Summary/Abstract: After near total destruction in World War II, the naval port of Sevastopol was rebuilt. This article charts the process of local authorities who, contrary to plans from Moscow, designed an urban biography for the city through monuments, street names, buildings, and guidebooks that emphasized Sevastopols pre-Revolutionary heroism as an example for Soviet citizens labor in defense and reconstruction. Localism took the place of Soviet centralization of authority and planning.
