Gruz-200 i eshche Gruz-300 i mozhet byt' i Gruz-400

[Alina Israeli]

Even prior to the war abroad (and during WWII Soviet soldiers were  
buried wherever they died, so no coffins were involved), vernut'sja v  
cinkovom grobu, or privezli v cinkovom grobu meant that the body was  
in such a state that the coffin was not to be opened (i.e. so that  
the relatives would not see the disfiguration).
