The Novoivanovskoe department of Siblag included men, women’s and hard labour sections serving a State farm and a brickworks. The cemetery was adjacent to the infirmary. Mortality was particularly high among prisoners in the late 1930s and during the war years. Lists of those who are buried there are not available; only individual names are known, such as the hieromonk Philaret Sreznevsky (1884-1942). In 2002 he was canonised by the Russian Orthodox Church.
The extent of the cemetery is not defined. According to staff at penitentiary facility No 1612/3, located in the Novoivanovskoe settlement, in 1983-1984 the River Kiya washed away part of the bank and burials were exposed – human remains and coffins. On 30 October 2004, the camp administration and the church erected a cross in memory of the holy martyr Philaret Sreznevsky on the site of the camp cemetery.
The electronic Book of Remembrance of Soviet Germans (Gedenkbuch) contains biographical entries on more than 100,000 Soviet Germans variously sentenced under Article 58, deported as forced settlers, or mobilised in camps of forced labourers.
