The population of megacities is quite large. Along with the birth, a funeral is also held. Large cities are known for their large number of cemeteries. Some of them are closed due to overcrowding. Others are functioning. But there are some where getting a place is not so easy. It is granted only to those who have distinguished themselves in the public affairs of the state. These cemeteries also include the Nikolo-Arkhangelskoye Cemetery. It is included in the list of the most famous burial places in Moscow.
Scheme of plots
The churchyard is divided into eastern and central parts. The number of plots is 172. You need to know one nuance: some of the grave numbers are missing, while others are duplicated. Therefore, when you first come to the cemetery, it will be difficult to navigate on your own.
Helpful advice: in order not to waste time, you should seek help from the necropolis workers.
The plot diagram is presented at the stand; it is simple and understandable to everyone. The only thing you need to know is the plot number.
Inna Makarova (1926 - 2020)
- She was buried at the Troekurovsky cemetery.
- Role: Nastasya, a maid at Rodion’s apartment.
The performer of the role of Lyubov Shevtsova in Sergei Gerasimov’s “The Young Guard” spent the last two years of her life at a dacha near Moscow with her famous daughter, actress and director Natalya Bondarchuk . Inna Makarova was tormented by asthma attacks and memory loss.
— Mom constantly asked: “Where is the folder?” That’s what she called my dad Sergei Bondarchuk ,” said Natalya. “Being between two worlds, she saw both her grandmother and Sergei Fedorovich. He replaced her father - her mother was orphaned early. I remembered him more than my second husband, surgeon Misha Perelman .

Shortly before her death, Inna Vladimirovna was admitted to the hospital. Due to the coronavirus, visits are prohibited. Natalya Bondarchuk learned about the death of her mother on the way to the recording of Andrei Malakhov’s dedicated to quarantine.
“We were waiting for my mother to leave, because she was already suffering in her body,” admitted Bondarchuk. - I believe that we are immortal, and the body is our shell. At the 94th year of life, the shell was thin.
Makarova’s apartment near the Kievsky railway station, as well as a large house in Razdory near Moscow, were inherited by her daughter.
The grave of the miracle worker Sampson
The righteous man who lived in the 20th century, a monk named Simeon, who took the schema with the name Sampson, was not canonized, but information about the miracles of healing and the prayers he performed is still kept by pilgrims who constantly come to the monk’s grave.
Having survived persecution and arrests and retained his faith, the schema-monk Sampson, despite his outward severity, always prayed for people, having the gift of prophecy. Contemporaries collect all the miracles revealed at the elder’s grave. Cemetery workers claim that people suffering from possession cannot approach the grave. Once seven men could not let down a weak old man, he screamed, twitched, but was never able to cross the invisible barrier.
Through the prayer of neighbors for those who are mad and addicted to alcohol, drugs and computer games, liberation comes.
One day, a team of gravediggers turned on music without responding to the requests of people praying at the grave. Suddenly, behind the distant monuments, a figure in black appeared and began to quickly approach the workers. Out of fear, they abandoned their equipment and ran away, handing in their resignation the next morning, although this place of work was quite “grain-producing.”
Father wandered around apartments and dachas, did not have a residence permit in Moscow for a long time, and experienced all the horrors of those who do not have their own place of residence. Therefore, it is with housing problems that they go to the elder’s grave; he helps many.

headache; depression; sciatica; infertility; oncology and others.
Irina Pototskaya
Irina Aleksandrovna Pototskaya is a famous Soviet theater and film actress. After graduating from the conservatory with a degree in piano, Pototskaya entered the school at the Moscow Art Theater, but did not have time to graduate due to the liquidation of the educational institution for political reasons. Nevertheless, Pototskaya and her fellow students were accepted into Moscow theaters. As a result, Pototskaya worked for about forty years at the N.V. Gogol Theater, where her most famous works are considered to be her roles in the plays “Shelmenko the Batman” and “The Last Victim.” Pototskaya also worked on the radio, including taking part in dubbing radio plays, and collaborated with Soyuzmultfilm, voicing cartoon characters. Pototskaya lived for 93 years and died on April 7, 2009. She rested in a grave without a fence, surrounded by a granite flower bed, thanks to which for most of the year the modest stele is surrounded by greenery on almost all sides. The stele is a classic black granite rectangle with a rounded top side. On the front side of the stele there is an engraving with the name and dates of Pototskaya’s life.
