‘Little Bodies’: Four Barrels Holding 248 Fetuses Found in Russian Woods (Graphic)

Editor’s note: This post contains content that may be disturbing to some. Discretion is advised.

Villagers in Russia’s south Urals have stumbled upon a gruesome discovery — four barrels containing 248 human fetuses left in a forest.

“A friend called at night and said he went fishing and wanted to get some wood for his fire,” local resident Sergei Tveritinov said to a state television channel, according to Reuters. “He ran into some water canisters and wanted to take them home, but when he came closer he saw little baby bodies.”

Police in the Sverdlovsk region said Tuesday the fetuses, preserved in formaldehyde, were kept in barrels with tags containing surnames and numbers.

Police suspects that one of the four local hospitals is responsible for dumping the barrels.

The fetuses were found a few miles away from a highway linking the region’s capital, Yekaterinburg, with another big city, Nizhny Tagil near the Ural Mountains.

Reuters reports deputy head of the regional government, Vladimir Vlasov, saying on state television that a company responsible for the “bio-medical waste did not carry out its duties” of disposing of it properly.

Ria Novosti has more:

“I hope that the Investigation Committee will establish where this happened: in what residential area, in which hospital and who organized these criminal activities,” Batalina, who is the First Deputy Chair of Duma’s Women, Family and Children Committee, told Izvestia.

“And then, Duma deputies and the Health Ministry should draw the necessary conclusions and hold an investigation of their own, and establish why this became possible and what should be done to prevent the killings of unborn children at a legal level,” Batalina said.

The Daily Mail reports the way the fetuses were found is not in line with standard disposal practice of the “hazardous waste” in Russia either. It also notes it is not common practice to label embryos to be disposed of. One theory is that they were part of medical research, such stem cell research.

The Associated Press contributed to this report.

      And those almost 50 Million babies killed in the USA in recent years were not American, but Russian (a special transportation delivery of murdered babies was evidently arranged)

      RUSSIA HAS A LARGE NEGATIVE BIRTH RATE

      White Russian babies thrown into the trash.

      Putin is trying to encourage Russian women to have more children for if they don’t in 20 years Russia will no longer have enough young men to defend the nation. Putin must begin to build private homes with back yards to encourage couples to have children. Who the hell wants to raise a family in a reinforced concrete monolith apartment with no grass parks or privacy. Putin is college educated in the West, speaks English and should know better. Let Russians own property and he will solve all this problems and become a hero. Peter the Great made Russia European, Putin must make Russia more like America.

My mom had a “choice” 65 years ago when advised that she was in danger of dying of she carried me to term. She was brave enough to say my life was worth the risk. We both lived although I was extremely premature.

    The communists pushed abortion during their years as Russia’s masters. Like us,….. their abortion system is running like a well-oiled machine. They are still indoctrinated well. They think dead babies are “waste”. This attitude pervades the leftist thinking from Russia to America. Leftist are animals. They are baby killers. The left has no morals and are demonic beings. They should be laying on a forest floor…not innocent babies.

      I have been thinking of what has really changed our country over the past 50 years or so. I mean just what happened that caused so many people to believe that they can freeload off the income of the workers? I came up with 3 items that are almost gone in todays world.
      1)The work ethic. Nobody wants to work anymore. They think everything should be free from the rich or the government.
      2)Personal responsibility. Today… anything that happens is somebody else fault.
      3)Morality is gone. We through God out of our lives. God represents the moral life. With the 60′s came the saying “If it feels good, do it”.

      The answer is to do away with 90% of the federal government and abolish the welfare state. If you don’t work… you don’t eat. That is not to say that there a small number that truly need help and that should come from private charity.

      I welcome your comments.

    These are little people, perhaps not fully developed but little people nonetheless, the same kind of little people who are aborted every day. Some women don‘t fully realize the horror of abortion and some don’t care for selfish reasons. Anyone considering abortion should take a long, hard look at this photo and think about the value of every human life, not just her own.

      “Orthodox Christianity is legally part of their historical heritage.”

      “The history of Christianity in the Soviet Union was not limited to repression and secularization. Soviet policy toward religion was based on the ideology of Marxism-Leninism, which made atheism the official doctrine of the Soviet Union. Marxism-Leninism has consistently advocated the control, suppression, and the elimination of religion. The state was committed to the destruction of religion, and destroyed churches, mosques and temples, ridiculed, harassed and executed religious leaders, flooded the schools and media with atheistic propaganda, and generally promoted ‘scientific atheism’ as the truth that society should accept. Religious beliefs and practices persisted among the majority of the population, in the domestic and private spheres but also in the scattered public spaces allowed by a state that recognized its failure to eradicate religion and the political dangers of an unrelenting culture war.”

      “…Having lived under Communist rule in the former Soviet Russia, Mishin and his fellow Russians were literally freed by the fall of that regime that began with the overthrow of the Czar in 1917 by the Bolsheviks. What followed was an experiment in Communism that killed millions of Russians as a succession of dictators, starting with Lenin, sought to impose an economic and political system that simply does not work. Mishin enumerated the ways the path to the present effort to destroy capitalism and our political system has been laid in America. “First, the population was dumbed down through a politicized and substandard education system based on pop culture, rather than the classics.” There are few that would argue that the American education system is not controlled by the National Education Association, a union, and the American Federation of Teachers, a union. Both have long supported the Democrat Party. Virtually every way one can measure the system reveals its failure to educate the millions passing through government schools. “Then their faith in God was destroyed, until their churches, all tens of thousands of different ‘branches and denominations’ were for the most part little more than Sunday circuses…””.
