In 1938 Susuman became the centre of Dalstroi’s western mining department; in 1949-1956 the headquarters of Sevvostlag’s western department were located here. The hospital cemetery is within the city limits, next to houses (now uninhabited) on Transportnaya Street. Often number plates have partially survived on the stakes marking the burials and certain of the interments can be determined by the burial mounds. The total number buried here has not been established.
Information about some deceased Gulag inmates can be found in Memorial’s Victims of Political Terror database with its 3 million entries, or in the Open List database (“Victims of Political Repression in the USSR, 1917-1991”).
