When it comes to Bogorodsk cemetery,Often there are all sorts of misunderstandings. They are explained by the simple fact that there are two cemeteries with this name. There is everyone known in the east of Moscow. And besides, since the nineties of the last century, there is also a Bogorodskoye cemetery in the Noginsk district of the Moscow region. And they should not be confused, it is not the same thing. They have the same name only.
On the left bank of the Yauza
One of the oldest in Moscow, Bogorodskoye cemeterylocated in the Eastern Administrative District of the capital. It was founded in the middle of the eighteenth century near the village of Bogorodsky, which entered the line of Moscow only in 1902. Today it is a small urban-type cemetery, the only architectural landmark of which is a stone chapel, built over the grave of the archpriest of the Church of the Transfiguration of the Savior. The landscaping leaves much to be desired, only the central alleys are in good condition. Apparently, the city budget does not have sufficient funds to put in order the Bogorodskoye cemetery. Monuments and crosses long ago twisted or collapsed completely. The desolation is obvious, and often the question arises about the future fate of this historical memorial object. But no decisions on this matter have been made in administrative circles yet. Bogorodskoye cemetery no longer belongs to the category of existing. Nevertheless, related burials are sometimes made here.
In Noginsk area
And since 1992, forty kilometers eastMoscow, a new Bogorodskoye Cemetery. In this way, the Moscow region began to have a toponym, completely coinciding with the name of the municipal facility in the capital. Usually such coincidences are tried to avoid when forming new territories. But Moscow and the Moscow region are different subjects of the Federation. New Bogorodskoye Cemetery is located two kilometers east of the village Timokhovo. The Church of St. Nicholas the Wonderworker has been erected at the cemetery, and certain works are being carried out on landscaping and gardening. Burials are made quite actively. And it can be said with confidence that, in view of the exhaustion of free space at cemeteries near Moscow, this process will go on increasing. Among the remarkable graves in the new Bogorodskoye cemetery, the grave of unidentified soldiers who perished in the First Chechen War should be noted.
