Background

In 1930-1932, those shot in Ust-Sysolsk, today Syktyvkar (capital of the Komi Republic), were buried in a wooded area on the outskirts of the town, near the Kirul suburb. At present, the buildings of the city airport occupy the site.

Books of Remembrance

Repentance: the Komi Republic Martyrology of the Victims of Mass Political Repression (11 vols. 1998-2016), includes biographical entries on 60,000 who were shot or sent to the camps.

Drawing on that source, the Memorial online database (2025) includes 129,473 victims in the Komi Republic. See Nizhny Chov.

4,174 were shot, more than half during the Great Terror (2,633) but no more than 11 are named for 1930-1932.
