From 1931 onwards, dekulakized peasant families from Central Russia, Ukraine, and the Volga German republic – and from other parts of the Komi republic – were sent to Noshul village. In 1940 deported Polish citizens were moved to the special settlements of the Noshul village council. An orphanage was organised there for up to 50 pre-school children and a home for disabled Poles among those deported. Those who died were buried in the village graveyard in individual graves.
In 2000, the Priluzsky district administration established a memorial in the graveyard, a wooden cross over a granite slab that reads, “Never forget the victims of political repression”.
