for us, baltians that monument is a symbol of terror, soviet occupation, murders. Our grandparents died in siberia for nothing, as many other baltians did....
that soldier came to kill us and destroy our nation. All that time we were slaves in our own country.
And dont talk about that stupid Saint war, that was only the pretext to occupy us. Russians could just leave us when they won the war, but they brougt us much bigger troubles. That was just one more imperialistic Kremlin plan.
And besides, Geneva Convention says it is illegal to build settlements on occupied territory. Russians always were uncivilized and they dont give a shit about the law, to them all means are legal for their imperialistic power big Russian.
