Barrels Containing Over 200 Human Fetuses Found Hidden in Russian Forest
A man on a fishing trip in the Ural mountains stumbled onto a number of mysterious barrels in the forest on Sunday, but when one tipped over and cracked open, he made a horrifying discovery.
The fisherman’s friend, Sergei Tvritinov, recounted the discovery to Russia’s Channel 4 News:
“A friend of mine called at night and said he went finishing and wanted to get some wood for his fire. He found some abandoned water canisters and wanted to take them for his house. And when he came up, he saw… little baby bodies.”
When police showed up the following day, they discovered 248 human fetuses, aged anywhere from 12 to 16 weeks, stored in the canisters, all of which shriveled and mummified when exposed to the air. Stranger yet is that the tiny embryos are at least a decade old, each of them individually numbered and bearing their mother’s names on small ID cards, a practice frowned upon by most Russian hospitals performing abortions.
Authorities believe the canisters were thrown from a truck tasked with disposing medical waste from any of the surrounding cities’ medical facilities, though all biological waste is legally required the be individually sealed and immediately destroyed, making this case exceptionally odd, as the fetuses were found stored together in formalin.
The fetuses have been placed in a morgue while prosecutors decide on charges to lay, and who gets them.

Oh it say’s human fetuses, I thought it said human feces. For a moment I thought the article was about my trip to the Moscow curry festival last year, during the national restroom attendent’s strike.
That is some bizarre shit, right there. Wow.
I couldn’t help thinking what if one of the mothers who aborted these babies was out on a hike or fishing trip and stumbled on these barrels and kicked one over and out rolled her baby with her name on the ID tag? Almost like an accusation from the grave exposing this genocidal form of birth control.
man, what great fishing bait they would have made.I’m sure that one just tipped over and broke open.
