A gas turbine rotor and blade include a root portion, a platform and airfoil portion arranged along a span direction of the rotor blade, the platform located between the root and airfoil portion. The platform has an upstream and downstream side, side faces which extend from upstream to downstream side, an axial groove in each side face extends perpendicular to the span direction with a minor component of extension in span direction. A radial groove in each side face extends towards the axial groove with a component of extension in span direction and a component of extension perpendicular to the span direction. The radial groove has a first end that shows away from the axial groove and a second end that shows towards the axial groove. The second end is located a distance from the axial groove forming a groove free section between the second end and axial groove.
