In 1949, deported Lithuanians were transported to the Irkutsk Region’s Zalarinsky district, where they were allocated to various settlements. The number of Lithuanians in Zablagar village has not been established. Those who died there were buried in a separate section of the village graveyard in accordance with Catholic rites, and crosses and name plates were raised over their graves. The total number buried there is not known.
In 2007 the Zablagar graveyard was studied by Lithuanian researcher Gintautas Alekna. He carried out a photo survey, uncovered four burials with grave-markers, and drew up a plan of their layout.
Research on the Genocide of the Lithuanian People (Lietuvos gyventoju Genocidas; 3 vols. 1999-2009) contains about 130,000 biographical entries (in Lithuanian). Volume 3 covers the period from 1948 onwards.
