Human remains including a skull and several bones have been found mixed in with sand that was used to grit roads in Russia. Police have launched an investigation after the bones were discovered scattered along a newly-gritted road in the Siberian city of Kirensk. A local minister said the sand was taken from land close to a graveyard, which is how the bones ended up mixed in with it. The road where the bones were found is named after a soldier who fought during the Russian Civil War. Alymov was entrusted with keeping the gold bullion seized by Lenin’s Bolshevik forces from the Whites.
