It is noted that during the preparation for the conference, Yalta, its surroundings, as well as the waters of Yalta and Sevastopol, "turned into an impregnable fortress."
The section contains the combat directives of the headquarters of the Black Sea Fleet, which indicate the transfer of significant forces to the Yalta region to protect against possible enemy attacks from the sea and from the air.
Also published were maps of the organization of defense of specified sections, an order by the commander of the Black Sea Fleet Air Force on the creation of a military association specifically for the Yalta Conference, and other documents.
In addition, the collection includes previously unpublished photographs of events held during the Yalta Conference, including a visit to Winston Churchill of the Sapun Mountains, joint feasts of the British and Americans with the heroes of the Black Sea.
