The Russian Spiritual Christians Cemetery, sometimes referred to as the Molokan Cemetery, was established in 1911 shortly after the Molokan's, arrived to buy farmlands in Glendale, Arizona. The Molokans, known as the Spiritual Christians, was a religious group which broke away from the Russian Orthodox Church because they believed that the Russian Government was going to force their youth to serve in the military. This was against their believes. They arrived and established a community in California. Some of these families, among them the Tomachoffs and the Popoffs moved to Glendale, and established a Russian Village. One of the factors which benefited them was the sugar beet factory of that town. The Sugar Beet Factory closed in 1913 and the demand for their agricultural products declined, that and the climate of the area convinced many families to return to California.^[10] The cemetery is considered to be a historical site.^[11] Pictured are the following:

• Griffith Ave. is a dead end street. It is the only remaining street of the once Russian (Molokan) Farmers Village.
• The first Russian Molokans Church (Spiritual Christians) in Glendale built in 1950 and located at 7402 Griffin Ave. The structure was re-addressed as 6404 75th Ave. The first members of this religion arrived in Glendale in 1911. It was at one time the spiritual center for 200 families. It is listed as historical by the Glendale Arizona Historical Society.

The following is a brief description with images of the historic Cemetery of Spiritual Christians from Russia.

• This cemetery on northeast corner of 75th and Maryland avenues was established after 1912 on land loaned by Pavel Popoff to various tribes of Spiritual Christians from Russia. Most were varieties of Klubnikinisty, Maksimisty, Obshchei, Pryguny, and Sionisty. In 1918–19 about a dozen children died of influenza and were buried in unmarked graves along the east edge. Such unnatural deaths were believed to be "unclean" (nechistyy), and not marked. Traditional old Russian wood grave planks called golubez, pointed with a small roof, represented the "house" (dom) of the deceased. No crosses or images were used because Spiritual Christians are not Orthodox. No records of the early graves exist because the most zealous Spiritual Christians feared the government. In 1920 this cemetery served about 200 families (1000+ people) of mixed Spiritual Christian faiths from Russia, living in four adjacent villages. In the 1920s, most families could not pay their debts and moved to California, some to Mexico. About 1922, Popoff sold the property to a trustee to prevent it from being controlled by his zealous Tolmachoff in-laws. The collection of funds raised to pay for the land was recorded and shows that people who moved to California paid the most, and the entire Tolmachoff contribution was about 2%. In 2016 one gang of Tolmachoff brothers illegally forged documents, lied to police, stole the bank account, and claimed they "inherited" the meeting hall and cemetery property, changed locks and prevented anyone else from using the properties. Glendale Police and Arizona Attorney General avoid prosecuting white collar crime.^[5]
