Lithuanians were deported to Korbik special settlement in 1948. By the mid-1950s there were about 150 people there. The cemetery was laid out next to the settlement and 30-50 people are buried there: their names are inscribed on tall crosses on their graves. In 1956, a wooden sculpture of the Holy Virgin was placed in the centre of the cemetery. After the special settlement regime was lifted, the Lithuanians returned home. There were also several families of Volga Germans, Ukrainians, Kalmyks and Greeks living at Korbik. The adult males were engaged in logging operations and transporting the timber to the river.

In the 1970s the houses in the village burned down, but the cemetery was not affected. In 1989-1990 a partial exhumation was carried out in order to rebury Lithuanians in their own country. In 2007 the cemetery was studied by the “Destination, Siberia!”  youth expedition from Lithuania. By 2010 the original sculpture of the Virgin Mary had become dilapidated and was replaced by a new version.
