Cleanup

[edit]

This page needs better paragraphing. A picture would also be nice. JDH Owens talk | Esperanza 20:18, 6 October 2005 (UTC)[reply]

The removal of the term "Soviet" in favor of using "USSR" seems a bit revisionist, especially in the sentences referring to the burials from 1917-1922. The USSR was formed in 1922, but the Soviets (councils) existed from the start of the revlution. Smallbones 20:19, 7 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Complete List

[edit]

Is there anyway of getting a complete list of the people buried here? Obviously this would exclude the mass burial graves and maybe the ashes in urns.

The Russian version of this article includes a list of people buried in the wall. Camptown 18:24, 2 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Brezhnev and Zhukov?

[edit]

The article here states that Georgy Zhukov is buried here, yet in the list at the bottom, Lenoid Brezhnev is listed...which is correct? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 209.244.189.22 (talk) 23:35, 6 March 2007 (UTC).[reply]

Yes, Brezhnev's coffin was lowered to the grave on November 15th 1982. Zhukov is also buried here. Superzohar Talk 21:14, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Picture of funeral

[edit]

It will be very nice to put a picture of one of the soviet funerals of Brezhnev or Suslov or Andropov or others. Superzohar Talk 21:16, 30 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]


John Reed's "Body count"

[edit]

Somebody wrote that John Reed incorrectly mentions 500 burials in the mass grave. It's true, he does mention 500 victims in his book. However, the article does not mention that John Reed was told by someone (in german) that there were 500 victims. It is fair to say that he never actually counted the number of victims. This would become more obvious if the full quote was included (the one currently in the article is incomplete, it does not end with "Fraternal brotherhood, he explained"). For completeness, he later comments on the 500 coffins that were being buried there. I assume he is being coherent with his previous comment, not necessarily embellishing the event. Besides, not many people can tell the difference between 250 and 500 coffins without actually counting them.--Pedro magalhaes86 (talk) 23:13, 21 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Update?

[edit]

In October 2005, 51% of respondents voted for a funeral and 40% for preservation.

So, what's happened since then? Nothing? Sca (talk) 21:12, 4 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]


John Freeman

[edit]

It would be good if someone could fill out something on Wikipedia about John Freeman who was interred in the wall, along with the other passengers killed in the Aerowagon crash in 1921. I cannot find much and would be glad to see some content about one of the few foreigners honoured in the wall. Can anyone help? rturus (talk) 15:57, 6 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]

see Aerowagon. - Altenmann >talk 01:06, 16 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]
