Excavating burial mounds near Feodosia
In 1853, on Aivazovsky's initiative, 22 burial mounds are excavated on Mount Tepe-Oba: they yield gold necklaces and earrings, a sphinx, clay statuettes and coins; the best finds he sends to the Hermitage. The excavations lead to his election as a full member of the Russian Geographical Society.

Besieged Sevastopol and Kornilov's order
With the outbreak of the Crimean War Aivazovsky organises an exhibition of his battle pictures in Sevastopol and long refuses to leave the besieged city; he leaves for Kharkiv, where his wife and daughters then live, only after Kornilov's official order and long persuasion. During the war he visited besieged Sevastopol twice.
