A resident of Yekaterinburg Natalya Semenova shared very An interesting story that happened to her grandmother Taisia.
… It was in the thirties of the last century. Future grandmother Natalia lived then in the city of Kasli (Chelyabinsk region), in her house, next to the old cemetery. Accustomed to the neighborhood of graves, she didn’t have any superstitious fears towards them and concerns. By the way, this cemetery has been preserved to this day; on it you can see a lot of cast iron figures and an old chapel on main alley.
