Members of historical clubs dressed in the uniform of French soldiers carry a coffin with remains of French General Charles-Etienne Gudin de la Sablonniere participant in the French Revolutionary Wars and Napoleonic wars during the ceremony of repatriation of his remains to France at the Vnukovo-3 airport in Moscow, Russia. On 2019, a team of Russian and French archaeologists unearthed a coffin in the Russian city of Smolensk some 250 miles from Moscow with remains believed to be General Gudin. A DNA analysis proved the hypothesis correct.
