Eternal Flame to burn elsewhere

The Eternal Flame at the Tob of the Unknown Soldier near the Kremlin Wall, in the Alexander Garden, is a symbol of Moscow and Russia to the same degree that the Saint Basil's Cathedral or the Spaskaya Tower at Red Square. Which is more, it is a symbol of strength of spirit, belief and patriotism that helped the Soviet soldiers fight the Nazi Germany. It reminds us of the suffering they had to go through, and it's impossible to imagine the heart of our capital wihtout it. But we'll have to do sofor the next two m=months during which time due to repair works the Eternal Fire will be relocated to the Poklonnaya Gora.
