Yurshor
Yurshor was a northern outpost of Vorgashor, a mining town in Russia, and part of the Vorkuta Ring of settlements. By 2018 the town had been abandoned.
It is suggested that the village's name originates from the abbreviation of the name of the river, a tributary of the Vorkuta river. The full name of the river, "Izyurvozhshor", can be translated from the Komi language as "stream-tributary at the stone-head."
There is a monument to the Lithuanian victims of the shooting during the Vorkuta uprising at Mine 29 "Yurshor". The monument is the bronze mourning figure surrounded by iron pillars with tops joined by arcs. The composition stands on huge granite slabs. The sculpture of the mourning figure was designed by sculptor and the monument design is by architects, Vitaliy Troshin and Vasoly Barmin. The pedestal bears the inscriptions, in the front: in Lithuanian «Tėvynė Lietuva didžiuojasi», same in Latin: «Patria Lituania superbit», in the back: «Tėvynė Lietuva verkia» and «Patria Lituania flet» . A memorial plaque is attached at the supporting granite slab.
