The vandalism, discovered on Thursday of last week, occurred at the Vostryakovo cemetery, the only cemetery in Moscow that has a Jewish section. It was the latest incident in a series of recent attacks on Jewish targets in and around the Russian capital city. Jewish groups said they suspected anti-Semitism was behind the attack, which comes after the bombing of a Moscow synagogue in May and the desecration of a Jewish cemetery near the city last month. Last week's attack received surprisingly extensive coverage in leading newspapers and television channels here. J. Correspondent Also On J.
