Malakhov Kurgan

Historical Site

Height near Sevastopol

Malakhov Kurgan is a tactically important height in the southeastern portion of the Crimean city of Sevastopol. It was fortified and became an important Russian position during the Siege of Sevastopol (1854–1855) in the Crimean War, before it was captured by the French in the Battle of Malakoff. During the Russian Revolution of 1905 it was the site of revolutionary meetings and in the Second World War housed an artillery battery that fought until the end of the Siege of Sevastopol (1941–1942). The site now houses a museum.
