Near the town of Malinovaya between 1941 and 1944 a punitive outpost of Sevpechlag operated during the summer months. Prisoners extracted and processed quarzitic sandstone. Blocks from these boulders were used to surface the railroad bridge across the Kozhym river. Prisoners who died there were buried, it was presumed, next to the industrial area of the camp.
In 2010, an expedition of children from Special School No 6 in Inta, together with the “Dvenadtsat” hiking club found the site of the camp industrial area with the remains of buildings and equipment. They erected a wooden cross on the slope above Malinovaya. In 2012, a group of Inta schoolchildren led by their teacher N.A. Kiseloyva found traces of burials near the industrial section: eight sunken graves in a fir grove.
