Cross at the entrance to Sevastopol. Recently, crosses began to appear en masse at the entrances to cities.

Monument to the Scuttled Ships
Monument to the scuttled ships is the most famous obelisk of Sevastopol, a symbol of the city and the main attraction.

During the Crimean War, in order to prevent the entry of the Anglo-French squadron into Sevastopol Bay, it was customary to flood several ships at the entrance to the harbor.

The monument survived by some miracle during the Second World War and the eagle with the crown and St. Andrew’s flag survived when the Bolsheviks massively destroyed the symbols of imperial power.

Monument to General Totleben, the head of the engineering defense of Sevastopol during the siege of the city in 1854-1855. Around the adjutant general there are soldiers, sailors and sappers.

Rear view of the Totleben monument. The bronze cartouche describes the award of Totleben with the Order of St. George III degree. A legend is connected with the monument that in 1942 the head was torn off by a shell. The Germans decided to restore the monument to their compatriot and ordered a head in Germany. Because the general must be wearing a cap, then cast with a cap. And then it suddenly became clear that Totleben was holding his cap in his hand! They did not have time to remake their head and the monument in 1945 was already restored by the Russians.
