Workmen building a road outside of Vladivostok discovered a mass grave with at least 495 skeletons, probably dating to Stalin’s purges in the 1930s, municipal authorities said Wednesday. At least 3 ½ tons of bones were extracted from the site, the city government said. Many of the skulls had gunshot wounds. Millions of Soviet citizens were executed or died in labor camps during Stalin’s rule.
