Mogilev. Catholic Polish Cemetery.

Vilenskaya Street was the central street during the time of the Grand Duchy of Lithuania. And at the end of the 18th century, a Catholic Polish cemetery was founded behind the city fortifications behind the Vilnius Gate. Several family chapels have survived to our time, including the chapel of the Senozhatskyi in the neoclassical style and the Zhukovskii chapel in the neo-Egyptian style. On the main alley at the entrance, on the left side, there is the necropolis of the Tsekhanovetski magnates, including the burial of Uladzimir Tsekhanovetski, the marshal of the nobility of the Mogilev province. The monument to U. Tsekhanovetskyi was made in a workshop in Warsaw. The cemetery of the Zhukovskys is located behind the Tsekhanovets. The Zhukovsky chapel is decorated with sculptures of angels and symbols of ancient Egypt. On the right side of the main avenue, the Hero of the Soviet Union, an Afghan soldier, Andrei Melnikov (1979-1989) is buried. By right, it is a Neo-Gothic chapel, which now belongs to the Uniates, and services are held here on weekends. The Uniat church is named after the icon of the Mother of God of Bialynitsa. At the end of the central alley is the chapel of Senozhatki. Celebrations take place here every summer on the feast of St. Anthony. To the right of the chapel at the entrance, priest Y. Svyatopolk-Mirsky, who was killed by the Bolsheviks in 1918, is buried. Behind the chapel, on the left, along the alley, the poet Vasil Mateushov is buried, and on the left, the first rector of the Belarusian State Economic University, Aleksei Gurlo. When entering the cemetery on the right, there is a path that leads to the grave of the poet Aleksey Pysin. Among the well-known representatives buried at the Polish cemetery are: Valery Kamionka, a Catholic priest; Vladislav Milyanovsky – engineer-architect; Nikolay Yastrzhemsky – engineer and scientist; soldier Daniel Maura; representatives of the Khlusovich noble family and the Savitsky nobility; Mikhail Rabchevski – Hero of the Soviet Union.
