Abstract

The monograph by A.V. Tolochko about the life and work of the former Russian naval sailors in exile in the 1920s–1930s is under review in the paper. The author of the book characterizes the legal status of emigrant sailors, their organizations, the daily life of the sea family, the political orientations of its representatives, their participation in political life, etc. The structure of the officer corps of the USSR and the Russian Federation until 2009 had much in common with the one proposed by the emigrants, as well as the modern system of retraining of officers. The monograph is of interest not only to historians of the Russian emigration and the Navy, but to anyone interested in Russian history
