 Battle of Malakoff - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The town was covered by a line of works marked by the Flagstaff and central bastions, and separated from the Redan by the inner harbour.
Lieut.-Col. Eduard Totleben, the Russian chief engineer, had very early begun work on these sites, and daily re-creating, rearming and improving the fortifications, finally connected them by a continuous enceinte.
Yet Sevastopol was not, early in October 1854, the towering fortress it afterwards became, and Todleben himself maintained that, had the allies immediately assaulted, they would have succeeded in taking the place.

The major operation of the Crimean War (1853-56), in which 50,000 British and French troops (joined by 10,000 Piedmontese troops during 1855), commanded by Lord Raglan and Gen. François Canrobert, besieged and finally captured the main naval base of the Russian Black Sea fleet.
Sevastopol's defenses had been built by the military engineer Colonel Eduard Totleben, and the Russian troops were commanded by Prince Aleksandr Menshikov.
The siege lasted 11 months because the allies lacked heavy artillery to smash the defenses effectively, while all Russian efforts to break the siege failed.

With the Russian army and its commander Aleksandr Sergeyevich Menshikov gone, the defence of Sevastopol was led by Vice Admirals Vladimir Kornilov and Pavel Nakhimov, assisted by Menshikov's chief engineer, Lieutenant Colonel Eduard Totleben.
While Totleben extended the fortifications around the Redan, the Flagstaff Bastion and the Malakoff, the British chief engineer John Fox Burgoyne sought to take the Malakoff, which he saw as the key to Sevastopol.
Siege works were begun to bring the Allied troops nearer to the Malakoff; in response, Totleben dug rifle pits from where the Russians could snipe at the besiegers.
