Butovo memorial
Situated approximately 27 km south-east of Moscow, Butovo is the site of the Butovo firing range, a mass grave dating from the "Great Purge" of the 1930s. In excess of 20,000 people were shot and buried there from August 1937 to October 1938 [1]. It has become a shrine to Joseph Stalin's victims and has an Orthodox church on the grounds.
