This damned war broke our historical destiny, ending the rapid rise of the Russian Empire. This shameful defeat became the prologue to the Russian apocalypse of the 20th century. What if the Tsushima tragedy had not happened? If Nicholas II had been warned about an imminent Japanese attack? If our fleet had not allowed itself to be taken by surprise and launched a preemptive strike on the enemy? Was it possible to win the Russo-Japanese War with available forces and means? IT IS POSSIBLE! In this novel there are no “misfits”, no fantastic weapons, not a single fictitious ship or military unit - and yet Russia defeats Japan. How? Read this fantastic action movie that turns the mournful waltz “On the Hills of Manchuria” into a victory march, and the naval command “EVERYTHING TURN” into the motto of an alternative history!
