Mogilochki
This cemetery is located midway between the villages of Goreloye, Orlovka and Spasskoye in the Ninotsminda district of Samtskhe-Javakheti region, Georgia. The name is an affectionate form of the Russian term mogili, meaning “graves”. The Mogilochki (Могилочки) contains the graves of 19th century Doukhobor leaders Ilarion Kalmykov (1816-1841), Petr Kalmykov (1836-1864), Lukeria Kalmykova (1841-1886) and their families. For this reason it is also known as Svyatye Mogilochki (Святые Могилочки) meaning “holy graves”. Local Doukhobors gather at this sacred site to celebrate festivals and hold prayer meetings.
