A camp outpost of the North Dalstroi mining department existed at the 72nd km of the Kolyma Highway in the 1940s and 1950s. Sevvostlag prisoners built a glass factory and then worked there. The camp burial ground was about 100 metres from the Stekolny settlement graveyard.
Today the burial ground has gone, being partially replaced by the existing graveyard. In 1994, a privately sponsored monument was erected and consecrated at the entrance to the graveyard. Its inscription reads:
“To the eternal memory of the inmates of Stalinist camps, innocent victims of political repression …”
Memorial’s online database (2025) names 11,427 victims in the Magadan Region (BR 7,546). See Maldyak 49-04.
Drawing on all its sources the database names 1,833 who were sent to Sevvostlag (349 of whom died there).
