Eugene Tarle - Collection in 2 volumes. Gift books bound in leather

"The Russian Fleet in the Mediterranean"

This collection includes the works of E. V. Tarle, dedicated to the Russian fleet, created to protect the southern borders of the Russian Empire.

This is the story of the victory in the Battle of Chesma, the brave sea expeditions of Russian sailors on the Mediterranean Sea, the heroic defense of the Crimea and the tragic death of the sailing fleet in the Sevastopol Bay.

This is the story of Alexey Orlov's diplomatic victories in 1769 and the failures of tsarist diplomacy in 1853.

This story was created by outstanding admirals and navigators, such as Spiridov, Ushakov, Senyavin, Lazarev, Nakhimov.

"The Northern War and the Swedish invasion of Russia"

The author based his work on the Swedish invasion primarily and most of all, of course, Russian materials: both unpublished archival data and published sources. And then, setting as one of the goals of my research the refutation by facts of old, new and recent inventions of Western European historiography hostile to Russia about the Northern War and, in particular, about the invasion of 1708-1709, I had, of course, to attract Swedish, English, French, and German evidence, almost completely ignored by our old, pre-revolutionary historiography and especially diligently suppressed by Western historians.
