Highest order not to refer to Sevastopol as Akhtiar nor Eupatoria as Kozlov.

 

Submittal by the Minister of Justice to the Senate.

 

5 February 1826, No. 1947.

 

The Chief of His Imperial Majesty’s Main Staff informed me that the Sovereign Emperor deigned to issue the following Highest Order: that the city of Sevastopol no longer be referred to as Akhtiar, but always as Sevastopol. Likewise, the town of Eupatoria [Yevpatoriya] is not to be called Kozlov, but Eupatoria.

 

I have the honor of submitting this Highest Order to the Ruling Senate to be carried out as appropriate.
