Beginning in 2005 , on the initiative of the Adam Mickiewicz Polish-Lithuanian foundation together with the Council for the Protection of Struggle and Martyrdom Sites ( one of the main initiators of the project was Andrzej Przewoźnik , a Polish historian who died in the airplane crash in Smolensk in 2010 ) , conservation work on the cemetery ( known in Polish as Cmentarz Bernardyński na Zarzeczu ) commenced with the aim of restoring the necropolis for 2010 , the two hundredth anniversary of the founding . The restoration work was funded by private donors as well as through a joint effort by the Polish and Lithuanian governments . More than a hundred historic tombstones have been renovated , most of them those of Polish and Lithuanian participants of the January Uprising , Home Army soldiers and the past faculty of the Stefan Batory University . Further renovations are planned
