The initial "temporary" stage of burial, showing rows of fresh earthen mounds topped with simple wooden Orthodox crosses and small identification plaques. Despite the lack of permanent monuments, the graves are densely decorated with vibrant artificial flowers and a profusion of flags--including the Russian tricolor, a Soviet hammer-and-sickle banner, and the flag of Uzbekistan--highlighting the diverse origins and ideological affiliations of the recently deceased. The raw, uneven ground and the sheer number of identical crosses extending into the background visually confirm the high volume of recent casualties processed at the site.

"Section 69 A" marker within the "temporary" burial sector, where fresh earthen mounds stretch toward a forested perimeter, contrasting the ordered numbering system with the raw immediacy of mass death. A solitary mourner in a green coat stands quietly by a cross, tending to flowers amidst a sea of Russian tricolors and unit flags, including the blue and yellow banner of the Aerospace Forces, adding a human scale to the vast, impersonal landscape of casualties. The scene highlights the rapid expansion of the cemetery, with the dense rows of wooden crosses indicating the continuous flow of new burials.

The dense visual cacophony of the cemetery s "temporary" section, where rows of wooden crosses are submerged in a sea of Russian tricolors and military intelligence (GRU/Spetsnaz) flags bearing the bat insignia. In the foreground, the grave of Kirill Arkadyevich Sharkov (1975-2025), a 49-year-old casualty, is marked by a simple cross and a photo of him in uniform, surrounded by wreaths in patriotic red, white, and blue colors. The scene conveys the sheer volume of recent losses, with flags fluttering chaotically over uneven mounds of earth, while a tractor in the far left background hints at the ongoing expansion of the burial grounds.
