Tjøtta soviet war cemetery and Tjøtta international war cemetery were established by the Norwegian government and are managed by the War Graves Service. Tjøtta war cemetery is located in Alstahaug municipality in Nordland. Approx. 8 000 soviets are buried in the Tjøtta soviet war cemetery, of which 825 are currently known and marked with a name. In the years 2009-2011 the Falstadsenter carried out the project Names wanted for war graves, on behalf of FAD (the Ministry of Renewal, Administration and Church Affairs), and names were found for approx. 5 000 of those buried. We would now like to set up memorial plaques with the name and date of those who we know are buried.
The contract consists of setting up new bronze plaques with names, as well as general renovation of the historical cemetery with walls, steps, signs, driving area and green areas. The description also includes the production of the name plaques, information signs and slate furniture.
