The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown. The oldest tombstone’s date relates to the mid 18th century so it can be assumed that the cemetery emerged during that period. First it appears on Russian map in 1880s and, later, in 1939 on map of Wojskowy Instytut Geograficzny (WIG).

The exact period of the cemetery’s establishment is unknown, but according to the dates on the preserved tombstones it can be assumed that the cemetery emerged in the late 19th century. First it appears on Russian topographic maps in 1880s and, later, was also marked on Polish map of 1939. The fence was erected by ESJF in 2017.
The Cathedral of the Holy Intercession was completed in 2001 and is one of the highest temples in Ukraine. The cathedral was built in the Ukrainian style. This is underlined, among other things, by the golden Trident with a cross (emblem of Ukraine) on its pediment, the golden domes, the white and blue walls.
The exact period of the cemetery establishment is unknown. Presumably it was established in the end of the 19th century. According to epigraphic data, it already existed in 1880s. First it appears on Russian map of 1885. The cemetery was fenced by ESJF in May 2017.
