Zasulich, along with many other participants of revolutionary activity at the late 19th - early 20th centuries, are buried at Literatorskie Mostki. The Ulyanov family burial site is situated within the museum area of the necropolis (V.I. Lenin's mother, Maria Alexandrovna, his sisters Anna and Olga, as well as their son-in-law M.T. Elizarov, are all buried there). In 1930s, the remains of a number of literary, academic, and scientific figures were transferred to Literatorskie Mostki from an abolished section of the Volkovskoe Cemetery, including I.S. Turgenev and M.E. Saltykov-Shchedrin. Outstanding cultural, and academic, and scientific figures are still buried at Literatorskie Mostki. The cemetery's Holy Resurrection Church (1785, architect I.E. Starov) has been used as an exhibition hall since 1952.
