Delapidated British Memorial to the Crimean War in Balaclava, Ukraine
- Many monuments in Ukraine, Russia, Britain, France, Italy and Turkey commemorate the Crimean War. This British memorial is in Balaclava, Ukraine and is in poor condition. The plaques are missing. It seems that that local motor scooter riders use the memorial enclosure for their hobby. Why can't the local British Embassy contribute to the upkeep of this memorial to the British dead and wounded of the Crimean War?

Siege of Sevastopol 1854-1855 National Anthem of the Ottoman Empire -Sivastopol March
360 part-1 Panorama / Sevasotol, Crimean War - Siege of Sevastopol 1854-1855

The Crimean War was a military conflict fought from October 1853 to March 1856 in which the Russian Empire lost to an alliance of France, Britain, the Ottoman Empire, and Sardinia. The immediate cause involved the rights of Christian minorities in the Holy Land, which was a part of the Ottoman Empire. The French promoted the rights of Roman Catholics, while Russia promoted those of the Eastern Orthodox Church. The longer-term causes involved the decline of the Ottoman Empire and the unwillingness of Britain and France to allow Russia to gain territory and power at Ottoman expense. It has widely been noted that the causes, in one case involving an argument over a key, have never revealed a greater confusion of purpose, yet led to a war noted for its notoriously incompetent international butchery.
Six days before the referendum to decide the fate of Crimea, campaigning is underway
With only six days to go before the referendum to decide the fate of Crimea, campaigning is well underway in the peninsula.
On Monday, more troops - presumably Russians although they wore no insignia and their vehicles were unmarked - were seen moving in convoys along main roads.
The arrival of Russian troops in Crimea has opened old wounds among the Crimean Tatars, who were deported during World War II.
Fearing that once again they will be unwelcome in their homeland, some are organising community-watch patrols to protect their families and homes in a place they strongly feel should remain part of Ukraine.
Tensions have grown with preparations to hold a referendum on Sunday on whether Crimea should stay in Ukraine or join Russia.
Women from the Crimean Tatar community lined the main road near the capital Simferopol and chanted Crimea! Ukraine!, making clear their preference in the forthcoming referendum.
Nearby, workers were busy fixing posters on billboards promoting a vote to be Together with Russia.
Other posters featured symbols associated with the occupation of Crimea during the Second World War, echoing comments from Moscow that the recent overthrow of the Ukrainian government was orchestrated by so-called fascists.
The referendum is due to take place on March 16, although it's not clear how it will be supervised or who exactly will be eligible to vote.

Ukraine: Dramatic Crimean War victory reenactment fires up Sevastopol
Ukrainian historical groups reenacted the culminating piece of the Crimean War, the year-long Siege of Sevastopol, while hundreds of onlookers watched on Sunday. Dressed in traditional uniforms, the Russian troops faced off against gunfire and cannon shots from the allies composed of French, British, Ottoman and Sardinian forces to commemorate the Crimean War of 1843 - 1856. In the reenactment, soldiers pretend to kill one another and die, as well as to break enemy lines.
During the Siege of Sevastopol, the Crimean capital withstood six different bombardments from the allied navy. The reenactment focused on the battle for the 4th bastion, known commonly as the Flagstaff Bastion, which was one of Russia's most crucial defence siege barriers during the war. Several defensive lines were used as fortifications in it, with trench lines connecting the soldiers.
Originally, from September 1854 to September 1855, allied army members focused their attack on the Flagstaff Bastion and relentlessly put it under fire, with French and Turkish troops severely hitting the Russian garrisons. Yet the 35,000-strong Russian army managed to repel the attack which spanned a year. Allied forces had 50,000 members and 89 ships at their disposal, however the Russian gunmen, naval seamen, and military engineers were able to withstand the attack, which is remembered as one of the most dramatic parts of the Crimean War.
Russian writer Leo Tolstoy fought in the Flagstaff Bastion during the Siege of Sevastopol, and his book Sevastopol Sketches tells three historical fiction short stories about his experiences. The sketches appeared later as full-blown episodes in his renowned novel War and Peace.

Turkey: Thousands gather for killed teenager's funeral in Istanbul
Thousands have flocked to Istanbul's Okmeydanı neighborhood on Wednesday for the funeral procession of Turkish teenager Berkin Elvan, who died Tuesday after spending 269 days in a coma. Some groups put up barricades on the roads leading to a local cemevi -- a house of worship for the Alevi community -- where the funeral ceremony started at midday.
Elvan had been in a coma since June 2013 after being struck in the head by a gas canister during clashes with police. The teenager was the eighth person to be killed in the Gezi Park protests.

СЕВАСТОПОЛЬ - Город Герой
English version of the article below
Легендарный город герой Севастополь. Это город славы, город светлой памяти о временах, когда все люди объединяясь в одно целое делали невозможное, совершали настоящие героические подвиги ради светлого будущего, плодами которого сегодня наслаждаемся мы. Я родился и вырос в Ялте и первое отличие, которое бросилось мне в глаза после переезда в Севастополь – люди тут более культурные и вежливые. Город большой, некогда пустовавшие земли сегодня превращаются в жилые массивы, построены и продолжают разрастаться целые микрорайоны. В Севастополе много университетов и других учебных заведений, это одна из причин по которой город притягивает большое количество молодых людей. Длинная береговая линия, шикарные бухты, большой выбор пляжей, открытый доступ к морю и множество достопримечательностей притягивает в Севастополь тысячи туристов. В этом ролике Вы можете видеть лишь малую часть того что есть в городе, некоторые основные, «центральные» достопримечательности.
Памятник погибшим кораблям – визитная карточка Севастополя. Монумент высотой 17 метров возвели в 1905 году — к 50-летию первой обороны Севастополя. Во время Крымской войны, когда к берегам города подступали английский, французский и турецкий флоты, князь Александр Меншиков приказал затопить часть устаревших судов на входе в Севастопольскую бухту и кораблям противников не удалось проникнуть в город. Севастополь держал оборону 349 дней, за это время на дно бухты легло около 90 судов.
Город, который по всем международным меркам ещё молодой - очень привлекателен для туристов и любителей пляжного отдыха, а также может с гордостью похвастаться, что тот или иной музей или достопримечательность — единственные в мире. Мало кто из приезжих знает, что под Севастополем скрыт огромный комплекс подземных сооружений, масштабы которого поражают воображение.
Севастополь разбит на четыре района: центральный Ленинский, старейший Нахимовский, включающий в себя Северную сторону города, Балаклавский, и самый молодой, Гагаринский район города, который был основан в 1975 году.
Многие приехавшие на учёбу студенты остаются тут жить и гордо называют себя Севастопольцами.

Legendary city hero Sevastopol. It is a city of glory, a city of fond memory of the times when all people, united into one whole, did the impossible, performed real heroic deeds for the sake of a brighter future, the fruits of which we enjoy today. I was born and raised in Yalta and the first difference that caught my eye after moving to Sevastopol was that people here are more cultured and polite. The city is large, once empty land today is turning into residential areas, entire neighborhoods have been built and continue to grow. There are many universities and other educational institutions in Sevastopol, this is one of the reasons why the city attracts a large number of young people. The long coastline, gorgeous bays, a large selection of beaches, open access to the sea and many attractions attract thousands of tourists to Sevastopol. In this video you can see only a small part of what is in the city, some basic, “central” sights.
Monument to the dead ships - a visiting card of Sevastopol. The monument with a height of 17 meters was erected in 1905 - to the 50th anniversary of the first defense of Sevastopol. During the Crimean War, when the English, French and Turkish fleets approached the shores of the city, Prince Alexander Menshikov ordered a part of the outdated ships at the entrance to the Sevastopol Bay to be sank and the enemy ships failed to penetrate the city. Sevastopol held the defense for 349 days, during which time about 90 vessels lay at the bottom of the bay.
The city, which is still young by all international standards, is very attractive for tourists and beach lovers, and can also proudly boast that this or that museum or attraction is the only one in the world. Few visitors know that a huge complex of underground structures is hidden under Sevastopol, the scale of which is amazing.
Sevastopol is divided into four districts: central Leninsky, the oldest Nakhimovsky, which includes the northern side of the city, Balaklava, and the youngest, Gagarinsky district of the city, which was founded in 1975. Many students who came to study remain here to live and proudly call themselves Sevastopol.
