belonging to the pen of a professor of Tauride National University V.P. Kazarin makes the book extremely relevant. The book is supplemented by the text of the Paris treatise in 1856 (commentary of Academician M.P. Pogodin) and portraits of the war participants.
