      • The cemetery was laid out in 1823 as the New Lazarus Cemetery, and was named Tikhvin in 1876.
      • In 1935–1937 about 60 gravestones were brought here from other cemeteries of the city — this is how the “Necropolis of Masters of the Arts” appeared.
      • The Church-Tomb of the Tikhvin Icon was built in 1869–1871 with money from the Polezhayev merchants; in 1931 a post office was set up in it.
      • After 1966 the cemetery was considered closed; the exceptions were the ashes of Glazunov, brought from France in 1972, and Tovstonogov in 1989.
