Krasnoe Cemetery, Historic cemetery in Nizhny Novgorod, Russia.
Krasnoe Cemetery is a burial ground in Nizhny Novgorod featuring traditional Russian tomb designs and a memorial brick wall. The expansive grounds on Pushkin Street hold numerous grave markers spanning more than a century of burials.
The grounds were established in the early 20th century and served as a burial site for prison inmates during 1918 to 1938. This period shaped its current role as a place of remembrance.
A brick wall displays memorial plaques for those remembered here, drawing visitors who come to honor loved ones. The grounds serve as a place where families maintain connections across generations through regular visits and remembrance.
The cemetery is accessible daily and can be reached on foot from Pushkin Street. Parking is available near the main entrance, and visitors should approach the grounds with respect for those remembered here.
The grounds contain mass grave sections where victims rest in unmarked burial areas, a less visible part of the site's past. This hidden element reveals a lesser-known chapter in the city's history.
