This was reported to NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" by the Main Directorate of the Ministry of Internal Affairs for the Nizhny Novgorod region. The department also added that the security of cemeteries falls under the competence of the property owners. It was previously reported that about 50 graves were damaged at one of the cemeteries in Vyksa. According to local residents, the destruction appears to be selective. Residents suggested that the graves may have been damaged based on some specific criteria. They do not rule out the possibility that the incident could have been an organized action. It is worth noting that a similar incident occurred in June at another cemetery in the Vyksa district - in the village of Doschaty. At that time, several tombstones were damaged, and the culprits turned out to be four children aged nine to ten. NIA "Nizhny Novgorod" has channels on Telegram and MAX.
