Background

Borovoi existed from the early 1930s to the mid-1950s, when it was closed for habitation. The abandoned cemetery is in a wooded area. The numbers of men, women and children buried there (dekulakized peasant families and other deportees) have not be established. In 2003, the cemetery was investigated by an expedition from the Kortkeross Centre for Children’s Extracurricular Education and a plan of the locality was drawn up. The expedition members erected a commemorative cross there.
