    It appears that the Russians have built A memorial to fallen German soldiers during the great patriotic war. Here is the video[video=youtube;jm8DDtw5-W0]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jm8DDtw5-W0&feature=related[/video]

    Interesting. Surprises by some of the comments. Not what you would have expected to hear from Russians.

    good video, it's a pity it's so short.
    I would have been interested in more details.

    A great Hurray for our Ruski friends for this honorable gesture . They suffered a lot and though I think it's fair to honor the fallen from both sides, I can understand some Russians are still resentful :poppy:

    Interesting video. Evidently, there are several of these cemeteries in Russia. Good for them.
