Russian Cemetery

The Russian Cemetery (Rosikó Nekrotafeío) serves as a haunting memorial to the approximately 380 Russian prisoners of war who died on Lemnos during WWI from infectious diseases, harsh conditions, and starvation. These soldiers were stationed in Moudros and Portianos, where they faced brutal living conditions that claimed hundreds of lives. The cemetery stands as a somber reminder of this forgotten chapter of wartime history, offering you a glimpse into the tragic fate of these displaced soldiers far from their homeland.
