It was decided to bury the ashes of one of them—a private soldier—in the very heart of the capital, in the Alexander Garden. A temporary memorial plaque was installed over the grave with the inscription: 'Your name is unknown, your feat is immortal. To those who fell for the Motherland. 1941–1945.' On May 8, 1967, the Eternal Flame lighting ceremony took place near the monument," the Moscow Mayor wrote.
