Domodedovo Cemetery, Cemetery in Istomikha, Russia
Domodedovo Cemetery is a large cemetery in Istomikha, Moscow Oblast, Russia. It covers about 127 hectares and features two churches, a military memorial section, and rows of graves with portraits and inscriptions.
Domodedovo Cemetery opened in 1987 and served as a burial ground for Moscow. In 2006, a military memorial necropolis was added, and in 2024 work began to expand the grounds.
The cemetery includes a memorial section for veterans and service members, where visitors often leave flowers. Two small churches on the grounds hold services, and the memorial chapel is a stop for those paying respects.
The cemetery is vast, so wear comfortable shoes and allow time to walk between sections. A regular bus route runs through the grounds, helping visitors reach distant parts.
Among the graves are those of poet Yuri Aikhenvald and composer Moisei Vainberg. The cemetery also has a bus route that runs through it, a rare feature for a burial ground.
