Background

A camp outpost of the North Dalstroi mining department existed at the 72nd km of the Kolyma Highway in the 1940s and 1950s. Sevvostlag prisoners built a glass factory and then worked there. The camp burial ground was about 100 metres from the Stekolny settlement graveyard.

Today the burial ground has gone, being partially replaced by the existing graveyard. In 1994, a privately sponsored monument was erected and consecrated at the entrance to the graveyard. Its inscription reads:

“To the eternal memory of the inmates of Stalinist camps, innocent victims of political repression …”
