Historical overview
The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The oldest tombstone dates to the early 20th century so it can be inferred the cemetery was founded in that era. It first appears on a Russian map of the region from the first half of the 20th century. The fence was erected by ESJF in July 2015.
