NIKOLAEVSK CEMETERY
Nikolaevsk, Alaska

The Nikolaevsk Cemetery is located in Nikolaevsk, Kenai Peninsula Borough, Alaska. The
cemetery is reached by driving on Nikolaevsk Road through the village. Drive past the post office
and continue up the hill. The cemetery is on the right. It is fenced and has a signed gate. The
village maintains it.

Russian Orthodox Crosses mark most of the graves. Those buried here are Old Believers. All
the inscriptions are written in Russian. Father Nick Yakunin translated them and he provided the
additional information. The dates are old calendar dates taken from the Julian Calendar. They
are thirteen days later than the current calendar. On the slanted crosspiece the cause of death is
written. The cemetery was read on May 21, 2002.
