The cemetery of the Vorkutlag infirmary was located in Yuzhny (southern) settlement. Prisoners who died in the hospital, and at the camp outposts of mineshafts Nos 9, 10 and 11, were buried here. So were prisoners who worked at the Vorkutlag Teplichnoe farm. They were buried both in individual and common graves.
Тhe Memorial online database (2025) includes 129,473 victims in the Komi Republic. (See Nizhny Chov.)
It names almost 55,000 who were sent to the camps, where more than 10,000 died.
The database lists almost ten thousand prisoners in the Vorkutlag branch of Ukhtpechlag, 1,013 of whom died there between 1935 and 1938. (In 1950 there were 63,000 prisoners in Vorkutlag: see The Gulag in Northwest Russia, 1931-1960.)
