Visiting cemeteries like visiting museums makes you think about eternal values, about humanity, especially when it finds itself on the verge of survival as a biological species under the influence of a frenzied struggle for power.This is what is happening today in the area of the nuclear power plant of the Zaporizhia region of the Ukrainian SSR.

The famous cemetery called "Saint-Genevieve-de-Bois" is located in France, in the town of Saint-Genevieve-de-Bois, 30 km from the southern part of Paris.
Along with local residents, emigrants from Russia were buried there.
The cemetery is considered Orthodox, although there are burials of other religions.
10 thousand representatives of Russian people in France found peace here.
These are grand dukes, generals, writers, artists, clergy, and artists.
In 1960, the French authorities raised the issue of demolishing the cemetery, as the leased land was about to expire.
The Russian government did not stand aside and allocated a certain amount to repay the debt, as well as further rent and maintenance.
The ashes of some graves were reburied in Russian cemeteries in the 2000s.
Even on the way to the cemetery, the realization came that visiting it could be considered a duty.
