The Spornoe camp outpost of Sevvostlag existed from the mid-1930s onward. Its burial ground was located along the road (now overgrown) and fenced off with posts and barbed wire (fragments remain). Grave stakes with traces of nameplates have survived but the number plates have gone. The number buried here has not been established.

The burial was discovered in 2005 by V.A. Naiman, a businessman from Debin, and that same year he erected an Orthodox cross on the site with the following inscription: “This commemorative cross has been erected in the burial ground of prisoners of the Spornoe settlement. Prisoners were buried here between 1935 and 1955. This cross was consecrated by Archpriest Nikolai (Povalsky), 14 September 2005.”
