[[Nikolskoe Cemetery]] () is part of the [[Alexander Nevsky Lavra]] in the centre of [[Saint Petersburg]], and contains a large number of burials as well as monuments and memorials to notable figures in [[Russian Empire|Russian Imperial]] history, as well as those of [[Soviet era|Soviet]] and post-Soviet times.
The cemetery, opened in 1863, was the third cemetery in the monastery complex, after the original [[Lazarevskoe Cemetery (Saint Petersburg)|Lazarevskoe Cemetery]] in the 1710s, and the [[Tikhvin Cemetery]] in 1823.<ref name="Lavra"></ref> It became known as the Nikolskoe after the construction of the Church of St. Nicholas between 1868 and 1871 to the design of diocesan architect Grigory Karpov.<ref name="Lavra"/><ref name="NK"/> From its inception burial there was restricted to the elite of society, the monastery's Spiritual Council noting that "the Lavra cemetery is not open to everyone, as are the city cemeteries, but only a few persons from the government service and persons with honorary titles are buried here."<ref name="NK"/> Part of the cemetery also served as the burial site for the Monastery's monks and the [[Metropolitan bishop|metropolitans]] of St. Petersburg, leading to the name Bratskoe (), or "Brotherhood" section.<ref name="CW">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> Wealthy patrons commissioned large chapels and crypts, with elaborate decorations and reliefs from prominent artists such as , , and .<ref name="Lavra"/>
Despite this the cemetery was not considered to have any particular artistic or historical value during the Soviet period. It was closed in 1927 and sporadic efforts were made during the 1930s and 1940s to eliminate it, with the graves of several prominent figures were transferred to the Lazarevskoe, Tikhvin and [[Volkovo Cemetery|Volkovo cemeteries]]; including [[Vera Komissarzhevskaya]], [[Ivan Goncharov]], [[Anton Rubinstein]] and [[Boris Kustodiev]].<ref name="Lavra"/><ref name="NK">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> Other graves were lost or destroyed.<ref name="CW"/> The Church of St Nicholas was closed in 1932, and the cemetery fell into neglect.<ref name="TR"/>
The Nikolskoe Cemetery was restored and landscaped in the 1970s, with a [[columbarium]] built between 1979 and 1980.<ref name="CW"/> The cemetery church was repaired and reconsecrated on 22 April 1985.<ref name="Lavra"/><ref name="TR">Liquid error: wrong number of arguments (1 for 2)</ref> Burials resumed in the late 1970s, and since 1989 a comprehensive restoration of monuments has been underway.<ref name="Lavra"/><ref name="CW"/>
