No Rossija - derzhava rechnaja, i podlinnyj flot Rossii, odin iz velichajshikh v mire, - eto rechnoj flot. Vot tolko obschestvo pochti ne zamechaet ego. To est ne zamechaet strany, v kotoroj zhivjot. Rus prevraschalas v Rossiju, rastekajas po rekam. Pervoprokhodtsy shli na strugakh i ladjakh, doschanikakh i barkakh. Pjotr I prevratil svojo gosudarstvo v imperiju i postroil dlja stolitsy pervye kanaly, a Ekaterina II, prodolzhaja dela Petra, uchredila na nikh pravila sudokhodstva. Potom eti pravila byli rasprostraneny na vse reki Otechestva. Tak iz raznoshjorstnoj massy rechnykh sudov byl sformirovan "reguljarnyj" flot. Rechnoj flot.

I poslevoennyj rastsvet SSSR byl rastsvetom rechnogo flota, kogda po rekam dvinulis gigantskie sukhogruzy, gordelivo poplyli passazhirskie lajnery, stremitelno poleteli suda na podvodnykh kryljakh.V etoj knige rasskazyvaetsja ne tolko o razvitii rechflota, no i o ljudjakh, kotorye tvorili rechnuju istoriju Rossii.
