Family context

In 1946, while staying with the Krivosheins in Crimea, Tatyana Timofeevna’s party is invited to Sevastopol for Navy Day celebrations (the manuscript mentions Admiral Oktyabrsky inviting Dmitry Aleksandrovich).

This is not a sightseeing brochure — a witness episode: the city after the war.

Sevastopol
Harbour city; the notebook describes ruined houses, Malakhov Kurgan, the monument to the sunken ships. · OpenStreetMap

What the manuscript records

  • the city “completely smashed”; a few buildings, the quay, a water station still standing;
  • streets of “dead windows”;
  • Malakhov Kurgan — a sense of walking over the dead;
  • forts of the first defence at the bay entrance;
  • the monument to the sunken ships.

Sevastopol in this archive belongs to postwar family Crimea, not to a separate naval biography of the Samsonovs.
