Photos - Sevastopol monuments
Sevastopol was under siege during the Crimean War and World War 2, became a Soviet Hero City and was a closed military city during the Soviet era. The naval city now belongs to the Ukraine but Russia still leased a part of the harbour for it’s Black Sea Fleet. It is no wonder that Sevastopol is packed with Soviet monuments that cannot be taken down without causing tension between Russia and the Ukraine.
In this gallery you will find photo’s of the Lenin statue overlooking the city, the famous Scuttled Ships monument, the Hero City Memorial, the giant Heroic Defenders Memorial and more.
