Historical background and model application

The ship Varyag (rus. Варяг) was a protected cruiser of the Russian Pacific Fleet which became famous during the Battle of Chemulpo on February 9, 1904, during the Russo-Japanese War. This ship was built between 1899 and 1901 in the USA, and subsequently entered service with the Imperial Russian Navy. The vessel was distinguished by the innovative solutions of its time and became a symbol of Russian presence in the Far East during the early 20th century (the modernist era, colonial wars, and pre-WWI period).
