Our compatriot had hardly had time to relax on vacation, being on a Vietnamese boat and enjoying the seascape, when suddenly the boat made a sharp maneuver, somersaulted overboard - and now he was already floundering on the verge of life and death in the waves of the South China Sea. In the distance, the smoke of some ships is visible, and a man who has lost hope of salvation desperately waves his hands, asking for help with the last of his strength. He is noticed and taken on board, but... The situation only gets worse: in an incomprehensible way, the rescued man ends up in May 1905 from the Nativity of Christ on board the battleship "Prince Suvorov", the flagship of the Second Pacific Squadron of the Russian Imperial Fleet. A few days before its catastrophic defeat.
