This CBC News report from Russia was amusing.

Imagine standing in a Moscow graveyard late at night. You're alone, with no bars on your phone and desperately curious about Russian author Anton Chekov.

It's an unlikely horror movie scenario, but it's one Moscow is preparing for by introducing free Wi-Fi to three major cemeteries.

Visitors to Novodevichy, Troyekurovskoye, and Vagankovo cemeteries will have access to free Wi-Fi starting sometime next year, according to French news service Agence France-Presse.

These are the city's historic burial grounds, which collectively hold the remains of Soviet Union leader Nikita Khruschchev, writer Nikolai Gogol and author Anton Chekov.
