Levashovo Memorial Cemetery
Levashovo Memorial Cemetery is a cemetery of victims of Soviet repressions during the Great Purge, at Levashovo, Saint Petersburg. Since the NKVD mass graves were opened to the public in 1989, more than 22 memorials have been erected, most notably the Moloch of Totalitarianism statue by sculptors Nina Galitskaia and Vitali Gambarov. In 2007, a memorial to Italians who died in the Soviet Gulag was added to the site.
In Russian, the area is referred to as the Levashovskaya Pustosh'.
On the Day of Remembrance of the Victims of Political Repressions, ceremonies are organized at the site by the City of St. Petersburg.
