In exhuming the bodies, the country also brings its past to the surface
have been killed in the war that in Lviv, in western Ukraine, the latest victims are displacing the dead from wars past. On August 4th, Vitaly Chekovsky’s family looked on sadly as he was buried with two comrades, in a military section of the city’s historic Lychakiv cemetery. The sandy earth where they buried him was soft and loose. Until only weeks ago his grave had been the resting place of someone else.
The Red Army liberated Lviv from the Nazis in 1944, and then pushed on westwards; but the fighting was not over. Ukrainian nationalist partisans battled troops from the, for years afterwards. Mr Dmytriv believes that the majority of those buried in the newly found graves weremen, and 560 of them have been exhumed since April to make way for the new dead.
