The Russian Federation has created guidelines for emergency mass burials

The Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations has prepared guidelines for the rapid creation of mass graves during wartime. It contains calculations and criteria: how deep a pit to dig, how to lay the bodies, how to cover them with soil and other recommendations, The Moscow Times reports.

The text states that workers will be needed to equip the mass graves and provides an estimate of labor costs. One such burial was designed for 100 dead. The corpses should be placed in two layers (50 in each), in which there should be about a meter of soil. This design was to be completed with a burial mound 0.75 meters high.

Judging by the estimate, most of the time – 234 man hours – was devoted to digging the pit. You can use a bulldozer for this. The mass grave must be 20 meters long, three meters wide and 2.3 meters high. In total, making one grave site takes 368.5 man-hours.

Separately, the textbook describes in what cases it is possible to burn the dead, how to reduce the risks of contamination by chemical and radioactive substances and biological agents.

We remind you that, according to the General Staff of the Ukrainian Armed Forces, in the past 24 hours, the Ukrainian military destroyed 1,460 Russian invaders.

And during the operation in the Kursk region of Russia from August 2024, Ukrainian paratroopers inflicted damage on the enemy of almost eight thousand soldiers.
