Mass Grave to Soviet soldiers at East cemetery

The mass grave at the East cemetery in Izhevsk holds the remains of Soviet soldiers who died during World War II, marked by memorial structures and inscriptions. The site contains multiple burial sections and stone monuments that record the names and military units of those laid to rest here.

The burial site was established after World War II to honor Soviet military casualties from the conflict. It later received official designation as a regional cultural heritage monument in 1991, securing its protection status.

This is a gathering place for yearly memorial ceremonies where local residents lay flowers and observe moments of silence for the fallen. These gatherings connect the community through shared remembrance of the past.

The cemetery is accessible to visitors and can be reached on foot, with Ulitsa Ordzhonikidze providing direct access to the site. Visitors should dress appropriately and conduct themselves respectfully, particularly during memorial ceremonies.

The site preserves original Soviet stonework and monumental plaques in a design style that is uncommon across Russia. Many visitors overlook the detailed reliefs and inscriptions that record both individual names and entire military regiments.
