Preparing two new cemeteries for the residents of Krasnoyarsk.
In the heart of Siberia, the bustling city of KrasnoYarsk is running out of burial spots. As a temporary solution, the deceased residents may soon find themselves laid to rest on two new cemetery sites – one in Berezovsky and the other in Yemelyanovsky districts.
This grave issue has been lingering in KrasnoYarsk for years, but it recently resurfaced during Mayor Vladislav Loginev's annual report. In response to questions from city council members, he revealed that the space in the new section of Shinka Cemetery, opened in 2021, could run out...wait for it...this year!
Two potential sites are already earmarked for the city's expansion. The first one is near the Shinka Cemetery in Berezovsky District. The land has been prepared with all necessary documents and has been spruced up; a road leading to it has even been constructed.
The second location is still under wraps - in Yemelyanovsky District, near the KrAZ industrial complex. At the moment, it falls under agricultural designation.
"I recently submitted a letter to the head of the local government asking for a discussion on how to expedite the land transfer there, so we can establish a new cemetery," the mayor shared.
In addition to this, the city will complete its inventory of burial sites this year, providing a complete understanding of the resources available at the cemeteries. Oh, and here's a fun fact: construction on a crematorium has already begun in the massive "City of the Dead" – the BaDalyk Cemetery – right in the district!
So there you have it, folks. Bad news for the dead but good news for the living – and an opportunity for some dark humor, perhaps? Now, if you're curious about the exact construction status and specific locations of these new cemeteries, I'd recommend checking official local sources directly. After all, Google might not have all the answers.
