More than 50 Jewish graves were desecrated in a Russian cemetery, according to the Union of Councils for Jews in the FSU. In addition to last week’s vandalism at the Jewish section of the Tikhvinsky cemetery in a region east of Moscow, Jewish graves were covered with swastikas and obscenities at a cemetery in the Ural Mountain region, according to the group.
