Detail InformationEdit
Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois Cemetery, specifically the one known as Cimetiere de Liers, as there are two cemeteries in the city, is a Russian Orthodox cemetery, located on Rue Leo Lagrange in Sainte-Genevieve-des-Bois, departement Essonne, France.
This local cemetery became Russian Orthodox in 1926 after a group of White Emigres had settled in the Chateau de la Cossonnerie, originally an 18th-century farm, which had been enlarged at the beginning of the 19th century. It was bought in 1927 by an English benefactress, Dorothy Paget, who set up a retirement home for Russian emigres there. In 1938-1939 Albert Benois designed the Dormition Church which serves the cemetery.
The cemetery is a burial place for more than 10,000 Russian emigrants, including the Nobel Prize winner Ivan Bunin, the authors Dmitry Merezhkovsky, Zinaida Gippius, Aleksey Remizov, Gaito Gazdanov, Viktor Nekrasov, the painters Konstantin Somov and Zinaida Serebriakova, the dancers Rudolf Nureyev and Serge Lifar, the philosophers Sergei Bulgakov and Nikolai Lossky, the filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, the film actor Ivan Mozzhukhin, the photographer Sergey Prokudin-Gorsky, the singer Alexander Galich, the politicians Peter Struve and Georgy Lvov, the general Zinovy Peshkov, the courtier Felix Yusupov and his wife Princess Irina of Russia.
