History of the Vagankovskoe cemetery

The Vagankovsky necropolis arose at the end of the 18th century in New Vaganki, located west of the Presnenskaya outpost.

Old Vagankovo ​​was formed around the estate of the wife of Tsar Vasily the First, Sofia Vitovtovna. Over time, a “royal amusement court” arose in this area (“to play around”, according to Dahl - to joke, amuse, indulge, play).

The revelry in this area of ​​Moscow reached such proportions that in 1627, by order of Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich, Muscovites were strictly forbidden to go there, and for violating this rule they were ordered to be beaten with a whip. The measures turned out to be insufficient and at the end of the 17th century the residents were moved, as mentioned above, to the Trekhgorka area. This is how New Vaganki arose.

Let's continue the history of the Vagankovsky cemetery.

The year of foundation is considered to be 1771, although the burials on the site of the current necropolis date back to an earlier time. There is an opinion that at this place there was the grave of Tsarevich Dmitry, who was the brother of Tsar Vasily Shuisky, who ruled Rus' from 1606 to 1610.

The first burials in 1771 are associated with the burial of people who died from the plague that broke out in Moscow in those years. The cemetery was founded by order of Count Grigory Orlov, who was sent to Moscow by Catherine II with special powers to prevent the consequences of the plague epidemic.

Anti-plague operations began on September 26, 1771, immediately after Orlov’s arrival in the capital. With him, 4 regiments of the Life Guards arrived in Moscow, as well as a large number of doctors.

Due to the large number of deaths, there was not enough space in the old cemeteries. To solve this issue, new churchyards were opened, incl. and Vagankovskoe cemetery.

Thanks to the measures taken, the spread of the plague was prevented, and in honor of Count Grigory Orlov, a medal was issued with his bas-relief and the inscriptions: “Russia has such sons in itself” and “For ridding Moscow of the Plague in 1771.”

In subsequent years, the Vagankovskoye cemetery became the resting place of peasants and people of the bourgeois class, retired military officers, minor officials, as well as bodies of unknown persons picked up on the streets from Moscow slums.

Changes in the status of the Vagankovsky churchyard began in 1824, when, under the leadership of architect A.G. Grigoriev. The Church of the Resurrection of the Word was built on the site of the old church.

Soon the first graves of famous people appeared here: Count Tolstoy F.I., Decembrist Frolov A.F., composer Verstovsky A.N., Bobrishchev-Pushkin P.S.

Due to the expansion of Moscow, many cemeteries were either closed to burials or moved to new outskirts of the city. Vagankovskoye escaped this fate, and with it Novodevichye and Donskoy. They became historical monuments, on which not only famous people rest, but also tombstones, the authors of which were outstanding artists, sculptors and architects.

In addition to individual burials, the Vagankovskoye cemetery also contains collective burials: a mass grave of soldiers who died in the Battle of Borodino in 1812; the grave of people who became victims on Khodynka while receiving gifts on the occasion of the coronation of Nicholas II; mass grave of people who defended Moscow in 1941-1942; a memorial dedicated to the victims of Stalin's repressions; a monument to the child actors of the notorious musical “Nord-Ost” who died in the terrorist attack.

Over the 235-year history of the churchyard, more than half a million citizens were buried here. Currently, there are more than 100,000 graves in the necropolis.
