MOSCOW (AP) — Villagers in Russia's south Urals have stumbled upon a gruesome discovery — four barrels containing 248 human fetuses left in a forest.

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.

seems plausible. A few years ago it came to light that in most hospitals in the GDR they'd simply drown premies below a certain weight in a bucket of water right after the birth even though some of them showed strong vital signs because the administration felt it shouldn't allocate scarce resources to their treatment. I doubt things were any better in the Soviet Union.
