Wi- fi users can ‘ unwind’ at moscow cemeteries

Moscow As part of their campaign to bring Wi-Fi to crowded public spots in the Russian capital, Moscow authorities are connecting up an unlikely new location: cemeteries. C ity hall said Thursday free Wi-Fi will be available at the city’s three main cemeteries starting next year. Artyom Yekimov from a state-owned funeral directors company said this will attract more visitors to the historic cemeteries where many illustrious Russians are buried. The Internet connection will also help them to “unwind” at specially designated places in the cemeteries. About 120,000 people are buried in Moscow every year, with a further, smaller number cremated.
