The Church Of The Former Plague Cemetery There is the Saint John the Baptist Church on the old cemetery of our town. In 1773 the plague struck a lot of Russian cities. The town cemetery was crowded, therefore a plague cemetery was established outside the town limits. A cemetery without a church is a bad thing, so the local citizens built a church there. Nowadays it is the center of the town. Divine services are held in the church, and interesting tombstones of past centuries preserved on that former plague cemetery.
