On September 4, on the banks of the Bureya River in the village of Novobureysky, the opening of two new steles with the names of residents of the Bureya district who suffered during the years of repression took place. The steles are installed next to the monument to repressed fellow countrymen.

Representatives of the Bureysky District administration, deputies of the first convocation, the public and residents of the village took part in the memorable event.

After the opening, the rector of the Church of Blessed Xenia of St. Petersburg, Archpriest Andrei Baikov, consecrated the new steles and offered prayers for the repose of those who suffered during the years of repression.
