The graveyard of Sudnozero is one of the most impressive in Viena Karelia. Unfortunately, much of it was damaged or destroyed in the 1950s and 1960s when factory workers from nearby Kem, sent to the village to cut hay, stole icons and tore down crosses and wooden shelters on the graves for firewood. The village was vacant at the time, but hay was cut there for the cattle on the collective farm in Voknavolok.
