Novodevichy Cemetery

The most famous Russian Cemetery, the final resting place for many aristocrats, military, political dignitaries, composers, authors and leading cultural figures. The soviet authorities made the decision on who would be allowed to be buried at this cemetery, originally built 1524. (presently 2700 graves). Take a look at some of the tombs, they're quite impressive.
