Serafimovskoye Kladbishche

A large an interesting Cemetery. The Memorial to some of those who died in the Nucleur Submarine 'Kursk' make it interesting enough to visit, plus the main War Memorial to those who served during WWII. Many interesting sculptures etc on the Gravestones. There is a small Church and shop inside.

A sad place. But there are burials of famous personalities and heroes here. The eternal flame adjusts to a certain wave. Bright memory!

As for the traditional idea of ​​a cemetery, it is worth noting that cemeteries in St. Petersburg are very uncomfortable for visitors. Great crowding of graves. The groomed lion's share of graves. Often, if the desired grave is near the church or away from the paths, you can’t go to it. And the fence and bushes and trees interfere. Similar problems are characteristic of the Serafimovsky cemetery. This cemetery is traditionally military. And where the central alleys or purely military graves there are more or less order. But a little to the side by a windbreak of fences, bushes and trees. I have my own view of the cemeteries. I’m a birdwatch and cemeteries along with parks are good places to watch. Serafimovskoe cemetery was not particularly pleased with the variety. Ravens, jackdaws, pigeons, tits, siskins ... One pika came across and was like a woodpecker.

The place is very quiet, there is an entrance but no exit. Eternal peace...

Burial place of many military men.
