The 35th Coastal Battery memorial museum was established in 2005–2012. It aims to preserve the names of the perished defenders of the city. For this purpose, the pantheon of memory was created in the museum, where tablets with 42,000 names are already installed. Every year, new remains of Sevastopol defenders found in the area of the last battles are buried according to military ritual.
