A memorial to victims of Soviet-era repression in Tomsk, Russia was removed by officials just a month after it was installed. The makeshift memorials honored over 9,000 people executed and buried in the city's Kashtak ravine during the 1920s and 1940s. Despite requests from relatives and local residents to leave the memorials, they were removed as they had not been authorized by authorities.
