History
The history of the cemetery began in 1932, when on the banks of the Dzhamgarovsky pond they began to bury the dead residents from the nearby villages - Taininsky and Perlovsky. After some time, a small area for Jewish burials was immediately allocated.
When old cemeteries were demolished in the city center in Soviet times, the Moscow authorities gave permission to transfer Jewish burials to the churchyard. Over the years, the cemetery has grown and turned completely into a Jewish one, for which three of the eight existing sites are now allocated.
A large number of tombstones and slabs with six-pointed stars and inscriptions in Hebrew have been preserved in the cemetery. Some of the monuments are real works of art, and, most likely, they were transported from the ancient Moscow cemeteries.
But gradually Orthodox crosses began to appear on the churchyard. At the mainAt the entrance, visitors are greeted by the richest and most luxurious burials, entire stone pavilions with large statues and bizarre decor.
In 1978, the Perlovsky churchyard became one of the cemeteries of the city of Moscow.
