Relocating Soviet war graves in Estonian military cemetery
22.05.2024, Tallinn.
The remains of 16 members of the Soviet military interred at their current site in the Defense Forces Cemetery in Tallinn over 50 years ago were relocated elsewhere, in order to facilitate an access route to a monument at the same site. The monument, the Cross of Liberty (Vabadusrist), was destroyed in 1950 by occupying Soviet authorities. It was restored in 1998, but still lacked an access route.
