Umlando wamathuna eVolkov ubuyele emuva ku-1756. Khona-ke, ngokusikisela kukaMpress Elizabeth Petrovna, amathuna okuhlala emzini kusukela ngo-1710 eSontweni likaSt. John uMbhapathizi, eYamskaya Sloboda, ivaliwe. Esikhundleni salokho, amathuna eVolkov adalwe yisimiso se senethi.
I-necropolis entsha yayinegama layo ngokushesha. Njengoba i-legend ithi, ngakho-ke ekugcineni kwaqanjwa ngamagama abantu, ababesho ukuthi eziningi izimpisi zazizungezile kule ndawo. Abanye babalobi bezindaba babengenqikazi ukwakha izindaba mayelana nezidumbu ezidliwayo ukuthi izihlobo ezihahayo noma ezihluphekile zishiya zingakapheli. Futhi izimo ezinjalo, ngokusobala, ngekhulu le-18-19 kwakungavamile kakhulu.
Naphezu kokuthi amathuna eVolkov kusukela ekuqaleni kokuphila kwawo abhekwa njengabantu abampofu kakhulu, abantu abaningi banda endaweni yabo. Izindawo zokungcwaba zanikezwa cishe noma zingenalutho ngokuphelele. Kwakungekho nqubo yokungcwaba. Zombili izikhungo zikahulumeni nabantu ngabanye bavusa abafileyo lapho bekhathazeka ukumba ithuna ngaphandle kokutshela iziphathimandla zamangcwaba.
Futhi, naphezu kokunganakwa okusobala ekulawuleni ukusebenza kwe-necropolis, ukubaluleka okunamandla okuhambisana nokwakhiwa kwamasonto ensimini yayo. Amathuna eVolkovskoe kuwo wonke umlando wayo ayenamapulangwe amaningana, bese enza amasonto amatshe. Enye yeyokuqala, okuyinto, ngeshwa, engasinda kuze kube yilolu suku - iSonto Lokuvuswa. Isonto elilodwa lesibhakela lesibhakabhaka elinesisekelo setshe lafakwa ngo-1756 ngesikhathi esifanayo nokuvulwa kwe-necropolis. Amathuna aseVolkov akhula ngaphandle kokuphazamiseka okukhulu kwaze kwavela inguquko eRussia. Washintsha ngokuphawulekayo ukubukeka kwendawo enkulu yokungcwaba yaseSt. Petersburg. Eminyakeni yama-1920 no-1930, amasonto adilizwa futhi avaliwe kuwo, amathuna abhujiswa kanye nezikhumbuzo ezihlonishwayo ezidumile zabhujiswa, ngaleso sikhathi okwakungcwatshwe emathuneni. Okubizwa ngokuthi "Uhlelo Lweminyaka Engu-5 Lwe-Atheism", oluqala ngo-1932, lwabhubhisa i-All-Svyatsky ne- Assumption Church ye- Necropolis, futhi ngo-1935 ukwakha iBandla loMsindisi we-Holy Face kwaqanjwa njengendawo yokugcina impahla. Ngaphansi kweSoviet Union, amathuna alahlekile kakhulu ensimini yawo, izikhumbuzo eziningi kanye nama-tombstones alahlekile phakade.
Ngokusemthethweni, ayifuni lapha kusukela ngo-1933, futhi i-necropolis ngokwayo inesimo seminyuziyamu. Kodwa ngokungafani, emathuneni amadala kunawo wonke eSt. Petersburg, ngisho nanamuhla, abantu bangcwatshwa emzini noma emlandweni womuzi. Ngesinye isikhathi amathuna eVolkovsky (eSt. Petersburg) waba indawo yokuphumula yaseBelinsky, uDobrolyubov, uTurgenev, uSaltykov-Shchedrin, uMendeleev, uPavlov nabanye abamele abaningi be-intelligentsia, isayensi nemithi.
Ngendlela, eRussia kunamanye amathuna anegama elifanayo. Amathuna aseVolkovskoe (Mytishchi) atholakala ngamakhilomitha amathathu ukusuka enhloko-dolobha. Akuyona endala njengoSt. Petersburg. Ivuliwe ema-30s ekhulwini lokugcina, futhi isacatshangwa ukuthi iyasebenza.
