The Sevastopol Sketches (pre-reform Russian: Севастопольскіе разсказы, romanized: Sevastópolʹskiye razskázy; post-reform Russian: Севастопольские рассказы, romanized: Sevastópolʹskiye rasskázy), translated into English as Sebastopol Sketches or Sebastopol Stories or Sevastopol,[1] are three short stories by Leo Tolstoy published in 1855 to record his experiences during the previous year's siege of Sevastopol in Crimea.

These brief "sketches" formed the basis of many episodes in Tolstoy's most famous novel, War and Peace.

The detailed tour is arguably similar to one Tolstoy may have been given upon arrival in Sevastopol in November 1854.

As part of the tour, the narrator takes you through the dressing-station or makeshift hospital in the Assembly Hall.

The narrative focus alternates between Mikhail and Vladimir Kozeltsov, two brothers who both fight and eventually die for the Russian side.
