The cemetery of prisoners and forced labourer of the 7th division of Tagillag was located near Mount Goly Kamen, today the urban sub-district Goly Kamen. In 1941-1943 those who died were buried in common graves; later they had individual graves. The numbers of prisoners and forced labourers buried in the Visimskoe cemetery has not been established.
In the early 1950s inhabitants of Nizhny Tagil were buried in neighbouring sections of the cemetery. Later the section of camp burials was covered with a layer of waste to a depth of five metres. Today the camp burials are outside the borders of the functioning graveyard.
Information about some deceased Gulag inmates can be found in Memorial’s Victims of Political Terror database with its 3 million entries, or in the Open List database (“Victims of Political Repression in the USSR, 1917-1991”).
The Memorial online database (2021) lists 21,559 prisoners from the Sverdlovsk Region Book of Remembrance, half of whom were living in the region before their arrest.
