World War I cemeteries (part LXXVI): memorial to seven named soldiers of the Russian Imperial Army, Dvarets (Izha Village Council, Vjaljejka District).
It was the practice of the Russian Imperial Army to bury its Eastern Front World War I dead in individual graves marked with wooden crosses, which soon decayed. With the Bolshevik seizure of power and subsequent absorption of the eastern and then western Belarusian lands into the Soviet Union, the Soviet regime neglected Russian World War I cemeteries and allowed them to fade into oblivion. Only with the efforts of Belarusian local historians and volunteers, as here in Dvarets, have some Russian World War I cemeteries been restored; in some cases — as here — named gravestones have been set up.
