Memorial "Malaya Zemlya".

This memorial is a tribute to another brutal battle between the Red Army and the Germans during WWII, when German and Romanian forces took the south-easterly city in September 1942. A unit of Soviet sailors commenced an attack on the forces at the beginning of 1943, and the city was finally liberated by the Red Army, a year after it was occupied. On the site where the sailors defended the city, known as Malaya Zemlya or Little Earth, a colossal memorial pays tribute to the sailors efforts that enabled the Soviet Union to retain power over Novorossiysk’s port, which was key in transporting military supplies to the State.
