In France, the search for the remains of Russian soldiers from the First World War has resumed. Units of the Russian Expeditionary Force participated in the battles in northeastern France in 1917 - since 2023, the remains of 17 Russian soldiers have been found there, after which the excavations were stopped. Now French authorities have ordered their renewal, said historian and search engine Pierre Malinowski, and criminologists and experts from the French National Center for Scientific Research will also take part. "It will be of great importance for Russian-French relations," Malinovsky believes.
