Wooden Pomeranian-style crosses mark the grave pits, and families have attached 114 personal memorial plaques, some with names and photographs.

The site is only accessible by private car and is located about 20 kilometers from the nearest major city. Wear good shoes since the paths run through forest terrain and can become muddy or slippery, especially after rain or snow.

The burial site was found in 1997 by Ivan and Sergei Chugunkov, whose father Dmitri had witnessed an NKVD operation in 1937 or 1938 but never showed the family where he was detained, out of fear. Searches had begun in the mid-1980s and lasted over ten years. Yury Dmitriev later established the names of nearly all those shot here, while at Sandarmokh only about half have been identified.
