The Kochmes farm was set up in 1935-1936 as a branch of Ukhtpechlag. Thereafter it was constantly transferred from one camp system to another. In 1940, for instance, it was the main supplier of vegetables to Vorkutlag. A considerable number of the prisoners were women sentenced for “political crimes” (Article 58). From the late 1930s until the end of the 1940s there was a children’s home at the outpost with places for 150. After 1948 the farm belonged to Minlag; it was disbanded in 1952.

The prisoners burial ground was located in the forest. It is no longer possible to establish it boundaries; no grave markers have survived. In August 2000 a group of local historians and schoolchildren from Inta put up a wooden golubets-cross on the area between the burial ground and the Kochmes settlement. The inscription reads, “To those who did not return”.
