Crimean war Memorial?

#1

Post by James A Pratt III » 10 May 2019, 21:34

On youtube there is a video "Official Entries of Tsar Nicholas II and Family" at 13.05 there is a clip of a memorial dated 1854-55 which looks like a Crimean war memorial possibly in Sevastopol. Can anyone identify this memorial? and is it still around?

I would say most of this film footage was taken during the 1913 Tercentenary Celebrations. some info:
00.58 Nicholas II and what looks like his mother
Alexandra bowing her head and looking miserable. Note she did have health problems
Olga short hair
Tatania short hair she was wearing a wig in 1913 do to hair loss when she got thypoid in early 1913.
Maria long hair at 2.52 she looks miserable
Anastasia short long hair and at 3.32 she is with Grand Duke Dimitri Pavlovich who later took part in the Rasputin murder
Alexei do to a hemophilia attack he had to be carried during the 1913 events
The woman in the nuns robes is Alexandra's older sister Elizabeth who became a nun after her husband grand Duke Sergei was blown to bits literarly by a bomb in 1905

It was a chapel built during 1912-14 to commemorate Romanov Tercentenary. It was located on site of a church which was destroyed during Sevastopol defense 1854-55 near barracks of 37th naval regiment - you can see wall inscription in the video clip.
Demolished in 1928.

Thanks I don't read Russian. Is the monument to the 37th naval regiment still there? or was it destroyed as well.
