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,
