Kunzewoer cemetery
The Kunzewoer Friedhof ( Russian Ку́нцевское кла́дбище / Kunzewskoje kladbishche ) is a cemetery on the western outskirts of the Russian capital Moscow , which is named after the former city and today's Moscow district Kunzewo .
General
The cemetery is located in the Moshaiski district of the western administrative district of Moscow, is 16.62 hectares in size and houses numerous graves of prominent people.
It has an old and a new part that are not separated from each other. However, funerals are no longer carried out in the old part.
The old cemetery was built in the 17th century near the village of Spasskoye on the Setun River and was therefore initially called the Setun Cemetery ( Setunskoje kladbishche ). 1673–1676 the Church of the Redeemer on the Setun ( церковь Спаса на Сетуни / zerkow Spassa na Setuni) was built on the cemetery. In 1920 the cemetery area became part of the city of Kunzewo , which was incorporated into Moscow in 1960. Since the beginning of the 1920s, the cemetery has been called the Kunzewoer Friedhof.
In the cemetery there is a common grave of Red Army soldiers who died in Moscow hospitals during World War II . In 1975, on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of the end of the war, a memorial was erected over the communal grave .
