Intalag camp outpost No. 1 came into being in 1941. It was located in the Gorny settlement (known after 1956 as Pervy Gorny, known within Inta town limits). From 1948 onwards it was transferred to the Minlag system. Prisoners were first engaged in construction work; then they worked to service the first group of Inta mines, Nos 1-3. Their cemetery was organised 400 metres away (now Trudovaya Street in Inta) on the way to the work area (today Gogol Street). The total number buried here is unknown. The Inta Memorial society says that there were several thousand. The cemetery was closed in 1956 when the camp ceased to function.

From the late 1950s onwards, there was subsidence in the district as the mine workings filled with ground water. At present the settlement no longer exists and its territory and that of the cemetery are almost entirely under water. Several metal crosses and fragments of grave railings remain on the banks of the reservoir.

In 1990 a Lithuanian expedition erected a 4-metre-high metal cross on the site of the cemetery; in 2003 it was washed away and fell into the water. In 2004 T. Dzięgielewski, the son of Josif T. Dzięgielewski (1891-1941) who died in the camp, erected a memorial cross on the banks of the reservoir.
