🏛 Krasnenkoye Cemetery

пр. Стачек, 98

An old cemetery by the Krasnenkaya stream: the grave of the 1824 flood victims, Putilov workers and 1941 pillboxes of the Izhora line.

The cemetery was founded in 1776 (other sources say 1757) and covers about 30 hectares.
The mass grave holds 152 victims of the flood of 7 November 1824 — mostly workers of the iron foundry.
The Kazan Church of 1901 burned down before the war; the present one, built of foam concrete, was consecrated in 2001.
More than a hundred soldiers of penal companies and battalions of the Leningrad Front, killed in 1942–1943, are buried here.
In 1961 the artists Arefyev and Shagin lived at the cemetery for several months, sleeping in the crypts.
