All :
I'm looking for your help to obtain a grave photo of Gvradia Lt.Constantin Dimitrevitch Sorokin (pilot) killed on Sept 19, 1944 in Bucharest by Soviet MP's at night after the discussion got out of hand. He's buried at Herastrau cemetery, Pipera street and was a Kursk battle vet of his Sqd which were flying IL-2's. He was scheduled to be sent to Hungaria. While partying late at night in Bucharest and having excess of alchool on his blood he got caught on a weird a discussion with a MP patrol which ended up on his shutting. Thanks in advance PS: The header should read IL-2 and not IL-10 This post has been edited by yugit on October 06, 2011 04:05 pm |

The Cemetry is closed to public.
Once a year ther's a comemoration.Have no ideea when. You cannot get close since the hight ranking embassy stuff are there. Not many graves.A few dozens. I'm passing near that cenetry at least once a day in the last 15 years and the gate was opened only in 1or2 ocasions. |

C2 thanks for your advise, thats what I've imagined. First they killed him like a simple impostor, then they treat him like diplomatic stuff rather then bury him together with his budies , the many Soviet pilots still buried in Rumania during and post the war. Nevertheless maybe one day the status will change BR Al This post has been edited by yugit on October 06, 2011 06:34 pm |

Today I went like usual near the cemetry and I saw some people inside.
I got arownd and found two guards (from a private security firm). Due to heavy construction works arownd the cemetry the embassy must have hired them. I came very close to the graves and there are about 5 rows and very easy to take photos. The only problem is that they are written in Chirilic alfhabet.... What is strange,tahat many of the soldiers burried there (about 200 in total) are dead from 1945-1952!!! MAny in 46-49. |

C2
Great to hear from you again, many thanks for your attempts to get closer and hopefully at a later point in time you will have more luck. As into the service personnel killed post Rumanian capitulation and later on , as I mentioned on other forum part, there were quite a few casualties related to the Allied Forces personnel stationed in Rumania....either through incidents, disputes accidents, personal problems...highlighting the tension left from WWII. Thank you again Alex K |

I didn't hear about crimes made by romanians after 23 august against russians. Maybe partisans?!

seeker, I didn't indicate anywhere that Rumanian citizens comitted crimes against the Soviets, pse read the topic again. Generally speaking there are no rules along with wars and just for your info despite capitulation on Aug 23,44 there were small pockets of resistance left which were fully eliminated by mid through end of Sep.44...though they had nothing to do with your remarks , the details will not be related to this topic and you need to start an appropriate topic AL This post has been edited by yugit on November 08, 2011 01:28 pm |

There was many Soviet soldiers after ww2 in Romania and they died from common or violent causes. Anyway, as far as I know, they were burried in Soviet Union and in Romania are only the stones in a fake cemetery. Could some one confirm or not?

I saw the tombstones are not arranged chronologically, but who knows...
