NECROPOLIS OF ARTISTS (in 1823-76, the New Lazarevskoe Cemetary; in 1876-1937, the Tikhvinskoe Cemetery). Memorial Necropolis Park included in 1937 in the City Sculpture Museum. Its square takes up 1.2 hectares. The cemetery was created in 1823 and named after the neighbouring Lazarevsky Cemetery (see Necropolis of the 18th Century); it was then renamed after the Church of Our Lady of Tikhvin (1869-73, architect N.P. Grebenka; completely rebuilt in the 1930s, today an exhibition hall for the City Sculpture Museum). It is one of the necropoleis of the Alexander Nevsky Lavra. Among those buried at the cemetery are ministers P.A. Valuev, I.N. Durnovo and D.S. Sipyagin; admirals F.V. Dubasov and P.I. Ricord; engineer M.N. Gersevanov; military historian A.I. Mikhailovsky-Danilevsky; Patermuphy the Hesychast; schema- monk Alexy (Shestakov); and Imperial Confessor V.B. Bazhanov (their gravestones were destroyed in the 1920-30s). Priest Petr Skipetrov was buried at the church altar. A beneficiary of Our Lady’s Church of Joy for All Who Sorrow at Schlisselburgsky Avenue, he was killed by a Red Army soldier in the lavra yard on 20 January 1918 (a cross was restored in 1997). According to the memorial necropolis plan (1935-37, architect E.N. Sandler and E.K. Reimers), graves of writers are concentrated in the East part, artists in the centre, painters in the West part, and musicians at the North Composers Path. The Necropolis of Artists is a pantheon of Russian culture from the 19th to 20th centuries. The ashes of many figures of culture and art were transported to the Necropolis of Artists from other cemeteries in the 1930s. There were 174 monuments at the necropolis in 2002. Among those buried there are statesmen M.M. Speransky and A.N. Olenin; historian N.M. Karamzin; writers and poets V.A. Zhukovsky, I.A. Krylov, E.A. Baratynsky, and F.M. Dostoevsky; composers M.I. Glinka, A.S. Dargomyzhsky, N.A. Rimsky-Korsakov, A.P. Borodin, M.P. Mussorgsky, and P.I. Tchaikovsky; artists and sculptors A.A. Ivanov, P.A. Fedotov, N.I. Kramskoy, I.I. Shishkin, A.I. Kuindzhi, B.M. Kustodiev, P.I. Klodt, and I.P. Vitali; critic V.V. Stasov; and actors V.A. Karatygin, V.N. Davydov, P.A. Strepetova, V.F. Komissarzhevskaya, Y.M. Yuryev, and N.K. Cherkasov. Stage director G.A. Tovstonogov was the last to be buried at the Necropolis of Artists in 1989 (gravestone by sculptor L.K. Lazarev in 1992). Among the gravestones there are sculptural samples of many styles, including the so-called Russian style, Art Nouveau, and Neo-Classicism, featuring works by I.P. Ropet, I.S. Bogomolov, I.Y. Ginzburg, A.V. Shchusev, N.K. Roerich, N.E. Lansere, among others.
