Special settlement No 3 (later known as No 6) of the Noshul village council was set up by dekulakized peasant families, deported from central Russia. In 1930 the population was 458 and the adult males worked, for the most part, in the logging industry. Those who died were buried in individual graves in a graveyard created 500 metres from the settlement in the surrounding pine forest. The number of men, women and children buried there has not been established.
Repentance: the Komi Republic Martyrology of the Victims of Mass Political Repression (11 vols. 1998-2016), includes entries on 65,000 individuals, from dekulakized peasant families and former Polish citizens to Soviet German forced labourers, who were deported to the area.
The Komi Book of Remembrance lists 124 individuals who from 1930 onwards were deported to Veldorya with their families or were born there later (see Memorial online database).
