Private Russian Cemetery next to Panteon Municipal No. 2

This private cemetery was donated by Vasili Kondratovich Popoff, an immigrant from Russia who acquired land east of town. He had over 1000 acres. When the city of Ensenada expanded, nearly all of his land was taken by government. When a large city cemetery was planned for some of his confiscated land, he insisted that a section be given back to his people (Pryguny) as a private cemetery. This cemetery was very costly for the Popoff family, who are buried here with other families from Russia named Chapluk, Pabloff, Rudometkin, Novikoff, Samarin, Bibayoff and Kotoff.

Note: Many of the names on these tombstones are done in the Mexican naming practices where the actual Surname is before the mother's maiden name which will appear at the end. There are approximately 5 unknown graves with wooden markers that no longer have writing on them
