Among the most famous cemeteries in the Russian capital are: Vagankovskoye, Novodevichye, and Troyekurovskoye cemeteries. The last known is the alley of the actors of the Troekurovsky cemetery. He is also considered a branch of Novodevichy. It is located in the West of Moscow near the former village of Troekurovo. As the number of deaths increases, places for their burial also need to be found. That is why such branches are created.

Troekurovskoye Cemetery Address

Troekurovskoe cemetery is one of the most prestigious in the capital, operating since 1962.
Initially, this place was intended for the burial of distinguished statesmen. Politicians, scientists, writers, and artists were buried there. The cemetery is famous for its alleys: the alley of actors and astronauts. The impressive size of the ritual hall and the funeral home-necropolis added to the prestige of the necropolis. A distinctive feature of the necropolis is its own morgue. Currently, the cemetery is a branch of Novodevichy, celebrities are also buried there, and family burial places are available for ordinary Muscovites. Natalya Gundareva, Semyon Farada, Boris Klyuev, Vladislav Galkin and many other famous personalities are buried here.

Monument to Vladislav Galkin

On the territory of the Troekurovsky cemetery there is the grave of Vladislav Galkin. The actor died at the age of 38 from acute heart failure. Just a year before his death, Vladislav Galkin was awarded the title of Honored Actor of Russia.

The grave of the famous actor is one of the most beautiful graves of the Troekurovsky necropolis. There are 2 monuments on the grave - one of them is in the form of a small boy sitting by a stone and leaning his back against it. This is Huckleberry Finn, Vladislav Galkin's first film role. Little Vlad was only 9 years old when he first appeared on television.

Next to the little boy is a full-length figure of an adult man. He is dressed in a formal suit and has a smile on his face. This is already an adult Vladislav Galkin in the prime of his life, shortly before his death.

The monument was made by order of the actor’s parents by sculptor Vladimir Usov. In 2021, the monument had to be removed in order to bury Vladislav Galkin’s mother, as she bequeathed to be buried next to her son.

What is there at the Troekurovsky cemetery?

Troekurovskoe cemetery got its name in honor of the neighboring village of Troekurovo; in the 17th century it was the estate of famous Russian boyars. The territory of the necropolis has been reduced and expanded several times, and currently covers an area of ​​about 40 hectares. The Troekurovo necropolis is one of the most prestigious in Moscow. The infrastructure is thought out to the smallest detail. Several ritual halls, a morgue, a canteen, a funeral products store, a granite workshop, a parking lot for 250 spaces, two checkpoints, a Wi-Fi zone.

The necropolis is divided into 13 sections with sectors. A special map-scheme with color zoning has been developed: columbarium (red), burial plots (green), roads (black).

New burials are carried out in exceptional cases: if the deceased has merit to the fatherland. Burial in a related grave is possible, but for this it is necessary to provide a certificate of relationship.

Troekurovskoye Cemetery is not just a place of sorrow, but the history of the state. People who made a great contribution to the development of science and technology, the space industry, medicine, culture, and art are buried here. The list of celebrities can be found in the administration.

Buying a plot

Regarding the cost and availability of plots in the cemetery, you should contact the cemetery administration directly, since nowadays there are a large number of scammers who, taking advantage of the stressful situation, defraud you of money under the guise of selling a plot.

And on the day of the funeral you will find out that you did not buy any plot and have no right to it. In order to prevent such an unpleasant situation from occurring, make sure that all documents are completed correctly.

Already at this time, the list of celebrities is quite wide and tourists are beginning to visit this place more and more often. Many believe that the number of famous people who will be buried here will grow over time, and thus this necropolis will not be inferior in popularity to either the Vagankovsky or Novodevichy cemeteries. Since the history of deceased contemporaries is written on this burial area.

The Lord is always with you!

Other cemeteries with celebrity graves

In addition to these graveyards, there are many famous cemeteries in the world that serve as unique museums, since many celebrities are buried there. Among them:

• La Recoleta, Argentina. Celebrities of this country are buried here. For example, Eva Peron;
• Arlington Cemetery, Washington. Last resting place for US Presidents and Revolutionary War soldiers;

• Pierre-Lachaise, Paris. It has more traffic than other Parisian churchyards. Edith Piaf, Oscar Wilde, Jim Morrison and other celebrities are buried here.

Thus, the burial places of celebrities are not just sacred places for people, but also often objects of tourist routes and lovers of walks through cemeteries. Not all the graves of famous people and stars look decent - some of them have become forgotten not only by the necropolitan society, but also by the relatives of the deceased.

Sadness and pride

Meanwhile, my interlocutor changed - he came to me with the words: “Drop it! Now no one is interested in bandits,” a man in camouflage approached. He introduced himself as a security guard at the Church of the Resurrection of the Word on Vagankovo. Viktor Sergeevich , former military man. Son in America. I'm here myself. I like the work. He is indifferent to criminal authorities, however, like most of the current visitors to the cemetery. It was under this monologue of his that we reached those places that are now truly revered.

For example, the grave and monument to the legendary football player and coach Konstantin Beskov were buried in flowers, and the bronze guys from the sculptural group were touchingly decorated with “roses” - football scarves.

“They are coming, a lot of them are now coming to the athletes,” Viktor Sergeevich straightened the “rose” that had slipped on the sculpture. – They go to Igor Netto , to Eduard Streltsov . Of course, the World Cup is still in our memory, and these are the legends and pride of our football. Although it’s not just about the championship. A similar story happened here a year ago. So we’re sitting, and suddenly there’s a ton of people, all non-Russians, a sea of ​​flowers, and just like that, march-march for the columbarium. Well, I think we need to take a closer look, you never know. And they, as if they knew in advance, immediately went to Lev Yashin . They put flowers, kneel down and kiss the fence. It turned out they were Colombians. Marcos Col died in Colombia . The same one who scored the only goal from a corner at the World Cup. It happened in 1962. And he scored just against Lev Ivanovich Yashin. And now, it means, they have come to honor the memory of his opponent and colleague, the great Russian goalkeeper, on behalf of their legendary football player... Believe it or not, it brings me to tears!”

I willingly believed this. And, to be honest, I felt proud. Perhaps this is precisely why you should go to cemeteries. What about authorities and golden coffins? What about the living dead and other absurdities? Yes, nothing. And for sadness or pride to give you goosebumps is priceless. Moreover, according to security guard Viktor Sergeevich, very soon the famous “fainting people” will be fully and completely retired - official tour bureaus are going to be opened in cemeteries.
