Story
The film tells about the heroic expeditions of Vitus Bering , organized and conducted on the eastern extremities of the Russian Empire ( First and Second Kamchatka expeditions). The action takes place in the era of consolidation of the positions of the young Russian fleet - from 1725 , when, under Peter I 's decree, a naval campaign was initiated to study the eastern borders of Russia, and Bering set off on a dangerous path to find out if there is a strait between Chukotka and Alaska . The main events take place already during the reign of Anna Ioannovna , and the story ends under the rule of Elizabeth .
This is the story of the discovery of the Bering Strait , the historical reconstruction of the orders and customs that existed in imperial Russia during the period described — from the time Peter the Great died until 1745 .
