The London guards are also the same rigid statues and the change of guards is such an elaborate fashion.

This seems typically Russian – frugal and utilitarian.

The Tomb must be like our India Gate and the eternal flame there. The WW2 saw Russia bear the brunt of German force. The maximum casualties were suffered by the Russians.

Cheers
