In late February 1975, I was standing near the left edge of where those soldiers are (at :09 on the video), around 9:00p, a couple hundred yards from the cathedral.
Lights began flashing and bells were ringing from the gate just to the right, and a Zil limousine came swiftly out from within the Kremlin walls, passing within 20 yards of where we (a group of junior-high students from the Vienna American Int'l School) stood.
To this day, I'm certain it was Leonid in the back seat.
As you know, Vlad Ilyich's tomb is just outside the right field of view in that same frame.
