Of the more than 10 million Soviet soldiers killed during WWII, many were buried in unmarked graves. One of them was Mikhail Kulygin, who died in a battle near the village of Galki in what is now Belarus. In April 2010, the soldier's grandson, RFE/RL correspondent Alexander Kulygin, joined his father on a journey to find Mikhail Kulygin's final resting place.
