January 27 (February 8), 1904... Varyag... the events at Chemulpo... if you think about it, in fact, a super-cringe. Lack of will and lack of initiative. A hopeless, senseless and, as a result, a dry battle. Losses, sunk in shallow water and the newest cruiser given to the enemy. Belyaev at least soberly assessed the situation, prepared - trimmed the topmasts, did not attribute false victories to himself and was not afraid of his old "Korean" to rush before leaving... Varyag... the battle was certainly heroic, but - already absolutely meaningless. Legendary, covered in a halo of glory, glorified, decorated and... completely quietly disbanded crew! And Rudnev is obstructing the naval officers of the Republic of Ingushetia! Paradoxical? No, just politics and propaganda! But the living should know and remember, and not believe in fairy tales for adults.
