The cemetery of prisoners and forced labourer of the 7th division of Tagillag was located near Mount Goly Kamen, today the urban sub-district Goly Kamen. In 1941-1943 those who died were buried in common graves; later they had individual graves. The numbers of prisoners and forced labourers buried in the Visimskoe cemetery has not been established.
In the early 1950s inhabitants of Nizhny Tagil were buried in neighbouring sections of the cemetery. Later the section of camp burials was covered with a layer of waste to a depth of five metres. Today the camp burials are outside the borders of the functioning graveyard.
The Memorial online database (2025) names 38,697 victims in the Sverdlovsk Region (BR 36,494). See Yekaterinburg memorial.
Drawing on “Their Names Restored: Nizhny Tagil” and other sources, the database lists 508 individuals who were mobilised in the 1940s to work in Tagillag. Over two hundred were born in the Volga German republic; 11 deaths are recorded.
