About this cemetery
The cemetery was organized in the late 1920s or early 1930s on land that had belonged to the Iveron-Seraphim women's monastery. Researchers confirm its founding in 1932, and the official opening is documented in a protocol of the Alma-Ata city council presidium dated 10 April 1932. From the 1950s it became one of the main necropolises of the Kazakh SSR.
