These were mostly peasants or those who came to work. In addition to the urban poor, soldiers and sailors who died in the First World War were buried here. More than 100 thousand sieges were also buried here in 1941-45. There is a small memorial to the victims of the blockade and an eternal flame transferred from the Piskaryovsky cemetery. Today it is a military memorial cemetery.

The Church of Seraphim Sarovsky appeared here almost immediately, in 1906. There is an icon of Saint Seraphim with a particle of relics.
