Memorial or cemetery
Miikse graveyard
Miikse cemetery in Setomaa is young by local standards: it began to take shape in 1944 beside the common grave of Red Army soldiers killed in the fighting that year. After the war, when the Luhamaa Orthodox congregation's chapel church fell into ruin, a new church of St John the Baptist was built here in the cemetery, with permission from the Soviet commissioner for Russian Orthodox affairs. The graveyard belongs to the Meeksi Estonian Apostolic Orthodox congregation.

Eesti keeles
Setomaal asuv Miikse kalmistu on kohalike mõõtude järgi noor: see hakkas kujunema 1944. aastal samal aastal lahingutes hukkunud punaarmeelaste ühishaua kõrval. Pärast sõda, kui Luhamaa õigeusu koguduse abikirik lagunes, ehitati siia kalmistule uus Ristija Johannese kirik – selleks andis loa Vene õigeusu kiriku asjade volinik. Kalmistu kuulub Meeksi Eesti Apostliku Õigeusu kogudusele.
