🏛 Bogoslovskoye Cemetery

пр. Мечникова, 31

The cemetery where Viktor Tsoi and Mikhail Gorshenyov are buried, with mass graves of Leningrad's defenders nearby.

The cemetery is named after the Church of St John the Theologian; it was founded on its present site in 1841.
The wooden church of 1915–1916 was demolished in 1938; a new wooden Church of St John the Theologian was consecrated in October 2000.
Viktor Tsoi was buried here on 19 August 1990 — about 30 thousand people came to say goodbye, although the band had asked people not to come.
In 2014 a stele with a mosaic portrait, from a sketch by his widow, was placed on the grave of Mikhail Gorshenyov of "Korol i Shut".
The conductor Yevgeny Mravinsky, who led the Leningrad Philharmonic orchestra for fifty years, is also buried here; the gravestone is by the sculptor L. K. Lazarev.
