2 "mounds" (dva kurgana)

[Prof Steven P Hill]

Dear colleagues:

Thanks to the messages about Mamaev kurgan ("Mamai's Mound")  posted 
on SEELANGS yesterday, I belatedly realized the difference between "Mamaev 
kurgan" and "Malakhov kurgan."   It's about time.

To be sure, both phrases  bring back memories of WW2, but I now see that 
the former relates to Stalingrad (Tsaritsyn), the latter to Sevastopol'.  During 
WW2, the famous directing team Kheifits and Zarkhi made a big war film, 
probably now forgotten,  entitled "Malakhov kurgan." 

Cheers,
