Thank you for starting this thread and posting the videos. I was not aware of the masses who came out to honor their brave dead soldiers. Whether they agreed with their countries political positions or not was never an issue. Who had a choice? How noble families were able to keep pictures of their loved ones.

My ancestors (2 women) left your country as young teens right before the Russian Revolution. We still have distant relatives living in one of the small towns. One of their sons served in the Russian Army.

Please ignore the trolls who advocate bombing another country. Despite remnants of distrust we are again fighting a common enemy, DAESH, together. Pray for worldwide peace.
