The chapel on the Russian section of the New Cemetery was built in 1930–1931 to a design by the architect Valery Stashevsky as a replica of the Iveron Chapel in Moscow, demolished in 1929. Next to it stands the monument to Russian soldiers who died in the First World War; Metropolitan Anthony (Khrapovitsky) is buried in the crypt beneath the chapel. In April 2012 the Belgrade City Assembly defined the Russian Necropolis as a complex of four cemetery sections, the monument and the chapel; the bell tower was restored in November 2012 and the works at the necropolis were completed in 2014.

Храм-часовня на русском участке Нового кладбища построен в 1930–1931 годах по проекту архитектора В. В. Сташевского как воспроизведение Иверской часовни в Москве, снесённой в 1929 году. Рядом стоит памятник русским воинам, погибшим в Первой мировой войне; в склепе под часовней погребён митрополит Антоний (Храповицкий). В апреле 2012 года Скупщина Белграда определила «Русский некрополь» как комплекс из четырёх участков кладбища, памятника и часовни; в ноябре 2012 года восстановлена колокольня, работы на некрополе завершены в 2014 году.
