Russians celebrating "Victory Day"

The statue was originally designed to commemorate the Soviet soldiers who died liberating Tallinn from the Nazis and are seen as "liberators" by Russia. Estonians do not view the soldiers as liberators, as the Soviets then started the second occupation of Estonia, which lasted until 1991. Photo: Tairo Lutter / Postimees
