The Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact gave independent Estonia to the Soviets. -1
The Soviets liberated Estonia from the Nazis. +1
The Soviets would not restore Estonian independence. -1

Sorry, Russia. The net score here is a -1. You lose. The monuments have to go. But please don’t forget any of the above three things. That +1 was a pretty important thing.

“The Estonian state and government have no right to make the decision.”

You, like many Russians, are unclear on the concept of national sovereignty.

Estonia will likely follow Latvia and remove these monuments to a fallen empire. If Russia doesn’t like it then they can start a war over it.

I’m sure they still have a few border guards left who might be able to make a few noises. But with almost the entire 76th Air Assault Division (Pskov) fighting in Ukraine then there’s not much in theatre for Putin to deploy.

In short, if Estonia goes ahead and removes these monuments then Russia’s just going to have to suck it up.

It might have been worse for them had the USSR had not driven the Nazis out.

Jon is upset because I identified and published traffic from validated Russian IP addresses on FR.

Not sure why a guy who says he’s from Florida, Texas, and Ireland would be upset about that.

On the other hand, there is a large statue of Reagan in Budapest. The Hungarians never forgot how much the Gipper did to liberate them.

Note the flowers that someone placed at the base of the statue.

“It might have been worse for them had the USSR had not driven the Nazis out.”

Neither was better than the other. Both slaughtered tens of thousands of Estonians and neither deserves to have any monuments in Estonia.

“He smoked you out”

You mean he read my publicly posted web page? Wow, you and he are just like Sherlock Holmes and Doctor Watson. That took some amazing detective work.
