Verkhne-Gnilovskoye Cemetery Explained
Verkhne-Gnilovskoye Cemetery (Russian: Верхне-Гниловское кладбище, "Upper Gnilovskoy cemetery") is a cemetery in Rostov-on-Don, Russia.[1] In 2015, areas of the cemetery were described as "impassible thickets".[2] [3] [4]
History
The cemetery is located in Rostov-on-Don. The territory of the cemetery is limited with three streets – Portovaya, Kulagina and Meydunarodnaya. Total area is 4.5 hectares.[5] In 1998, when the Northern cemetery had problems with new places, sub-burials in related graves were resumed.
During the war, warriors who were killed in the battle for Rostov's liberation were buried in mass graves. A monument was created to their memory. A monument to pilots who died in a helicopter crash “Mi-6” was created in the main alley in 1969.[6] [7]
Famous people buried in the cemetery
Vladimir Semenovich Shcherbakov (1891–1967), a machinist on the Russian cruiser Aurora, was buried in Upper-Gnilovsky cemetery.[8] [9]
Jenya Repko, young Rostov hero of The Great Patriotic war, was buried there too.[10]
