In the 1940s camp outpost No 5 of Sevpechzheldorlag and the central repair workshops were located in Abez, the headquarters of the camp system. The camp’s cemetery was discovered in the early 1990s by local historian V.V. Lozhkin who tidied the area and placed stakes bearing number plates on the graves as a stylised representation of the original camp markers. The burials are thought to date to the mid-1940s. The numbers buried there have not been established.

In September 2005, the cemetery was studied by an expedition of the Inta museum of history and local studies together with pupils from secondary school No 6 (expedition director, N.A. Baranov).
