From the early 1940s prisoners of the construction brigade were buried in the infirmary cemetery of Pechorzheldorlag near the Vylyu rail station. Later, from the mid-1940s, prisoners and forced settlers (mainly from Ukraine) were buried there: they worked for the camp’s Central Sewing Combine which closed down in 1954. The dead were buried in common and individual graves with posts bearing their official numbers. The total number buried there is unknown, there are no lists of names.

In July 2005 an exploratory group of the Pechora Memorial society, led by B.B. Ivanov, studied the territory of the cemetery. Not far from the railroad (at the 8th 1877 km mark) the expedition members erected a memorial cross. The inscription reads, “To those tormented in captivity. Pechorlag, 1940s-1950s”.
