Description: First hand account by Captain Vladimir Semenoff, a member of the Rozhestvensky faction.
Japan's victory over the Russian Navy at the 1905 Battle of Tsushima deeply divided the Russian military establishment and triggered a series of accusations against officers who took part. In later years, much blame was unfairly placed on Rear Admiral Nebogatov, the battle's third in command, and it should be remembered that Captain Semenov belonged to the pro-Rozhestvensky faction. As such, he not unreasonably (for he made a very good case) sought to clear the name of his commander, although he did not resort to the harsh extremes committed by other officers. In reality, much of the blame for defeat lay on the Russian Naval Ministry, whose faulty planning placed the entire Russian fleet in the gravest peril. Despite his occasional agenda when discussing fellow officers, Semenoff's first hand account of the actual combat remains an excellent description of pre-dreadnought naval warfare.
