  Old Jewish cemetery in Kremenchuk, Ukraine

According to ESJF European Jewish Cemeteries Initiative, the exact period of the cemetery's establishment is unknown. The cemetery is clearly marked on the Russian map of the 1860s and later maps. Presumably, it is also marked on the town plan of the 1780s. The cemetery already existed in the mid-19th century. Most probably, it emerged much earlier, in the early 19th or late 18th century.  The cemetery was used until WWII and ruined during the war. After the war, gravestones were stolen for use in various construction projects on the land of the nearby artillery depots. The Jewish section on Reyivske municipal cemetery was opened on the part of the territory of the Old Jewish cemetery, which had been demolished. Part of the site is now occupied by abandoned artillery warehouses, while another part is now used as a Jewish section on the nearby Revivka municipal cemetery. There are about 30 gravestones. It was impossible to determine the point of separation between the stones from Kremenchuk Old Jewish cemetery and the Jewish section in the municipal cemetery. 

Date of the oldest tombstone: 1888
