Re: Protesters, police clash in Russia

I know it is not perfect, but you are really asking quite a lot for a nation to have suffered so much under Soviet occupation to when they finally are gained independence to suddenly also achieve perfect tolerance towards the former occupiers.

To me and to most outside people the actions of Estonia seem a little harsh, but the Russia seem totally ridiculous.
The place where the statue is today seems quite beautiful and respectful.

I know of no cemetaries or monuments in russia celebrating soldiers or nations that have fought wars against russia that are in any respectful condition.
Please prove me wrong!

If you cannot, please shut up about this currently very respectful monument celebrating the former brutal occupiers of Estonia.
