In the 1930s one place where those who inhabitants of Tyumen and the Tyumen Region were shot or who died in prison was the city’s Tekutyevskoe cemetery. The exact numbers buried there is unknown. The burials are in various parts of the cemetery; in most cases they have been covered by later graves. The cemetery was closed in 1962.

In 1996 thanks to a proposal from the Tyumen city Society of the Victims of Political Repression and the city administration’s Commission for Restoring the Rights of Rehabilitated Victims of Political Repression the city paid for a memorial in the form of a brick wall with a marble plaque: “As a sign of remembrance and forgiveness of our unjustly slain forbears, shot in 1937-1938, from the heirs of Russia’s tragedy”. The monument was dismantled in 1998 and replaced by a granite boulder crowned by a cross. On the attached plaque is an inscription: “In memory of the victims of Stalinism, 1937-1938. Here lie quietly ordinary citizens, peaceful people who were not slain in war”.
