Sestroretsk Jewish Cemetery

The Sestroretsk Jewish Cemetery is known for its unique style of carving on a number of old tombstones, which is uncharacteristic of later urban burials. In the 1970s, after the removal of security, pogroms took place there: monuments with Hebrew inscriptions were smashed and a cast-iron fence was stolen. The territory contains the Guterman family vault, near which the burials of the Lafer family were discovered, as well as a memorial to the famous Klyachko family. Since 2017, a group of enthusiasts has been carrying out restoration work at the cemetery, clearing the area and attracting the attention of the community and state authorities.
