The Zaozerny camp outpost formed part of the Kedrovy Shor farm in Ukhtpechlag (subsequently Vorkutlag and Intalag). It was 3 kms northwest of Kedrovy Shor settlement. The burial ground is located in the forest half a kilometre from the surviving foundations of the camp buildings.
One grave in the burial ground has survived: it was cared for by a former prisoner who until the 1970s would each year make the journey back there. In 2000 the burial ground was studied by T.G. Afanasyeva of the Pechora museum of history and local studies.
Repentance: the Komi Republic Martyrology of the Victims of Mass Political Repression (11 vols. 1998-2016), includes biographical entries on 52,785 who were sent to the camps in Komi, of whom 10,364 died there.
Тhe Memorial online database (2025) includes four victims who were sent to Kedrovy Shor in 1930. And see The Gulag in Northwest Russia (1931-1960).
