An employee of the Dnipro History Museum, Kirill Gabor, discovered an unusual burial artifact on the grounds of a former Jewish cemetery. This was reported by "Vidomo," referencing Gorod.dp.ua.

"I went to scout the area near the Zhandarmska ravine, where there used to be a Jewish cemetery. The old Jewish cemetery was located in the area of Zhandarmska ravine. It was closed at the end of the 19th century due to a lack of available spaces.

There were few grand burials here. During World War II, the cemetery suffered significant destruction, and in 1947, its territory was allocated to a retired officer for individual construction," the report states.

Kirill Gabor noted that this information is mentioned in the work titled "Yekaterinoslav Necropolises. New City" from 2008, authored by Valentina Lazebnik.

"In fact, after the reconnaissance, a huge tombstone was discovered, 99.9% from the cemetery area. It is made of labradorite – a valuable material even at that time. The stone lies face down, so aside from the presence of figurative elements and possible inscriptions, it is difficult to describe them right now."

"I really hope to turn it over, and ideally – to museify it!" the researcher writes.
