Stalin & the Soviet Union...cared nothing for lives - just the establishment...funny how that is playing out right now in the US under the current Comrade in Chief...

I read a moving anecdote, years ago, of when an American Patrol linked up with their Soviet Counterparts, in the last days of WW II, in Europe. Suddenly, a shot rang out, and a Russian was killed, by a sniper. An American jumped into the ditch, where the soldier fell, and grabbed his version of “dog tags”.

The Soviets were clearly puzzled, and asked the G.I. what he was doing. “His family must be notified, that he was killed, in battle”, came the reply. The Russians threw the dog tags back onto the body, and said “When the war is over, and he does not come home, his family will know, that he was killed”.

Interesting article. I suspect the cold climate of Russia has helped preserve remains more so than Indo-China. And these are certainly fine people doing the work as volunteers.

Unfortunately, Putin, like Stalin, has little regard for Russian soldiers killed in the Donbas (Ukraine).
