From the late 1930s, Ukhtizhemlag prisoners who died in the infirmary of camp outpost No. 7 were buried on Mount Vetlosyan. There were both common and individual graves. The total number buried there has not been established. Individual names are known: the Komi writer and political figure A.A. Maegov (pseudonym Varysh; died 30 January 1942); the Catholic priest Stanislav Shulminsky (died 20 November 1941).
Today the burial ground has almost vanished; its territory has been used for industrial buildings or turned into allotments. In 1989 thanks to the efforts of the Ukhta-Pechora Memorial Society, with the support of the town administration, an Orthodox cross was erected there with the inscription, “To the slain innocents, Memorial, Ukhta, 1989”. In 1994 the cross was restored.
