Novodevichy Cemetery

It lies next to the southern wall of the 16th-century Novodevichy Convent, which is the city's third most popular tourist site.

Only the Donskoy survived the Joseph Stalin era relatively intact. The remains of many famous Russians buried in other abbeys, such as Nikolai Gogol and Sergey Aksakov, were disinterred and reburied at the Novodevichy.
