The Konetsgorskoe division of Kuloilag in the village of Rochegda, was in existence from 1940 to 1942. Certain evidence suggests that the majority of prisoners were Polish citizens. The camp burial ground was organised 2.5 kms away from the village. Today the burial ground is abandoned and the road is impassable most of the year. The numbers buried there is not known and lists of names are unavailable.

The name of one prisoner, the Pole Jan Szubert, is known: he died in the camp on 9 July 1941. In 1996, Szubert’s sister Apolonia Sobolewska had a cross erected in the former camp burial ground in memory of all the prisoners who were buried there. The inscription on the cross (see photo), in Russian and Polish, reads: “To our fathers, brothers and sons … Rest eternal! May they be remembered forever – the Poles, Russians and all who died in the Konetsgorskoe division of the Gulag. From compatriots in Poland. Rochegda, June 1996.”
