A DEATH IN VLADIVOSTOK

摘要

In the early morning of Saturday, 8 January 1921, a 32-year-old U.S. Navy lieutenant assigned to the USS Albany (PG-36/CL-23), docked some distance away in the port of Vladivostok, noted the time was fast approaching 0400. He took his leave from a group of Siberian friends gathered to celebrate the Russian Orthodox Christmas and, saying one last goodbye, slipped on his regulation overcoat to ward off the night chill and stepped outside.
