The history of the everyday life of Russian sailors in 1914-1917: methodology of research

This article is devoted to the study of the daily service of sailors of the Russian Navy during the First World War. The history of the development of the trend in Russian historical science is presented, and prominent representatives are noted. A methodology for studying the everyday life of military sailors is proposed, e.g. the boundaries of the concept and its structure are determined. Particular attention is paid to the consideration of the mechanisms of everyday life of any official activity, identifying the disunity between the officers and lower ranks both during the performance of official duties and during periods of free time. At the same time, directions for further work were assessed, such as expanding the source base, conducting comparative studies using materials from all fleets and flotillas, as well as foreign fleets, both allied to Russia and hostile to it.
