Историческа възстановка в Севастопол по случай 71 години от освобождението на града

A remembrance ceremony and an historical battle reenactment took place on Mount Sapun near Sevastopol, Sunday, to mark the 71st anniversary of the liberation of the city by the Red Army in WWII. Local residents were shown a reenactment of the storming of Mount Sapun, which took place on May 3, 1944. The mount was considered an impenetrable base for the Nazis before the Red Army eventually captured the strategic location, allowing them to drive the German forces from Sevastopol. During the remembrance ceremony, soldiers from the Naval Forces of the Black Sea carried the flags of warships and infantry units that fought in the battle. Floral tributes were laid at the Eternal Flame monument on top of Mount Sapun to honour those that died whilst liberating the city.
