Troyekurovskoye Cemetery

The Troyekurovo Cemetery (Троекуровское кладбище), alternatively known as Novo-Kuntsevo Cemetery (Ново-Кунцевское кладбище), is a cemetery in Moscow, Russia.

The cemetery is located in the former village of Troyekurovo on the western edge of Moscow, which derives its name from the Troyekurov princely family, a branch of the Rurikid House of Yaroslavl, that owned the village in the 17th century. Troyekurovo Cemetery includes the Church of Saint Nicholas, built by Prince Troyekurov in 1699–1704, which was closed during the Soviet era but reopened in 1991.

Troyekurovo Cemetery is administered as a branch of the Novodevichy Cemetery and is the resting place of numerous notable Russian and Soviet figures.
