Tsushima. Part 1. The beginning of the battle
2023-01-02
Direct Translation via Google Translate. Edited.

Commentary by Russian military journalist Boris Rozhin:

Video is in Russian, but is translatable. It features a discussion of the beginning of the battle by Fedor Lisitsyn and Alexey Isaev.

[ColonelCassad] There was a continuation of a large historical cycle of military historians Fyodor Lisitsyn and Alexei Isaev dedicated to the Russian-Japanese war.

The new issue deals with the first part of the Battle of Tsushima - from the morning of May 24, 1905 until the lapel of the Japanese squadron, when Russian battleships led by "Emperor Alexander III" and "Borodino" got the opportunity to retreat to the south, but ultimately continued to follow the order "Course to Vladivostok which led to the subsequent disaster.



PS. I fully agree that the chapter about the death of "Oslyabi" is one of the strongest in the book of Novikov-Priboy, along with the chapter about the last battle of the battleship "Admiral Ushakov".
