Between 1940 and 1947 the agricultural outpost (No. 1) of the Molotov (Perm) Region department of Corrective-Labour Camps and Colonies was located at Gurino village. Its burial ground was on the outskirts of Gurino; prisoners were buried there in individual and common graves. These were originally marked by stakes bearing numbers, but none have survived.
It is unknown how many prisoners died and were buried there. A list of 118 people interred there was compiled from archival documents at the Information Centre of the regional Internal Affairs department. In 2000 thanks to T.N. Ponosova, a teacher at School No. 2 in Ilynka, a commemorative cross was erected in the burial ground.
Years of Terror: A Book in Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repression, Perm (13 vols. 1998-2010) includes 35,000 biographical entries for those shot or sent to the camps.
The Memorial online database (2025) lists 45,916 victims of political terror in the Perm Region (BR 35,672).
7,617 were shot, almost all during the Great Terror. Over 16,000 were held in the camps. (See Perm cemetery.)
