RUSSIAN NORTHERN SEA ROUTE – SAMOILOVICH, Rudolf Lazarevich (1881-1939, ed.). Pokhod Krasina. Sbornik statei uchastnikov ekspeditsii. [Krasin’s Voyage. A Collection of Articles by Members of the Expedition.] Moscow and St. Petersburg: Zemlia i Fabrika, 1930.

A presentation copy of the first edition, inscribed by the expedition chief to a valued team member: Liubov Vorontsova, a journalist, joined the Krasin to report on efforts to rescue survivors of Umberto Nobile’s Italia expedition. Because of logistical constraints she earned her place by working as a stoker and assistant radio operator. Samoilovich’s inscription describes her as a “worthy participant” (dostoinaia uchastnitse). The crash of Nobile’s dirigible on its return flight to the North Pole led to a series of rescues attempts, during one of which Roald Amundsen lost his life. The icebreaker Krasin eventually reached the survivors. Samoilovich was feted at first, but was later caught up in a Stalinist purge and executed. He was rehabilitated in 1957, and in 2000 his portrait appeared on a Russian stamp commemorating the expedition. Vorontsova published her own account (Na 81° severnoi shiroty) in 1929; it is reproduced, in part, in this volume (pp.158-174).

Octavo (228 x 148mm). Frontispiece halftone portrait of Samoilovich; eight leaves of halftone reproductions (dampstain in the top margin; margins yellowed and with occasional wear; small marginal repair). Original color-illustrated wrappers (backed with brown cloth tape; some wear at the edges; one tear repaired with clear tape from verso). Provenance: R.L. Samoilovich (presentation inscription, dated 1 October 1930, to:) – Liubov Andreevna Vorontsova (1900-1972, journalist) – marginalia in ink and colored pencil; some, perhaps, in Vorontsova’s hand – Wayfarer’s Bookshop.
