By EUobserver
The remains of between 5,000 and 8,000 people have been found in 29 graves in the southern city of Odessa in Ukraine, the BBC reports. The site, believed to date back to the late 1930s, was uncovered during exploration works for a planned expansion of an airport. Hundreds of thousands of Ukrainians died during Joseph Stalin's rule of the Soviet Union.
