    Tombstone on the grave of Mikhail Krug on Dmitrovo-Cherkassy cemetery in Tver, Russia

    Genealogical research in Russia can greatly benefit from death records and tombstones. Russian death records typically contain vital information such as the deceased's name, date of death, age at death, cause of death, and place of burial. Russian tombstones may provide additional details like birth dates, family members' names, and sometimes the deceased's occupation or achievements. Unique to Russian death records is the use of patronymics (father's name) alongside given and family names, which can aid in identifying family connections. Additionally, death records from the Soviet era may include information about victims of political repression, providing important historical insights. Family researchers can find Russian death records in online databases, government archives, and church records, depending on the relevant time period and region.
