Residents in the Russian city of Revda are being made to dig graves as punishment for not paying government fines on time.
Twenty-one offenders will complete 1,820 hours of compulsory community service in the city's graveyard, according to the Sverdlovsk region press service.
The unpaid labor, which also includes painting fences, clearing footpaths and gathering litter, does not cancel out the debts, which include unpaid parking tickets and alimony.
It's not the first time that Russian bailiffs have resorted to unusual tactics to get their dues.
Officials in Russia's Perm region seized a debtor's cat in May 2016 to give him "an incentive for early repayment."
A Message from The Moscow Times:
Dear readers,
We are facing unprecedented challenges. Russia's Prosecutor General's Office has designated The Moscow Times as an "undesirable" organization, criminalizing our work and putting our staff at risk of prosecution. This follows our earlier unjust labeling as a "foreign agent."
These actions are direct attempts to silence independent journalism in Russia. The authorities claim our work "discredits the decisions of the Russian leadership." We see things differently: we strive to provide accurate, unbiased reporting on Russia.
We, the journalists of The Moscow Times, refuse to be silenced. But to continue our work, we need your help.
Your support, no matter how small, makes a world of difference. If you can, please support us monthly starting from just $2. It's quick to set up, and every contribution makes a significant impact.
By supporting The Moscow Times, you're defending open, independent journalism in the face of repression. Thank you for standing with us.
Remind me later.
