From 1944 to 1946, a column of forced labourers from Kirgizia were allocated to the village of Romanovo. Those who died there were buried, in individual and mass graves, in a separate plot next to the village graveyard, two kms southwest of the village. The number buried there is unknown.
In August 2002, members of Perm Youth Memorial, then taking part in the “Rivers of Memory” expedition, established a commemorative sign at the plot, a wooden post on which a crescent moon was cut.
The Memorial online database (2025) names 45,916 victims of political terror in the Perm Region.
7,617 were shot. Over 16,000 were held in the camps; and a thousand deported from the Region (see Perm cemetery). Police records list a further 10,244 deported to the Perm Region from other parts of the USSR (see Alexandrovsk), but do not mention those from Kirgizia.
The Memorial online database names two prisoners born in Kirgizia, and 14 residents (all German) deported from the Central Asian republic to the Chelyabinsk Region. It includes the Kirgizian Book of Remembrance which lists only years of arrest (3,602 in 1937-8 out of 8,264) and places of birth.
