THE CRIMEAN WAR
REALIZED PROJECT
From October 1 to 20, 2020 took place the first major Franco-Russian archaeological project in Crimea and Sevastopol. Despite the international situation due to covid-19, Pierre Malinowski managed to organize one of the only international cooperation projects of 2020 in Crimea. For 3 weeks, the best French experts such as Michel Signoli from the CNRS worked with their Russian counterparts from the Academy of Sciences on a theme hitherto rather unknown, the Crimean War. Dozens of remains of French soldiers in Inkermann, English in Sevastopol or Russians in Alma were found by Pierre Malinowski and his teams. This project made it possible to let France know that, despite the sanctions, Russia remains open to collaboration and respects the enemies fallen on its soil.
The work of archaeologists and anthropologists from the Franco-Russian teams has made it possible to discover and study the remains of several French and English soldiers, found in Sevastopol and on the Inkerman battlefield.
Sevastopol
Work undertaken by the foundation on the Alma battlefield in Crimea led experts to the discovery of a mass grave containing the remains of Russian soldiers, as well as numerous artifacts.

In addition, Russia and the government of Sevastopol have authorized Pierre Malinowski to organize the funerals of more than 150 French soldiers, found in 2013 in Sevastopol during construction work and which had since remained in plastic bags waiting for France to request their funeral, so that they could rest in peace. They are now in the midst of their comrades in the Great cemetery of Sevastopol where more than 20,000 other French soldiers rest. We did it.
CEREMONY
FOR THIS, WE NEED YOU!
Our goal is to keep the memory of these heroes who died for freedom and also prevent these horrible events to repeat!
