Memorial cross in honor of the ruined church demolished in Dnipro City
The cross itself survived – indifferent citizens leaned it against the wall of the park fence.
Sevastopol Park is the former military cemetery of Sevastopol. It emerged during the Crimean War of 1853-1856 as a burial site for soldiers who died from wounds.
In 1865 the cemetery there was built the Church of the Resurrection of Lazarus, which was demolished in the 1950s. From the 1880s city residents, including a lot of prominent figures of Ekaterinoslav, were buried in the cemetery. In 1932-1933 it was the final resting place for Holodomor victims.
In the years 1955-1957 a memorial park was laid out on the site of the cemetery.
