Background

In early 1941 a corrective-labour camp was set up in the Kovrovsky district to build a hydroelectric power station on the Klyazma river (cf. Opoklag, 1940). In 1941-1943 prisoners from the Ostashkovo camp were evacuated there. Those who died were buried in a separate burial ground in the woods not far from Sergeitsevo village. Among them was one of Russia’s new martyrs, Archpriest Sergy Konstantinov. His grave-marker has survived.

The burial ground is still being used to bury deceased prisoners from the special-regime corrective labour colony No. 7 of the RF Federal Penal Service.

Books of Remembrance

The Memorial online database (2025) names 12,364 victims from the Vladimir Region Book of Remembrance.
