Admiral Kornilov was chief organizer and
commander of the first defense of Sevastopol.
The monument to Admiral Kornilov is situated on
Malakhov Hill
at the exact place where Admiral was wounded. He is portrayed at
the moment at the moment of his mortal wounding.
His last words were "Stand for Sevastopol". These words are engraved in the
pedestal as well as list of ships he commanded and battles he took part in.
To the right of the pedestal there is a figure of a soldier with a cannon
ball in his hands. He is ready to stand for Sevastopol.
At the foot of the monument there is a granite slab with a cross composed of
cannon balls. It marks the place where Admiral V. Kornilov was wounded.
The monument was destroyed during the World War WII and erected anew in
1983 to the 200-anniversary of Sevastopol.
