Not only Russia, but also Ukraine does not realize the scale of this tragedy. This is what Svetlana, a nurse who recorded the collection of death certificates, said about the bombing of the Kakhovskaya hydroelectric power station by infidels. Now it is located in territory controlled by Ukraine.

The Associated Press published an investigation that said the number of victims was in the hundreds, not 59 as the Russians said.
The occupation authorities were not visible during the first three days after the dam was blown up, locals say. The bodies of the dead piled up, and their relatives came to the doctors in despair.
Bodies floated around the city like balloons,” recalls Svetlana.
Thus, through the process of rotting, the corpses were inflated.
Doctors initially secretly issued death certificates under both Ukrainian and Russian law so that Ukraine could keep records of the dead. After returning, the occupation administration ensured that doctors indicated other causes of death, such as a heart attack.
A few days after the explosion, the Russians brought trucks and offered to evacuate people to Radensk, Kherson region, and from there transport them to Chelyabinsk and Tula (Russian Federation). People asked to be taken to dry land in Oleshki, but the occupiers refused.
Journalists write that in Oleshki the first bodies were placed in a mass grave without coffins or bags. The bodies were not autopsied and the cause of death was not determined. The fate of the unidentified bodies that the Russians took out with their “rescue service” also remains unknown.
