Abstract
The present article is devoted to studying history and conservation problems of historical cemeteries in the city of Omsk, taking into account the constantly changing urban environment. In the last ten years archaeological research has uncovered seven new heritage sites, and the location of two other heritage sites has been precised. Four of these nine sites are cemeteries belonging to the 18th - 20th centuries. The present article summarizes our research, and in our conclusion we raise the question of the possibility of conserving such heritage sites. Even though the basic principles of conservation are aligned with the current methodology of field archaeological work, it is possible to encounter problems of ethical nature both from researchers and developers while working with historical necropolises. Despite the fact that the article is based on materials related to the city of Omsk, the problems outlined in it are relevant for any large modern city, since they all tend to grow and modernize. Keywords: western Siberia, Omsk, urban planning, change, historical necropolises, archaeological research, conservation
