Some points which are present in Russian sources (notably in the account published in 1907 by Rudneff himself), but for which I need to find more references:

Capt. Rudnev is listed as a casualty, which is true, he was wounded in the head, but he did not die at Chemulpo. I've removed the line that lists him as a casualty therefore, in case people think he died there.
http://cruiserx.narod.ru --- lots of historical sources in russian language, maps of chemulpo bay, logbooks and so on
Now looks better, but article need some more attention.
Message from Dorf:
Changed a few things, like the Varyag officers 'pleading' with the neutrals to escort them out, and Varyag's crew setting fire to the ship before scuttling it - nonsense. Nor did Varyag staff 'advise' Rudnev to surrender - whoever wrote this seems to have no knowledge of the Russian navy. Connaughton's book is a bit rubbish in this sense, he must have dreamt about the glories of the Empire when writing it. Why doesn't anyone use Russian sources?
From NMD-kroq: All right, there is a perfect source for this, it's in Russian, though. It's called Desantnaya Operaciya v Inchone, the author is Andrei Polutov -- he has studied Japanese for over 30 years and has access to the Confidential History of RJW. Connaughton's book is a bunch of horse-shit, he has everything wrong re. morning of the 8th. Although the Koreetz was blown up, it remained largely intact, the Japanese recovered 3 useful guns (including one 8-inch and one 6-inch, and a bunch of ammunition). The Japanese also raised the Sungari, she served in IJN until 1929. Finally -- whoever thought of renaming Sir Julian S. Corbett? Stafford was his middle name.
