Novodevichy Cemetery

A cemetery where during the USSR only very important people were buried. Some monuments are real works of art! Worth taking a walk in it, if you can handle it!

It's very interesting place to see history.

We were taken there as part of a city tour, and while respecting that many "rich and famous" and influential people are laid to rest, I had not heard of most so the significance was lost on me. Some of the gravestones are really impressive and works of art. There are many tour groups so the place lacks the serenity and dignity of a cemetery.

Very interesting place to learn Russian history, well worth the 300 rubles entrance fee. Lots of beautiful sculptures. We went there in a small group and our tour guide bought the tickets for us from the office near the entrance, though there is no showing of the ticket price, there was a date and serial number stamped on the back of the ticket.

It’s almost like open air museum! Amazing place!
