I respect the Russian guard. (us soldier here). but that talking would not be tolerated at the Tomb of the Unknown.

@Bilbo2233 And also you do speak, when asking for silence...

[himmler251]

@Bilbo2233 i respect what youve done for our country, but as a military historian i must say tht the Russian marching techniques and manual of arms are HARD, ive been trying with my SKS for MONTHS trying to get it perfected, the US manal of arms i hat it down in 5 minutes.

To answer one of the commenters - they use ceremonial SKS rifles with nickel-plated metal parts and bayonet, with stock made of valuable wood and laquered. In addition, the ceremonial role of the SKS is underscored with the fact that it is no longer used in a combat capacity.

@Jackofalltrades16 It's the center if the big city, near one of the greatest tourist destinations. Compared to the circus tourists make of British Queen Guards, it's a church.

Those high steps are not dignified. Other than that: Awesome. And I agree with many others here that there should be silence during the ceremony...
