On November 11, 1967, a monument was opened in Nakhimov Square in honor of the heroic defense of Sevastopol in 1941-1942.
The modern appearance of the memorial complex began to take shape in 1964, when 19 granite plaques were installed with the names of units and formations of the Black Sea Fleet, the Primorsky Army and the city organizations that participated in the defense of Sevastopol for 250 days, according to the design of N.N. Bagunov, V.M. Artyukhov and B.V. Klinkov.
In 1967, on the right, seven more plaques appeared with the names of 54 Heroes of the Soviet Union, who were awarded this title for their bravery in defending the city. In the same year, according to the design of the architect I.E. Pialko and the sculptor V.V. Yakovlev, a massive reinforced concrete relief was built with a figure of a warrior repelling the enemy's attack.
In 1973, position of honor No. 1 was opened at the monument, and in 1999 the eternal flame was lit.
No one forgets! Nothing is forgotten!
