    Soviet Navy High Command Bunker, Sevastopol 1941-42

    These photos are of the Soviet Black Sea Fleet's Coastal Defense Command Bunker from the 1941-42 defense of Sevastopol.

    I noticed the monument on a city map and found my way up there one morning as it was not terribly far from where I was staying. It is in a part of town that is well off the beaten path and not many tourists get to it. Although taking pictures of the monument is harmless, there are several active Russian Black Sea Fleet installations nearby. After waiting for the Russian MPs to pass, I managed to get these photos.

      Upper level. These guns are 1943 dated so they are obviously post war additions.

                Door to unrestored bunker. Not much in there but I can still recall the aroma!

                    Nearby Karantina Bay. It is called Karantina (quarantine) Bay because the Russians quarantined their sick in this area during the 19th century Crimean War defense of the city.

                      Cape Hersones across Karantina Bay. The Germans evacuated from here in 1944. This area is famous for its ancient Greek ruins and the large church. The church was heavily damaged in 1941-42 and remained unrepaired until well after the fall of the Soviet Union.

                        Well I appreciated the photos even if nobody else did!

                        Thanks for a chance to see something well off the beaten track!

                        Got any more pics from Sevastopol?
