The largest cemetery in St. Petersburg, it measures nearly 618 acres and was established in 1874. Before the 1950s, the original name was "Uspenskoe." A church was built in the cemetery in 1874, but was closed in 1934 and demolished in the 1950s. Aside from six Russian Orthodox lots, some areas was allocated for non-Orthodox burials, such as Lutherans and then in 1911 Catholics. There were mass burials from 1918 to 1919 of those who died from the famine. During World War II, Soviet soldiers were buried in common graves here. In 1958 an order was issued to improve the cemetery, which resulted in demolition of the majority of the old graves, among them the graves were those of many notable citizens such as artists, opera singers, and physicians. A special section of the cemetery was allocated for the graves of actors; there were also two military sections with common graves and individual tombs. Over 10 historical grave sites are under the protection of the state.
