The name of Admiral Pavel Stepanovich Nakhimov (1802-1855) is inscribed in the history of military glory of Russia. The graduate of the Marine corps participated in a three-year circumnavigation of the world, received baptism of fire in the battle of Navarino against the Turkish fleet, built and armed ships in Arkhangelsk, Kronstadt and Nikolaev, defended the black sea coast of the Caucasus from the Turks and mountaineers, led engineering work in Novorossiysk Bay, won a brilliant victory over the Turkish squadron at Sinop. Nakhimov was called the soul of the defense of Sevastopol — "Russian Troy" - in the Crimean war. His life and death are a vivid example of military duty. How did a native of the land Smolensk province become a sailor? How was he connected with the Russian colonies in North America and why was he brought to the investigation of the Decembrists? Why was he called the sea Suvorov? These questions are answered by the book of the historian and writer Natalia Petrova, based on published and archival documents telling about the life of the naval commander, who became a national symbol of fortitude and courage.
