Pyatnitskoye Kladbishche

A very old cemetery. In my opinion, they no longer bury in it. Although the church is working. And it's good that there are practically no people

Excursions are organized around the cemetery as part of the "Walking Around Moscow" project. Initially, victims of the plague of 1771 were buried in the cemetery. Then it became merchant. There is a crypt of the Smirnov merchants who produced vodka. Temple of Simeon the Persian in 1916. The grave of the poet Boris Slutsky.

The Old Moscow Cemetery. It was founded in 1771 by decree of Catherine the Second. It was originally considered plague, as evidenced by its location behind the Krestovsky Zastava. Later it was considered a merchant. Many graves and crypts of that time. The Governor-General of Moscow 1812-1813 was buried at the cemetery. Count Fedor Vasilyevich Rostopchin. Scientist, poet Alexander Leonidovich Chizhevsky. Poet Ivan Zakharovich Surikov. (What are you standing, touching, a thin mountain ash ?; Steppe and steppe all around; Here is my village, this is my home ...) Parking is bad. A small parking lot is occupied by the transport of employees of local offices.

Clean, old cemetery. Built in 1771 by order of Catherine. There is a problem with parking, but local guys let them into the territory.

The old cemetery. Now there is a big problem with parking, which creates an inconvenience for our ninety-year-old grandmother. Very attentive and benevolent people work in the directorate: they all kindly explained to us and no queue. Many new burials appeared in the old part around the temple. Carefully made a new columbarium. There was still a lot of snow at Verbnoe 2018. May the earth to all departed be in fluff!
