I.I. Firsov meditatively notes: "As neither Kruzenshtern, nor Baskakov left for descendants of any notes about stay in the New World, we will pay attention to some remarkable and perspicacious remarks and the conclusions drawn by Yury Lisyansky. (...) Lisyansky's records are much more interesting, systematic and various, than the notes of the first Russian person who has visited America before that - of Fyodor Karzhavin" [1].

Perhaps, there are some bases for a conclusion about "state diplomatic qualities" of I.F. Kruzenshtern and about "simple-souled romanticism" of Yu.F. Lisyansky?

One of I.F. Kruzenshtern's biographers uses an interesting and well-aimed phrase: "The greatness of this scientific feat can be estimated only at disclosure of all peripetias "wars of nerves" which he had to sustain before he has achieved the edition of his brainchild" [1]. "War of nerves" - persistence - perseverance ... There are bases to believe that these are the concepts of one series.

About Yu. F. Lisyanskiy we can meet such an opinion: "Some kind of spiritual goodness was seen in him. "Maybe he is too passionate about theology. Therefore sailors are better than others listen to him,' - thought involuntarily Grevens. He does not miss a single service, on the shelf he has a number of works by Lomonosov, Kheraskov and the Bible, which, except that the hieromonk has. In the cabin in the corner there is the icon of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker, and before her the light is lit day and night ... " [2]. We will note that Yu. Lisyansky was one of the sons of the archpriest of the Church of St. John the Theologian in the city of Nezhyn.

All informational sources emphasize the intellectuality of Yu. F. Lisyansky and I. F. Kruzenshtern.

'"I confirm, this experienced captain," - replied Mordvinov, - "For many years he sailed in the English fleet to the East and West Indies, visited Africa and America. In addition, thoughtful and inquisitive. Now, according to the highest assent, his translation is printed - of the English scientific work on the Navy questions'. 'There is', - added Mordvinov, - 'also Captain Kruzenshtern, his co-seafarer. Today he presented an interesting project about the benefits of floating in the Great Ocean"' [2].

In 1803 in Russia the book by John Clerk "Experience of sea tactics" translated by Yu.F. Lisyansky has been published (in Russian translation the book has received the name "The movement of the fleet, in 2 x parts. The composition of John Klerk. The translation from the English the Captain-Lieutenant Yu. Lisyansky") [2].

Whether there are bases for a conclusion about I.F. Kruzenshtern's and Yu.F. Lisyansky's "complementarity"? It is difficult to give definite answer to such question. But such question, and such term - "complementarity" - can arise at reflections about cooperation between I.F. Kruzenshtern and Yu.F. Lisyansky.

Troyecentry of power and energy of competitive spirit

How were allocated formal and real functions (roles) between I. F. Kruzenshtern and Yu. F. Lisyansky (as expedition leader and subordinate, respectively)?

Probably, for a correct answer to this question, we can distinguish two relatively independent expeditionary periods:

(1) the period of expedition preparation

and

(2) the period of sea floatings.

At both stages, the formal head was I.F. Kruzenshtern, and Yu. F. Lisyansky was in his subordination.

There was a general opinion that the basis for the appointment of I.F. Kruzenshtern as the head of the expedition was the preparation by him of the draft of the first round-the-world voyage. According to the formal rules, that were in force at the moment of assignment, Yu. F. Lisyansky had the advantage to be appointed the head of the expedition.

"The choice of the Chief of other ship has been provided to my will. I have chosen the Captain-Lieutenant Lisyansky, the excellent naval officer who was serving with me together during the last war in the British fleet, and the former in America and in East India; why I also had a possibility to learn. Our travel had to be long, and successful completion thereof the general diligence needed, unanimity, honest and impartial acts. Opposite to this could subject us to unpleasant, and maybe to disastrous adventures, especially as all our Expedition though consisted of people of military, however it was not absolutely military, but a partly and commercial. Those reasons have imposed on me the duty to elect to a position of the Head of another ship the man impartial, obedient, diligent to the General benefit. I identified as such a person the Captain-Lieutenant Lisyansky, who had sufficient knowledge as about the seas on which we were had to float, and about marine Astronomy in the current improved state of it" [13].
