A memorial event for the birthday of Mikhail Petrovich Lazarev was held at the Vladimir Cathedral, the tomb of the admirals.
Admiral Lazarev left a deep mark on the history of Sevastopol - as commander of the Black Sea Fleet and as the military governor of Sevastopol and Nikolaev.
He really loved the city and did everything for its development. Under him, the Vladimir Cathedral was built on the central hill, a monument to Kazarsky was erected and Mali Avenue, which today we know as Matroskay. Lazarevski barracks and the dry docks were built under him, a school for sailors' children was opened under him, the assembly house was built and the construction of the admiralty began.
Valzarev also reorganized the Naval Library - today it is the oldest library in Sevastopol.
He said: "For me, Sevastopol is my favorite city, because everything started here with me."
