Russians accused of burning bodies at Kherson landfill
Residents and workers say occupying forces used site to burn bodies of fallen Russian soldiers.
The landfill site on the edge of Kherson offers some visible hints here and there, among the piles of rubbish, to what locals and workers say happened in its recent past. Russian flags, uniforms and helmets emerge from the putrid mud, while hundreds of seagulls and dozens of stray dogs scavenge around.
As the Russian occupation of the region was on its last legs over the summer, the site, once a mundane place where residents disposed of their rubbish, became a no-go area, according to Kherson's inhabitants, fiercely sealed off by the invading forces from presumed prying eyes.
The reason for the jittery secrecy, several residents and workers at the site told the Guardian, was that the occupying forces had a gruesome new purpose there: dumping the bodies of their fallen brethren, and then burning them.

“The Russians drove a Kamaz (truck) full of garbage and corpses all together and unloaded,” says a garbage collector from Kherson (in the photo). “Do you think someone was gonna bury them? They dumped them and then dumped the trash over them, and that’s it.”

Richard Godwin, locked and loaded.
A trip to the dump is one of my great pleasures in life – and I’m not alone. ‘The gruff camaraderie, the clang of rubble against metal’: Richard Godwin, locked and loaded. ‘I have unloaded the contents of a garage, a couple of tons of concrete, various defunct appliances, a broken chair and much emotional baggage’: Richard Godwin at the dump. Everything has its place at the dump, no matter how abject or broken. No wonder there were queues when it reopened after lockdown.

**MANDATORY CREDIT: Tharmaplan Tilaxan/Cover Images**
These harrowing images of elephants foraging for food on a Sri Lankan garbage facility were captured by Tharmaplan Tilaxan, a Jaffna-based photographer.
Elephants normally travel over 30 km per day and seed up to 3500 new trees a day. For the Oluvhil Palakadhu elephants many things have changed and their changed behavior will change our landscape. Tharmapalan Tilaxan has observed this open garbage dump amidst the jungles of the Eastern Province for many months and documented the hazards this poses to the local elephant population.
He explains the scenes in his own words:
In the eastern province, a herd of wild elephants have picked up a peculiar—and sad—habit: Since of late, these elephants have been seen foraging for food in garbage dumps.
One garbage dump—situated near an area near known as ‘Ashraf Nagar’ close to the forest bordering the Oluvil-Pallakadu area in the Ampara district—is considered the cause of this new, destructive and unhealthy habit.
Garbage from Sammanthurai, Kalmunai, Karaitheevu, Ninthavur, Addalachchenai, Akkaraipattu and Alaiyadi Vembu is dumped here, and has slowly encroached on the adjacent forest, becoming easily accessible to the wild elephants of Oluvil.
As a result of unintentionally consuming microplastics and polythene, large quantities of undigested pollutants have been found in the excretion of these wild animals. A number of postmortems carried out on elephant cadavers have yielded plastic products and non-digestive polythene in their stomach contents.
The herd of wild elephants—numbering about 25-30—now accustomed to feeding so close to human habitat have also begun to invade nearby paddy fields and villages seeking more food adding more tension to the already fraught relationship between the villagers and the wild animals.

These harrowing images of elephants foraging for food on a Sri Lankan garbage facility were captured by Tharmaplan Tilaxan, a Jaffna-based photographer.
Elephants normally travel over 30 km per day and seed up to 3500 new trees a day. For the Oluvhil Palakadhu elephants many things have changed and their changed behavior will change our landscape. Tharmapalan Tilaxan has observed this open garbage dump amidst the jungles of the Eastern Province for many months and documented the hazards this poses to the local elephant population.
He explains the scenes in his own words:
In the eastern province, a herd of wild elephants have picked up a peculiar—and sad—habit: Since of late, these elephants have been seen foraging for food in garbage dumps.
One garbage dump—situated near an area near known as ‘Ashraf Nagar’ close to the forest bordering the Oluvil-Pallakadu area in the Ampara district—is considered the cause of this new, destructive and unhealthy habit.
Garbage from Sammanthurai, Kalmunai, Karaitheevu, Ninthavur, Addalachchenai, Akkaraipattu and Alaiyadi Vembu is dumped here, and has slowly encroached on the adjacent forest, becoming easily accessible to the wild elephants of Oluvil.
As a result of unintentionally consuming microplastics and polythene, large quantities of undigested pollutants have been found in the excretion of these wild animals. A number of postmortems carried out on elephant cadavers have yielded plastic products and non-digestive polythene in their stomach contents.
The herd of wild elephants—numbering about 25-30—now accustomed to feeding so close to human habitat have also begun to invade nearby paddy fields and villages seeking more food adding more tension to the already fraught relationship between the villagers and the wild animals.
