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.)
The Memorial database (2025) lists 27,316 victims in the Kirov Region (BR 25,624).
1,714 were shot, most during the Great Terror (1,373). Over 12,000 were held in the camps.
