Uspenski cemetery
Tartu's Uspenski or Dormition cemetery, on the south-west side of the Raadi cemeteries, was founded in 1773, when Empress Catherine II banned burials in churches and churchyards across the Russian Empire. It is the Orthodox part of Raadi, entered through a red-brick gate in historicist style. Among those buried here are the theatre director Karl Menning, the actor Leonhard Merzin, the neurosurgeon Ludvig Puusepp and the painter Hermann Rossländer.

Raadi kalmistute edelaküljel asuv Tartu Uspenski ehk Jumalaema Uinumise kalmistu rajati 1773. aastal, kui keisrinna Katariina II keelas kogu Vene impeeriumis matmise kirikutesse ja kirikuaedadesse. See on Raadi õigeusu osa, kuhu sisenetakse historitsistlikus stiilis punastest tellistest värava kaudu. Siia on maetud teiste seas teatrijuht Karl Menning, näitleja Leonhard Merzin, neurokirurg Ludvig Puusepp ja maalikunstnik Hermann Rossländer.
