About Uchkuevka
Where to stay in Uchkuevka
Each area has its own feel; here's who each one suits.
Sevastopol's centre lies elsewhere. Sleeping in Uchkuevka means the northern side of the city, the western shore of Crimea in front and the road into central Sevastopol still to make, a trade that suits travellers who want water and fortifications before museums and boulevards. Mikhailovskaya Battery anchors the northern side.
The Monument to 2nd Guard Army stands nearby.
About Uchkuevka
What are the main landmarks in Uchkuevka?
Four names, all military. Mikhailovskaya Battery is the only fortification among them, and the two monuments that follow honour formations rather than commanders: the Monument to 2nd Guard Army and the Monument to Volhynian Infantry Regiment in Sevastopol. The fourth is naval. Меморіал особовому складу лінкора «Новоросійськ» names the ship's company of the battleship Новоросійськ, and it is the one memorial here raised to a crew instead of a regiment.
What is the history of Uchkuevka?
Учкуєвка, Учкуївка, Уч-Кую. Three spellings for one settlement on the western shore of Crimea, kept in the Ukrainian record from the time when the place stood apart from Sevastopol rather than inside it. Sevastopol absorbed it, and the northern side kept the name.
No founding year is recorded for Uchkuevka, so what is marked here belongs to the units and the ship's crew the monuments name rather than to any charter.
