I read this some time back, and it was recently posted again on another forum I frequent. I felt it was good enough to share with Rallypoint.

There is some sort of a brotherhood I feel with all soldiers, and I'm glad to know that someone is trying to finally give these troops a proper burial.

Of the 26 million Russians who died in World War Two, up to four million are still considered "missing in action". But volunteers are searching battlefields to find and bury them.

And yet they are witnessing Vladimir Putin enact a law that denies their deaths of their Soldiers in his Ukraine grab. Full circle
