A Yagrinlag camp outpost was located near the Lomovoe rail station. The prisoners excavated ballast in the quarry which was sent to the concrete factory in Molotovsk (Severodvinsk). There was a small brickworks at the outpost and an electricity generating station. German POWs are known to have been among the prisoners there. The prisoners’ barracks were on a hill not far from the station; the cemetery was beyond the lake.
In summer 2013, local historian G.V. Shaverina, chairwoman of the Severodvinsk section of the Sovest society, and archaeologist T.F. Melnik studied the area of the former camp outpost. Villagers indicated where the camp burial ground was located but no traces of burials survived there.
