Tomb of the Unknown Soldier

This guide to the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier at the Kremlin wall in Moscow opens with a construction crew outside Moscow breaking into a mass grave from the Battle of Moscow in the autumn of 1966. You'll hear why the soldier they found, stripped of every badge and tag that could identify him, was chosen for reburial here, and follow the December 1966 procession that carried him from a gun carriage into the earth. The guide also traces where the eternal flame beside the tomb first burned before it reached Moscow.
