The Kuntsevo Cemetery (Russian: Ку́нцевское кла́дбище, romanized: kúntsevkoye kládbishche) is a cemetery servicing Kuntsevo, Moscow. It is located on the bank of the Setun River, to the south of the Mozhaisk Highway (the continuation of the Kutuzovsky Prospekt).[1] The local five-domed church was commissioned in 1673 by Artamon Matveyev.
