Tomb of the unknown soldier in Moscow[/heading]

3.December 1966 in Moscow near the Kremlin wall were buried the remains of the unknown soldier, taken from the fraternal mounds on 41. kilometer of the Leningrad highway.
From this year, is the day of the 3.December in Russia celebrated the feast of "Day of the unknown soldier".

Widely celebrate the victory in the Great patriotic war (according to our terminology 2.world war) in the USSR began only in 1965. Then Moscow received the title of city - hero and 9.may has become a nationally slaveným holiday.
In December 1966 in Moscow were about to spectacularly celebrate 25.anniversary of crushing the German troops near Moscow. The year before that jubileem formed by the first secretary of the municipal party committee of N.G.Jeoryčeva the idea to create a monument to the soldiers, fighting and fallen in the battle of Moscow. This monument was to be a landmark location of national importance and could become just a monument to the Unknown trooper.
Regardless of the correctness of the ideas the project failed to implement immediately. For example, the highest representative of the USSR L.Also.Brezhnev flatly refused to Alexandrovský park as the location for this monument. Outside it can also cause problems with the moving of the obelisk from the place of brotherly mounds (i.e. 41.kilometer of the Leningrad highway), which was originally carved and built in honor of the 300-year anniversary of the start of the reign of the Romanovs (1613 - 1913) and who was out of Lenin's initiative, redesigned the monument to the revolutionary agents.
Another nejednoduchým task was it who actually, as the unknown soldier near the walls of the Kremlin to hold. What if it turned out that it was maybe a deserter? In those days, when the above questions are addressed, was in Zelenogradu in Moscow (coordinates: 56°00'51.00"N 37°12'30.00"E) in the framework of the construction of the city discovered brotherly mound from the time of the war and it was decided to choose dead specifically here. Selected well-preserved remains of a soldier in uniform without any identification marks. Military experts this time have confirmed that if it was this soldier a deserter, then he shouldn't be wearing a harness. A prisoner of the soldier also couldn't be, because in this place the Germans didn't get. No documents warrior had - his remains were actually nameless.
