' One more important stroke was emphasized half-centuries back by(with) the writer the historian In. Neva in the book ' the First travel of the Russians around of light "':" references about the first Russian round-the-world travel included in usage the erroneous tendency to write about Ю. Ф. Лисянском only as about the companion And. Ф. Крузенштерна. However resulted(brought) data show, that the most part of navigation Лисянский has made independently.

Within 532 running day the ships have passed more than 45 000 miles, and only 41,5 % on time and 42,8 % on number of miles falls on a part of travel accomplished "'Невою" together with "'Надеждою", and independent navigation accordingly 58,5 % and 57,2 %.

From 1095 days, during which the historical travel proceeded, in joint navigation the ships were only 375 days, in independent navigation "'Neva" was 720 days, that accordingly makes 34,3 % and 65,7% '.

Thus, the commander "of 'Neva" actually made вояж without trusteeship Крузенштерна and has made opening and innovations independently ' [Фирсов And. И.].

So, expedition(dispatch), as the project and as a certain organizational measure, - one. And two navigations around of light.

Plus embassy and scientific researches

The project was not limited to two round-the-world плаваниями. It(he) also included a direction of embassy in Japan and realization in the period плаваний of scientific researches.

' By the Envoy in Japan was nominated камергер Н. Item. Резанов, one of the active figures Российско of the American company. The first Russian round-the-world expedition(dispatch) turned to the important political enterprise. However its(her) main task, as it is visible from ' to the Instruction given valid камергеру Резанову ', there was ' a trade Российско of the American company ', on whose means were bought and are supplied of court of expedition(dispatch) - ' Hope "'and" Neva '. (In connection with sending diplomatic mission which is taking place onboard ' of Hope ', this ship was accepted on the state account, switching and biennial contents of his(its) crew.)

The scientific tasks were not overlooked(forgotten) also. Already in the first governmental documents, where the main subject of expedition(dispatch) was considered(examined), there was a speech about естественнонаучном research of Russian possession in America both other places and countries, which should visit the ships. For this purpose the botany and some students минералогов was supposed in structure of expedition(dispatch) to include of the scientist натуралиста.
