Back side of the Malakhov Kurgan, 1904

Malakhov Kurgan is a tactically important height in the Crimean city of Sevastopol, known for the defense of Russian troops against French and British troops during the Siege of Sevastopol (1854–1855) of the Crimean War, particularly at the Battle of Malakoff.

It was also a place of notable clashes during the Russian Civil War and World War II.
