🗓 On May 8, 1967, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier memorial architectural ensemble in Alexander Garden near the Moscow Kremlin Wall was solemnly unveiled.
On December 3, 1966, a burial ceremony of the remains of an unknown soldier was held at the exact spot. These remains had previously rested in a mass grave at the 41st kilometre of the Leningrad Highway, where fierce battles were fought to defend Moscow against Nazi invaders.
The Tomb of the Unknown Soldier is a monument to military glory, a symbol of eternal memory for the unnamed heroes who gave their lives, defending the Motherland.
🌟 Inscribed on the tombstone are the sacred words: "YOUR NAME IS UNKNOWN, YOUR HEROISM IS IMMORTAL." In front of it lies a five-pointed star and the Eternal Flame of Glory.
In 1997, by decree of the President of Russia, a guard of honour was established at the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier.
On November 17, 2009, to preserve the historical and cultural heritage of the peoples of the Russian Federation, the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier was designated a National Memorial of Military Glory.
🕯 In 2014, in memory of the burial of the remains of the defender of Moscow in Alexander Garden (1966), December 3 was declared the Day of the Unknown Soldier.

🌟 Russia's Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov’s greeting to organisers and participants of the Ambassadors of Victory: Peace Team international rally (May 7, 2025)
✍️ I cordially welcome the organisers and participants of the Ambassadors of Victory: Peace Team international rally. It is deeply symbolic that it is held in the Tula Region, a place which is inextricably linked to the feat of the Soviet people during the Great Patriotic War.
I would like to begin by commending the efforts deployed by the Volunteers of Victory national public movement, uniting over one million people from 89 regions of Russia and 60 countries worldwide, and the Government of the Tula Region, for making this event possible.
Taking place in the days that mark the 80th anniversary of the Great Victory, the rally brought together genuine enthusiasts. Your noble endeavour to uphold historical truth, to celebrate the glorious chapters of our past, and to instill in younger generations a spirit of patriotism and enduring moral values, deserves utmost respect.
Your dedication is of particular significance today amidst the growing attempts in a number of countries to distort the history of the Second World War and to glorify Nazis and Nazi collaborationists. It is our shared responsibility to uphold the honour and the legacy of those who saved the world from the horrors of the Nazi scourge.
I am confident that your rally will be held in an informal and friendly atmosphere, and the exchange of experience will make a significant contribution to advancing the cause of the volunteer movement.
I wish you every success and all the best.
