About this place:
Founded in the late 1800s next to the 16th century Novodevichy Monastery, Moscow's Novodevichy Cemetery is regarded as the most famous cemetery in Russia. Not only does it house some of Russia's most famous dead (including Khruschev, Gogol, Bulgakov, Shostakovich and many others), but the graves are not mere tombstones, they're works of art. A must see for all visitors to Moscow!
