A sketch is currently making the rounds online that supposedly represents a Russian plan for the construction of mass graves. The document contains instructions on how Russian soldiers should proceed when digging mass graves.
It is this illustration:

Mass graves: 16 soldiers should be able to bury 1000 dead in 3 days.
An illustration was used to record and explain what should be taken into account when excavating. Among other things, you have to make sure that you have to treat corpses with chemicals or that you should compact the earth with a bulldozer at the end. With this instruction, 16 soldiers should be able to bury 1,000 dead within three days.
This instruction is part of a document that can be found on the GOST website and on the official website of the Ministry of the Russian Federation for Civil Defense, Emergencies and Elimination of the Consequences of Natural Disasters.
The authorities in Russia had already set new technical standards for mass graves in 2021. The changes came into force on February 1, 2022, three and a half weeks before the attack on Ukraine.
The so-called “GOST” (Gosudarstvennyy Standart, state standard) database, in Russian “База ГОСТов”, contains instructions for the “urgent burial of corpses”, including information about the depth of the pit or the individual distance between the coffins. Radio Free Europe as early as December 2021 .
The document, which was published on the website of the Ministry of Emergency Situations on December 20, 2021, appeared at a time when the United States, the European Union and Ukraine have expressed concern that Russia is sending tens of thousands of soldiers stationed near the Ukrainian borders and interpreted this as a possible prelude to military action.
Russia denied at the time that it was planning to invade Ukraine and made a number of demands, including direct dialogue with the United States to resolve security issues. Moscow wanted a guarantee that Ukraine would not one day become a member of NATO.
According to the document, the accelerated mass burials concern those killed “during military conflicts or as a result of those conflicts or, if necessary, as a result of a peacetime emergency.” The regulations will come into force on February 1, 2022. According to the regulations, mass graves cannot be created near water supply and sewage systems, natural mineral water sources, and rivers and lakes with a water level of up to two meters below the land surface.
The document also states that regional authorities are responsible for preparing and carrying out work related to mass graves.
Changes could be related to war crimes
Ukraine expert and former head of the Heinrich Böll Foundation in Kiev, Sergei Sumlenny, suspects that the changes could be related to the war crimes. He tweeted about it on April 2nd, 2022
– Russia planned to take Kiev within 3 days, after which Ukraine surrendered;
