Kruzenshtern has informed Rumyantsev and Chichagov about these claims and has addressed with the extensive letter to Alexander I, in which he reported that he "will confront" against all attempts of Rezanov to interfere with his (Krusenshtern) leadership in voyage and never will agree to recognize legitimacy of the instruction of the envoy.

The tense situation created because of the claims Rezanov, - continued Kruzenshtern, - "saps the strength of man." In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Kruzenshtern was going to surrender command of the courts to other officers. It was an ultimatum" [1].

"Kruzenshtern play hypocrite a little. He was well aware of the decision of Alexander I. Even in Kronstadt he was informed by Rezanov about a will of the Emperor. The company's management in the instructions to him, Kruzenshtern, wrote about Rezanov that "empowering him with a rights of full manager not only during the voyage, but also in America," Required Kruzenshtern: "You will not leave to follow his advice in all things"" [2].

So we can note that the in expedition were objectively established three centers of power (Troyecentricity).

The multicentricity itself, but in format not Troyecentricity, but Twocentricity, is not unique.

In the depth of history we watch, for example, two Roman consuls.

During Alexander I's era, after the beginning of Patriotic war of 1812, we see relatively equal Bagration and Barclay de Tolly.

Probably, it is possible to recall also commissioners who during some periods could repeal orders of commanders.

S.P. Melgunov called the book "Alexander I. A sphinx on a throne".

In a Troyecentricity we can see a mysterious smile of the Sphinx.

Was there a rational motivation of a Troyecentricity?

Perhaps the following rationale can be found for management, which is using Troyecentricity:

(1) The priority of the Embassy (imperial task).

Note: After "war of nerves" and self-isolation N. P. Rezanov in his cabin, the expedition is becoming a two-centric de facto.

Control under an expedition becomes a two-centric (a twocentriate) de jure from the moment of completion of attempts of placement of embassy in Japan, Rezanov's step down out board the "Hope" (1805) and N.P. Rezanov's directions to Russia through Siberia (in way N.P. Rezanov died of a disease in 1807).

The Polycentrism (Twocentrism) "is nullified" after an output from the Canton and traverse of the Cape of Good Hope by the ships.

The ships lost each other from a view and further moved independently of each other on different paths.

(2) The polycentrism promoted complementarity. During certain periods of floating (especially during an initial stage) both captains acted jointly, that allowed novice captains (relatively novice) to lean on cooperation and mutual assistance, accumulating experience. In foreign ports two ships looked more seriously, than one.

(3) The polycentrism provided mutual monitoring (mutual control).

(4) The polycentrism created the atmosphere of competitive spirit. Though Lisyansky's aspiration to independent float can raise some questions, it, this aspiration, was programmed by the polycentrism of control of an expedition.

"The tense situation created because of Rezanov's claims, ... "exhausts forces human". In Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky Kruzenshtern was going to hand over command of vessels to other officers. It was the ultimatum.

In a letter to the naval minister P. V. Chichagov, Lisyansky wrote: "Having undertaken a voyage around the world under the command of my friend, ... I just waited for the minute of this important event, but in the Marquesas Islands everything turned into a dream. There Mr. Rezanov announced to us publicly that he is our boss. Having risked every minute lifes for the glory of our sovereign and Fatherland, was it possible for us to wait for the such commander of such an important expedition, - commander, that had never seen the sea before?

"The commander of the 'Neva' appealed to the Main Board of the Russian-American Company and to the Minister of Commerce Rumiantsev with a request to dismiss him command of the ship "or exclude from the command of the one, from whom, apart from the unfortunate end of all our labors, nothing can be expected." However, the petitions of Kruzenshtern and Lisyansky about resignation were not taken into account.

Rumyantsev, at whom documents of the conflicting parties met, not only hasn't made to either the envoy, or officers of any reproach, but has even taken care of that they have received awards. Compared with the success of the sailing of ships from Kronstadt to Kamchatka and unto the northwestern shores of America, this quarrel was not so much a significant event. Rumyantsev didn't consider Kruzenshtern responsible for misunderstanding. Moreover, Rumyantsev has made Kruzenshtern to be the scientific adviser for questions of sea and polar researches and has kept the friendly relations with him till last days of the life" [1] .

It is difficult to say how N. P. Rezanov can pressure I. F. Kruzenshtern (but still specifying of a person, who had no marine experience and a marine intuition, could not help, - but be discomfort).

Naturally, instructions of the person, who didn't have the sea experience, who wasn't understanding importance of special knowledge and a seaworthy intuition, was dangerous. In this sense, I. F. Kruzenshtern fought for the freedom of action of the commander for a safe and successful voyage.

But it is possible to add to these understandable arguments still such reflections.

What would be if the two expedition vessels has come back and with N.P. Rezanov onboard one of them?

What name would it receive? Round-the-world expedition of Rezanov? Rezanov and Krusenshtern? Rezanov and Krusenshtern and Lisyansky?

Exaggerating and fantasizing, one may say, that the place in the history was at stake.

So, a game went with the purpose to win important things:

(1) the safety of sea voyage,

(2) the success of the voyage (the success not of the embassy mission, and not of the company mission, and not of the economic mission), namely the success of the circumnavigation and the scientific cognitive mission.

(3) the place in the history.

The Sphinx has mysteriously grinned: "Play! Your chess pieces are your successes. Get to win!"

The energy of competition and the creation of success

Recount in this essay all the information, that is set out in the sources concerning the relationship and Krusenshtern and N. P. Rezanov, is not expediently.
