about Sevastopol

Sevastopol (Севастополь, Sevastopol’ in Ukrainian; Akyar in Turkish), formerly known as Sebastopol, is a port city in Ukraine, located on the Black Sea coast of Crimean peninsula. It has a population of 400,000. Home of the former Soviet Black Sea Fleet, the city is still a Russian naval base.

The unique geographic location and navigation conditions of the city's harbours make Sevastopol an ever-important naval point.

It is also a popular seaside resort and tourist destination, mainly for visitors from the CIS countries.

The trade and shipbuilding importance of Sevastopol's port is growing since the fall of the Soviet Union despite the difficulties that occur from the joint military control over harbours and piers.

Also, Sevastopol is an important center of marine biology. In particular, studying and training of dolphins has been developing in the city since the end of the World War II, initially as a secret naval program of using these animals in underwater special operations.

Sevastopol history

Sevastopol is probably the most famous naval citadel in the world.

Sevastopol was founded in 1783, when Russia annexed the Crimean peninsula. It became an important naval base and later a commercial port. It was besieged by the British and French during the Crimean War, falling after 11 months.

During WW II Sevastopol withstood an Axis siege for 250 days in 1941–42. It was awarded the title of Hero City in 1945.

While part of the Soviet Union, the city was not incorporated in the Crimean Oblast of the Ukrainian SSR, but was formally subordinate to Kiev (actually to Moscow).

In 1957, the town of Balaklava was incorporated into Sevastopol.
