Background

A camp outpost existed in the 1940s and 1950s at the Dneprovsky tin-mine (Dalstroi southwest mining department). The Sevvostlag prisoners burial ground was 600 metres from the camp. The numbers buried there has not been established.

In 2006 about 60-70 stakes bearing metal number-plates survived, indicating the burial place and number of the grave. That year Debin businessman V.A. Naiman erected an Orthodox cross at the cemetery and in 2007 a sign was added to the cross:

“This commemorative cross marks the burial ground of prisoners from the Dneprovsky mine, interred here between 1941 and 1955. The cross was consecrated on 25 September 2006 by Archpriest Nikolai (Povalsky).”
