Eponym Aleksandr L. Malyy

Malyy is a damaged lunar crater that lies on the far side of the Moon, behind the eastern limb as seen from the Earth. It is located to the south-southeast of Artamonov crater. Slightly further to the east-northeast lies Deutsch crater. The quadrant of terrain to the southwest of Malyy forms a nearly level plain marked by small craters and buried features.

Several small craterlets overlap parts of the rim of Malyy, and the edge is generally eroded and uneven. The satellite crater 'Malyy G' just to the east is much better defined, with a crisp, sharp edge, and is most likely a younger crater.

By convention these features are identified on lunar maps by placing the letter on the side of the crater mid-point that is closest to Malyy crater.
