From 1944 to 1946, a column of forced labourers from Kirgizia were allocated to the village of Romanovo. Those who died there were buried, in individual and mass graves, in a separate plot next to the village graveyard, two kms southwest of the village. The number buried there is unknown.
In August 2002, members of Perm Youth Memorial, then taking part in the “Rivers of Memory” expedition, established a commemorative sign at the plot, a wooden post on which a crescent moon was cut.
The Memorial online database (2021) names 45,916 victims of political terror in the Perm Region.
Over 16,000 were sent to the camps; and a thousand deported from the Region. Police records list a further 10,244 deported to the Perm Region from other parts of the USSR: 3,390 “kulaks”, 3,588 Soviet Germans and 2,515 from the Crimea but does not mention those from Kirgizia.
