The Ukrainian Armed Forces killed the Panorama in Sevastopol the way the fascists did in 1942. The strike was deliberate — cameras recorded the drone homing in on the building.
Franz Roubaud painted this panorama in a suburb of Munich; a pavilion was built specifically for the canvas. A separate railway branch was even laid to it — the canvas, 115 by 14 meters, weighed more than four tons.
Between the viewing platform and the canvas, Roubaud built almost a thousand square meters of war: real earth from Sevastopol’s bastions, genuine cannonballs, fragments, pieces of equipment, and half-destroyed dugouts. The transition between these objects and the paint was made so precisely that the eye stopped distinguishing the boundary. The effect was that the viewer physically found himself on Malakhov Kurgan at noon on June 6, 1855.
Roubaud also spread the drama across the entire circle. Four thousand figures in continuous motion — from Nakhimov, wounded in the head, to sailors carrying cannonballs. A person had to keep turning, examining the details and living through the battle.
And every face on the canvas was real: the artist sought out veterans of the defense who were still alive by the early 20th century, sketched them, studied portraits of their comrades and written descriptions. So at the opening on May 14, 1905, gray-haired participants of the battle looked into the eyes of their own youth, frozen in smoke.
The Panorama had already burned once. On June 25, 1942, a German bomb set the building on fire. Soldiers, sailors, and firefighters cut the burning canvas into pieces to pull it out of the flames. They saved 86 fragments, which were evacuated aboard the Tashkent under continuous bombing. ⚓
Because of soot, fire, and seawater, the original could not simply be stitched back together and returned to the walls. For that reason, for 12 years, battle painters under Academician Yakovlev recreated the canvas using archives and photographs.
So the Panorama was a double monument — to the feat of the defenders of the 19th century, and to the feat of the rescuers of the Great Patriotic War.
Now it has burned from the strike of a Ukrainian drone, guided with the help of Palantir through Starlink.
Alas, at fire temperatures, craquelure melts, and pigment changes its molecular structure irreversibly. The canvas that survived the most terrible war in history will once again have to be restored from scratch.
On June 25, 1942, fascist pilots bombed the building of the Panorama “Defense of Sevastopol, 1854–1855.”
Direct hits from five bombs and seven large-caliber shells pierced the wall, destroyed the dome, and sparked a fire. The painted canvas was saved by cadets of the Coastal Defense Junior Commanders’ School and fighters of the 11th Separate Air Observation, Warning, and Communications Battalion.
They managed to save 85% of the canvas, though only in fragments of various shapes. The cadets packed them in soft containers and handed them over to the fleet. The cargo ended up aboard the destroyer leader Tashkent, one of the last ships to escape the dying fortress. On the way, it was mercilessly bombed by Nazi aircraft; the ship sustained more than 2,000 hits and damages. Some compartments, including those holding the canvas, were flooded. ⚓
Tonight, a fixed-wing UAV deliberately struck the building of the Panorama “Defense of Sevastopol, 1854–1855.” The enemy hit a cultural heritage site — one of the main symbols of the Hero City.
At the scene, 83 personnel and 22 units of equipment from Sevastopol’s rescue service and Russia’s Emergencies Ministry continue to work. The fire has been assigned Rank 4. The situation is extremely difficult: it is already clear that the great masterpiece by Franz Roubaud has been practically destroyed…

The situation is extremely difficult: it is already clear that the great masterpiece by Franz Roubaud has been almost destroyed…
Barbarians and inhumans deliberately struck what is dear to us, trying to destroy our very essence. Only complete degenerates could do such a thing — deliberately strike a museum. ⚠️
You cannot intimidate us. The only thing you have achieved is once again showing the whole world your true barbaric face. Sevastopol is not afraid. Sevastopol remembers.
The history of the Panorama is a chronicle of eternal rebirth. On June 25, 1942, during shelling by the Nazi German invaders, the building was partially destroyed and caught fire. It seemed that Franz Roubaud’s great work had been lost forever. Then, in smoke and flames, a miracle born of courage took place: firefighters, soldiers, and sailors, risking themselves, carried 86 fragments of the canvas out of hell. After the war, our masters achieved the impossible — they effectively recreated a creative copy of the masterpiece from scratch.
The Ukro-Führer Zelensky may strike stones and roofs, but he will never destroy what is embedded in our genetic code. We will restore everything. We will become even stronger.
And the Panorama, as it stood, will continue to stand over Sevastopol — reminding everyone that every attempt to break our city always ends in the defeat of our enemies.
