BTW, please clear this up for me. For the pronunciation of “Sevastopol” is the accent on the second syllable or on the third?

For the pronunciation of “Sevastopol” is the accent on the second syllable or on the third?

Sevastopol (/ˌsjivæˈstoʊpəlj/[1] or, more usually, /sɨˈvæstəpəl, -pɒl/[citation needed]; Ukrainian and Russian: Севасто́поль; Crimean Tatar: Aqyar; Greek: Σεβαστούπολη, Sevastoupoli)

In English traditional pronunciation it is SeVASTopol. However, the Russians say it SevastOPolj (with a soft L). The Greek original is SevastOOpoli or even SebastOOPoli, the Noble City.
