Harvard speaker busts coconut oil health myth calling it 'pure poison' Gulag grave hunter unearths uncomfortable truths in Russia. The pine trees creak and rustle ominously beneath even the faintest breeze, as if the vast forest between Lake Onega and the Finnish border remains reluctant to give up its dark secrets.

As their remains decayed, the earth above each mass grave sank into the ground. It was these pockmarks in the forest floor that helped Yury Dmitriyev and other members of Memorial, Russia’s oldest human rights organisation, find this site at Sandormokh in 1997.
