The Nyalinskoe special settlement was created in August 1931 by dekulakized peasants (35 families). During the first two winters many died of hunger and cold. They were buried in the Yurty Nyalinskie village graveyard, one km from the special settlement. At first, they were buried in common graves; later individually. The numbers of men, women and children who died then have not been established, a few names are known. For decades a burial mound of a common grave remained, to which people came to remember the dead.

In 1999, thanks to the effort of V.V. Kulikov, a former forced settler, and with the participation of pupils from the Nyalinskoe village school, a brass plaque was attached to the mound with the following inscription:

“In this common grave lie the remains of 2nd-category forced settlers, victims of the Soviet Bolshevik Terror. … They were starved to death in 1932-1933. Peace eternal, your memory is radiant. The Stalinist authoritarian regime not only destroyed millions, delivering a heavy blow to agriculture and the economy as a whole, but morally crippled generations, giving rise to a moral mutation that will long make itself felt. Lord, help and preserve us!”

On the surrounding fence the son of a forced settler buried there affixed a small iron cross and a plaque reading: “Here in this common grave lies Ivan Afinogenovich Yurov”. In 2011, thanks to G.F. Kalininicheva, chairwoman of the Council of Veterans, the Nyalinskoe village administration replaced the worn plaque with a granite headstone bearing the inscription, “Remember those who died of hunger in the 1930s, in the Twentieth Century”.
