In 1929-1931, camp outpost No 2 of the Pinyug division of the Northern Camp Directorate (USEVLON) was located near the Pinyug rail station. Its inmates were building the branch line between Pinyug and Ust-Sysolsk (today Syktyvkar). The camp burial ground was located in the woods. The exact number buried there is unknown.
In 1989-1990, the burial ground and the territory of the camp outpost was studied by expeditions from the Podosinovsky district museum.
(The key to the 1990 map shows, from top to bottom: [1] numbered camp outposts, 3-9; [2] burial grounds; [3] narrow-gauge railway; and [4] railway embankment with tunnels.)
Information about the deaths of Gulag inmates, where it survives, can be found in Memorial’s Victims of Political Terror database with its 3 million entries, or in the Open List database (“Victims of Political Repression in the USSR, 1917-1991”).
