Russian obituaries

In the olden day, I haven't checked lately, Novoe russkoe slovo used to
have lots of them. So if you have access to years of that newspaper, you'll
have plenty of material.

As far as Russia is concerned, again, in the olden days it was newspapers
that had the word "Vechernjaja" or "Vechernij" in the title that printed
obituaries on the last page, for ex. "Vechernjaja Moskva", "Vechernij
Leningrad". Why them and not others? That's a good question.
