- Description
- Two open horse drawn carts, the one in front quite full, transport bodies collected from the city streets to a burial site. Several men passing nearby stop to look at the carts. The location appears to be a major city street in Kharkiv with a tree-lined boulevard. A streetcar runs on the other side of the boulevard.
