Background

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.
