At the time of year I went, the gravesite is identifiable solely by the cemetery broschure. There is no sign marking the site and all but one of the stones was covered in snow. |
|
The flat, square stones were barely-visible, ghostly shadows in the frost. I counted about 16 stones. |

The gravestone of one Vassily Zenkino was under a tree, so it was still barely visible. But even here, the frost froze to the moss, rendering the other information illegible. |
