Post number one is the most important place for Russia in every sense. Only the best, persistent and proven sentries get here as sentries. Soldiers are obliged to keep watch in any weather, around the clock, without being distracted by anything. Considering all this, I would like to understand what these guys are made of, because even in a thirty-degree frost they remain at their posts.
Russian soldiers of the Special Guard company have to face a variety of difficulties when fulfillment of their direct official duties - the honorary guard of the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the Eternal fire. The first trouble that torments the soldiers every now and then is the harsh weather conditions. If the summer heat can still be survived, then it becomes decidedly incomprehensible how the sentries cope with the severe frost. It is quite obvious that no warm boots and coats will be enough for a few hours on duty.
In fact, everything is quite simple, although this makes it no less interesting. The fact is that there are several "secrets" for the FSO fighters in places of guard duty especially for winter time. So, most of the sentries serve in strictly established places and at the same time stand on special tiles. Underneath these tiles is a radiator that heats the feet of soldiers during the winter season.

Also, special booths help to escape from the cold and wind. When it gets very cold, the sentries have the right to lean back against the back wall. It also has a special electric plate that emits heat in severe frost.

It is also worth adding that the FSO fighters are under constant supervision of their comrades during the guard. The soldiers cannot move and talk, but this does not mean at all that they cannot turn to the commander. If a soldier becomes ill or something else out of the ordinary happens, the soldier must tap his fingers on the ramrod of his SCS. Immediately after that, he will be replaced by a comrade.
