Шрифт:
The officer staff (of 'Hope' ship) was selected personally by Kruzenshtern, some members of the crew are his (Kruzenshtern's) relatives. Kruzenshtern rightly declares to the officers that he is the commander of the ship, and that he takes full responsibility for the conflict with Rezanov. The Imperial document is announced about Rezanov's authority. It (the imperial document) is formally recognized, but in the position of Rezanov this changes nothing, he continues to sail in isolation.
Psychological pressure was so strong that Rezanov did further way (to Kamchatka), having self-isolated, in his ship cabin.
"The explanation took place, but it did not bring relief. Rezanov did not leave his cabin until Petropavlovsk itself "[2].
However, in the aftermath of this conflict, subtle but critical changes are taking place in the positions and sentiments of Kruzenshtern and Lisyansky.
E. L. Steinberg the artistic - but very realistic - mentally created the words of Kruzenshtern and Lisyansky:
'I undertake all this, - Kruzenshtern has told ...
– ... having passed a third of a way, we have with glory finish our expedition... whatever happened and to what victims it wasn't necessary to come across!
Lisyansky has come back to 'Neva' in gloomy mood. (...)
– Yes! The officer has told aloud.
– Kruzenshtern is right: the travel needs to be finished with glory ... whatever happens!" [3].
In the morning, Lysyansky was a person relatively uninvolved in the conflict Kruzenshtern with Rezanov. But after the unwary words about the Emperor in the exciting atmosphere of collective trial, organized Kruzentshtern, he (Lysyansky) should accumulate all the forces for some kind of rehabilitation, - to what victims it wasn't necessary to come across!, whatever happens! The Troyecentricity mechanism worked: Yu F. Lysyansky had no alternative except obvious, distinct and undeniable success.
Still ahead were and a delicate diplomatic move of Kruzenshtern (the outstripping visit to Kamchatka), and the relative failure of the embassy, and the decision by N. P. Rezanov to get off the "Hope" ship, and the unsuccessful meeting of Rezanov with "Neva" in Alaska, but already in latent form appeared the unformulated decision by Y. F. Lysyansky, explicitly adopted later, - independently, with the highest possible speed to arrive in Kronstadt. INDEPENDENTLY! AND BE THE FIRST!
A question arises, to which there is no unambiguous answer: which option would actually be safer? Option joint or option of separate floating?
And unless arrival of one - one of two - the ship wouldn't be a success in eyes of the Emperor Alexander I? Even on condition of a non-arrival of the second? International experience allowed to believe: safe finishing of a sea campaign by one of the ships would even undoubtedly be estimated as a successful completion of an expedition.
But both ships have successfully arrived!!! ("we have with glory finish our expedition... whatever happened and to what victims it wasn't necessary to come across!"). Everything has passed successfully (that was in competence of captains): and both circumnavigations, and military aid for Russian-American Company, and trade, and researches! Russia became in one level with the leading world sea powers. ("Whether not early to be the Cook, the young man?" (The words of the Ambassador Vorontsov. Is quoted on: [3])).
But while Krusenshtern's ship "Hope" flies to Japan.
The magnificent diplomatic move of Kruzenshtern: Ivan Fedorovich changes the sequence of achievement of goals. For beginning, it is not delivery of the embassy to Japan. First visit to Kamchatka. Motivation is difficult to challenge: cargo needs to be delivered urgently to Kamchatka. Firstly, the Company's representatives expect cargoes, and secondly, the conditions of navigation may change. Rezanov is forced to agree.
Rezanov is morally disorganized, in Petropavlovsk "is starting to let off steam," begins the formal proceedings. Kruzenshtern is threatened with suspension, but Kruzenshtern makes a new powerful diplomatic step: he apologizes.
Rezanov, perhaps, would like to remove him, but the deadlines do not allow: the situation will drag on. It is already tightened: ships stood in Brazil an unforeseen time, when being repaired; then - re-planned transition to Petropavlovsk (instead of Japan).
Necessary to hurry with the embassy.
The captains had already shown their qualifications, and it was clear that the success of the expedition was real.
Rezanov could not boast of any achievements at the time of the conflict settlement in Kamchatka.
If really in Brazil Rezanov had sent in St. Petersburg the reports about the "disobedience" of the captains , he could expect some kind of response, arriving to Kamchatka. (This argument, of course, conjectural. The author has no information on the speed of movement of mail).
But in any case, information sources do not contain information about Rezanov's obtaining in Kamchatka any clear answers from St. Petersburg on his reports regarding the "disobedience" of captains.
The threat of captains ' resignation and the unclear reaction of the imperial management to Rezanov's messages were one of latent culminating points of an expedition.
Rezanov realized that need to "take back".
Rezanov accepts the apology of Kruzenshtern. The Embassy ends in relative failure. Japanese Emperor not accepted the gifts, did not agree on the establishment of diplomatic relations. In general, this was not some special failure. Such was the policy of Japan. Japan at that time "distanced itself" from all European countries (except the Holland).
