In the middle part of the cemetery Bad Bleiberg, on the northern cemetery wall, there is a memorial plaque for a young man and a young woman who are listed as "accident victims" in 1943 and 1944. The plaque does not mention that the two individuals were Soviet forced laborers who worked in the mine Bad Bleiberg and died there. The names are also inscribed on a large memorial in the entrance area of the cemetery, which commemorates all persons who lost their lives in the mine between 1900 and 2000. However, here too, it is not stated that Boris Subaschew and Nastja Staruscha were not civilian employees in the mining industry, but rather forced laborers.
