The last refuge of the first Murmansk residents (on the question about the first city cemetery of Murmansk)

The first cemetery of Murmansk was built on the slope of a hill between the second and third terraces of the future city. It did not operate for long, only a few years, but during this time there were large-scale upheavals that transformed the country and more than once radically changed the fate of the newly established settlement in the Arctic Circle. The article, based on sources available to the author (mainly documents from the State Archive of the Murmansk Region), is the first attempt to present the history of the cemetery, talks about the outstanding ersonalities who found rest there, traces the most characteristic causes of mortality in Murmansk at that time, and presents the memories of old-timers.
