The Moscow city prosecutor’s office said construction workers found 10 human skulls along with at least 10 fragments of other skulls and dozens of various human bones during an excavation of underground communications facilities at a site where a restaurant once operated.
A statement from the prosecutor’s office on November 20 said the remains might have belonged to persons who died 20-30 years ago, but some Telegram channels say the remains may date back to World War II when a military hospital and a bomb shelter were located at the site.
An investigation has been launched into the finding.
