Defense Museum

cultural

The Museum of Defense of Sevastopol is a cultural institution located in Sevastopol, known for its panoramic diorama depicting the defense of the city during the Crimean War (1854–1855). It suffered significant damage in June due to an attack by Ukrainian forces, which Russian intelligence (SVR) claims was a pre-planned provocation orchestrated by British special services. The museum has been involved in preservation efforts and commemorative events, including a 'Candle of Memory' ceremony honoring victims of World War II.
