In the late 1930s, one division of Lokchimlag existed near Mordino village. Prisoners who died were buried next to the camp in common graves. When Lokchimlag merged with Ustvymlag in August 1940, the burial ground was abandoned. An exploratory local history expedition of the Kortkeross Centre for Children’s Extracurricular Education studied and drew up a plan of the burials in September 2005.
Repentance: the Komi Republic Martyrology of the Victims of Mass Political Repression (11 vols. 1998-2016), includes biographical entries on 60,000 who were shot or sent to the camps.
Drawing on that source, the Memorial online database (2025) includes 129,473 victims in the Komi Republic. (See Syktyvkar Kirul.)
It names almost 55,000 sent to the camps, where over 10,000 died: half were convicted in 1936-1940, including 7,977 who subsequently died in the camps. Drawing on the Komi Book of Remembrance and other sources, the database lists 26 Lokchimlag inmates, one of whom was again imprisoned in 1937 and nine others who died in the camps between 1940 and 1943.
