“Today Sevastopol celebrates the anniversary of its founding. Let’s congratulate all the residents and our colleagues Andrei Nikolaevich Sobolev and Olga Leonidovna Timofeeva on this,” Matvienko said, the PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The founding date of Sevastopol is considered to be June 14, 1783. On this day the first four stone buildings were laid. Under Ukraine, there were attempts to prove that Sevastopol is a continuation of the Greek Chersonese, founded in the 5th century BC. Their goal was not to mention that the founder of the city was Empress Catherine the Second. However, at the time of the conquest of Crimea, Chersonesus had not existed for more than 200 years.
