Background

The camp outpost at the 1973 km rail loop on the right bank of the Chernaya river was part of the Sevpechlag (after 1950 Pechorlag) system. The area of the outpost was studied in May-June 2001 by a group of schoolchildren and teachers from Inta Gymnasium No. 2, led by V.A. Aduyeva, deputy direct of the Inta district museum.

Burials of prisoners were found in two locations, one dating back to the early 1940s. No grave-markers have survived. The numbers buried there have not been established. Next to the hill stands a wooden cross that is thought to have been placed there in the 1950s or 1960s.
