Prisoners of Lokchimlag (then Ustvymlag) were buried next to the timber-processing factory from 1938 until the mid-1950s. Then the burial ground was abandoned. The numbers buried there have not been established.
In summer 2004 the graves were investigated by the Kortkeross Centre for Children’s Extracurricular Education, together with members of St Petersburg Memorial and the German cultural association of the Komi Republic. A plan of the burials was made and a metal cross was erected. On that visit the expedition members also partially cleared and tidied the burial ground.
In 2007 an individual sign was added in memory of K.A. Polekhov, a Lokchimlag prisoner who died in captivity.
