 Sevastopol'-The Obelisk in
honor of the Hero-City by Kuznetsov_Sergey
Both during the Nazi occupation and in the bright hour of liberation that came in May, 1944, Sevastopolites remained true to the motto inscribed on the city's first monument: to live up to "the example for the posterity".
The monuments to defenders and liberators of Sevastopol, to partisans and underground fighters are a tribute to their feat that will endure through the ages. The Obelisk in honor of the Hero-City of Sevastopol is installed on the Cape Khrustalny.
The legendary Sapun-Gora through which the way to the liberation of Sevastopol in 1944 lay has become the place of homage to the heroes. In the same year 1944 the first monuments to the Soviet warriors on this war-scorched land were erected, in 1959 the diorama showing the triumphant assault of the enemy fortifications was opened.
I was fortune to see it in 1967 when a boy. This 2007 we hadn't got enough time to revisit the diorama.

I took the time to see Dr Kotov in Sevastopol. The dental clinic is called Dr Siemens and can be found on Lenina Street. I talked with Dr. Kotov who speaks good English He
uses Siemans Procedures, as good as or better than you can get in the UK. In fact he had better equiment than my local dentist, and of course he uses the german 'Siemens' equipment.. The cost was really cheap..

Ruins of the city of Chersonese Taurica (Taurian Peninsula), located in the western part of Sevastopol on the Heraclian Peninsula. In 5-1 B.C. Chersonese was a city-state with democratic self-government. In 3-2 B.C. the first defense structures consisting of 24 towers were built. More than 30 streets and a large number of gardens were in the city. The city center contains an acropolis and an agora (place of public meetings), a theater, and a temple. During the lst-4th c. Chersonese became an aristocratic republic under the control of Rome. Later it fell under Byzantine rule and in the 4th c. converted to Christianity. In 988 Prince Volodymyr the Great captured Chersonese. In 1299 it was captured and destroyed by the Tatar-Mongols. Leave a Comment
