Background

The Shchuchy Mys special settlement for dekulakized peasant families was set up in the Kargasoksky district in 1931. Deported Latvians, Soviet Germans and forced settlers from Moldavia were sent there in 1941. Those who died were buried in mass and individual graves in a cemetery half a kilometre to the south of the village.

In summer 2006, the territory of the special settlement and the graveyard was investigated by the “Forgiveness and Memory” local history group of the Kargasoksky district.
