Background

The camp outpost at the 1990 km rail loop was part of the Sevpechlag (after 1950 Pechorlag) system. The prisoners burial ground is located southeast of the camp on both banks of the Besymyanny stream. Traces of burials have survived and several grave crosses. The numbers buried there have not been established.

The territory of the burial ground and the camp outpost was studied in 1993 and again in 2001 by staff of the Inta museum of history and local studies who drew up a plan of their layout. In 2013 a wooden cross was erected on the presumed site of the infirmary with a board bearing the words: “To the victims of the Gulag. Lazaret. 1940-1958”.
