This is a Russian-language research synthesis by independent researcher Roman Firsov: a documented record of Soviet servicemen who died on UK soil during World War II and the cemeteries where they are buried. Sources include the Russian Central Archive (TsAMO), the OBD «Memorial» database, and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.
The full text is in Russian. The original .docx is available for download on this page. Eighteen named soldiers are recorded across ten cemeteries (Aldershot, Leeds Harehills, Tidworth, Hartlepool, Liverpool Kirkdale, Liverpool Anfield, Shaftesbury, Chester Blacon, Huddersfield Edgerton, Harrogate Stonefall), plus the Great Ouseburn aviation memorial commemorating Hero of the Soviet Union Major Sergei Asyamov and three other officers killed in the 1942 Flamingo air crash.
