Vvedenskoe Cemetery
Vvedenskoe cemetery – one of the oldest in Moscow. It was founded in 1771 during a plague epidemic and is primarily intended for the disposal of the Lutherans and Catholics. Like the Parisian necropolis Père Lachaise cemetery Vvedenskoe adorns many ancient sculptures and architecture of chapels and contemplating the graves you forget that you are in Russia. Here are buried more than 770 scientists, about 300 artists, composers and conductors, 95 writers, 80 artists, sculptors and architects, nearly 200 distinguished doctors, teachers, builders, respected artists, masters of sports, many of the clergy, 54 Hero of the Soviet Union 27 Heroes of Socialist Labor, 90 revolutionaries and Bolsheviks. There is also a mass grave of German soldiers who died in Russian hospitals during the First World War.
