Preobrazhenskoye Cemetery (Saint Petersburg)

Funerary monuments in the Jewish cemetery in Saint Petersburg

The Preobrazhenskoe Cemetery ( Russian: Преображенское еврейское кладбище ) is a Jewish cemetery in Saint Petersburg , the second largest city in Russia . It opened in 1875 after the Jewish community contacted the city administration because the older Wolkowski cemetery had become too small. There are around 80,000 grave sites in the Preobrazhenskoye cemetery . Vera Slutzkaya, Moksha Frisno, Rabbi Katzenellenbogen and Wladimir Admoni, for example, are buried here.

People resting in the cemetery can be researched on a website in Russian and English using names and dates of life.
