PETERBURGSKY NEKROPOL (The Petersburg Necropolis), an information guide, containing concise data on more than 40 thousand people, buried within St. Petersburg (and its vicinities') cemeteries from the 18th until the early 20 centuries. Peterburgsky Nekropol was compiled under V. I. Saitov's guidance and published in 1912-13 (volumes 1-4) with the funding of the Grand Prince Nikolay Mikhailovich. The first volume contained brief reference on all St. Petersburg cemeteries of the early 20th century, a list of 16 cemeteries closed in the 18-19th centuries, and a comprehensive bibliography. Peterburgsky Nekropol predominantly gives a record of nobles, selectively - the clergy and eminent names and ... representatives from the mercantile class possessing large commercial companies as well as of persons prominent through their achievements. Occasionally it provided complete versions of original poems and prosaic epitaphs.
