Lanklaar
The memorial is located at the cemetery in Lanklaar, Limburg province. Here lie the remains of 29 Soviet prisoners of war who died from hard labor in the nearby mines in the period from 1942 to 1944. Some names are repeated at a military burial in Genk.
The local commune established a memorial made of yellow brick and black granite slabs, on which there are commemorative inscriptions in Russian, French and Dutch “To Soviet citizens who died in Belgium in the fight against fascism in 1941–1945”, as well as the names of the fallen.

Dear visitors,
We would like to draw your attention to the fact that spelling of the names, surnames and places of birth of Soviet citizens buried in Belgium may be distorted due to the fact that they are quite often written only in Flemish and French in registration books and on monuments.
We thank the Brussels-Belgian Archdiocese of the Russian Orthodox Church, the organizations of Russian compatriots and Russian foreign institutions accredited in Belgium for providing photos and their efforts to preserve the memory of the heroism of the Soviet soldiers who fell in the Great Patriotic War.
The Embassy will be grateful for providing any information and photos of Soviet military graves of the Second World War in Belgium and the ceremonies held on them. Please send material to the email address of the Embassy amrusbel@skynet.be with the note «War Graves».
