We will note only culmination points.
It is curious that the conflict has reached one of the culminations after an entry in the Pacific Ocean, passing of a considerable distance in the Pacific Ocean, but before arriving in Kamchatka (and Japan), and prior to start of separate floatings of "Hope" (to Japan and Kamchatka) and of 'Neva' (to Alaska).
By this point ("Hope" and "Neva" were in the Hawaiian Islands area), have become clear (1) the qualifications of the Captains, (2) The real prospects of the success of round-the-world expedition.
As for Ambassador N. P. Rezanov, he was still a "thing in itself," he could not yet refer to some his personal achievements or successes.
I. F. Kruzenshtern made used the words of N. P. Rezanov in relation to him (Krusenshtern), - "'re being childish", - for the organization of collective trial (with the participation of Lisyansky and representatives of the officers of "Hope" and "Neva").
"The economic questions completely not your competence, the Company's servants change goods. - Rezanov smiled slightly. - I think, this is not solid for you to re being childish.
Kruzenshtern, dumbfounded stared at Rezanov, his face became crimson and he screamed:
- How dare you tell me that I're being childish?!" [2].
From sources, it follows that Lisyansky expressed support for Krusenshtern.
I. F. Krusenshtern is exacerbating the situation to the limit at the time of collective trial of the words "'re being childish".
In the conflict involved Yu. F. Lisyansky. Rezanov demonstrates a document, signed personally by the Emperor Alexander I.
Lisyansky in the heat utters inappropriate words: the Emperor did not write it (document), and only signed it.
"Who wrote that?" - asked Lysyansky, looking at the Rezanov at point-blank.
(...)
- Yes, wrote that who? - Lisyansky has repeated.
(...)
- Here that is! - Lisyansky ironically has told. - We want to know, who wrote. And about who signed ... he will sign everything. We know it ..." [3].
It seems, N.P. Rezanov - having had such opportunity - have officially informed to St. Petersburg about Yu.F. Lisyansky's words.
Formally N.P. Rezanov is right, declaring about his powers. His formal authority is recognized by all. But there is a psychological inertia: officers have experience of sea service, and by the ship the one-man management is accepted, the captain individually directs the ship.
N.P. Rezanov or has no right to displace the captain (such prospect arises only after arrival of "Hope" for Kamchatka), or has no decisiveness for it, or just isn't able to make it (he is not a man of navy).
The officer staff (of 'Hope' ship) was selected personally by Kruzenshtern, some members of the crew are his (Kruzenshtern's) relatives. Kruzenshtern rightly declares to the officers that he is the commander of the ship, and that he takes full responsibility for the conflict with Rezanov. The Imperial document is announced about Rezanov's authority. It (the imperial document) is formally recognized, but in the position of Rezanov this changes nothing, he continues to sail in isolation.
Psychological pressure was so strong that Rezanov did further way (to Kamchatka), having self-isolated, in his ship cabin.
"The explanation took place, but it did not bring relief. Rezanov did not leave his cabin until Petropavlovsk itself "[2].
However, in the aftermath of this conflict, subtle but critical changes are taking place in the positions and sentiments of Kruzenshtern and Lisyansky.
E. L. Steinberg the artistic - but very realistic - mentally created the words of Kruzenshtern and Lisyansky:
'I undertake all this, - Kruzenshtern has told ... - ... having passed a third of a way, we have with glory finish our expedition... whatever happened and to what victims it wasn't necessary to come across!
Lisyansky has come back to 'Neva' in gloomy mood. (...)
- Yes! The officer has told aloud. - Kruzenshtern is right: the travel needs to be finished with glory ... whatever happens!" [3].
In the morning, Lysyansky was a person relatively uninvolved in the conflict Kruzenshtern with Rezanov. But after the unwary words about the Emperor in the exciting atmosphere of collective trial, organized Kruzentshtern, he (Lysyansky) should accumulate all the forces for some kind of rehabilitation, - to what victims it wasn't necessary to come across!, whatever happens! The Troyecentricity mechanism worked: Yu F. Lysyansky had no alternative except obvious, distinct and undeniable success.
Still ahead were and a delicate diplomatic move of Kruzenshtern (the outstripping visit to Kamchatka), and the relative failure of the embassy, and the decision by N. P. Rezanov to get off the "Hope" ship, and the unsuccessful meeting of Rezanov with "Neva" in Alaska, but already in latent form appeared the unformulated decision by Y. F. Lysyansky, explicitly adopted later, - independently, with the highest possible speed to arrive in Kronstadt. INDEPENDENTLY! AND BE THE FIRST!
A question arises, to which there is no unambiguous answer: which option would actually be safer? Option joint or option of separate floating?
And unless arrival of one - one of two - the ship wouldn't be a success in eyes of the Emperor Alexander I? Even on condition of a non-arrival of the second? International experience allowed to believe: safe finishing of a sea campaign by one of the ships would even undoubtedly be estimated as a successful completion of an expedition.
But both ships have successfully arrived!!! ("we have with glory finish our expedition... whatever happened and to what victims it wasn't necessary to come across!"). Everything has passed successfully (that was in competence of captains): and both circumnavigations, and military aid for Russian-American Company, and trade, and researches! Russia became in one level with the leading world sea powers. ("Whether not early to be the Cook, the young man?" (The words of the Ambassador Vorontsov. Is quoted on: [3])).
But while Krusenshtern's ship "Hope" flies to Japan.
The magnificent diplomatic move of Kruzenshtern: Ivan Fedorovich changes the sequence of achievement of goals. For beginning, it is not delivery of the embassy to Japan. First visit to Kamchatka. Motivation is difficult to challenge: cargo needs to be delivered urgently to Kamchatka. Firstly, the Company's representatives expect cargoes, and secondly, the conditions of navigation may change. Rezanov is forced to agree.
Rezanov is morally disorganized, in Petropavlovsk "is starting to let off steam," begins the formal proceedings. Kruzenshtern is threatened with suspension, but Kruzenshtern makes a new powerful diplomatic step: he apologizes.
