Rocket fuel dump likely cause of pollution

Basically, it turns out that the Soviets put a landfill site underneath the Kozeslksy volcano in the 70's. This site was used to bury toxic rocket fuels, as well as arsenic and mercury.

Which just goes to show how dumb we are as a species. Bury toxic materials under an active volcano? Sure - what could possibly go wrong?

Russian rocket fuel on a Volcano ?

So ! The Russians want to be the first nation to send a volcano into orbit, clearly ....
....clever !.....
