Russian Bronze Statue in Estonia

[Stan]

Hey Tequila !

From your own initial post:

That certainly seems to imply government support for the event.

That's my post from a newspaper, but my opinion or feeling was as follows:

The gatherings or venue this past Sunday (there were two as Kaur pointed out) were not to celebrate SS units or Nazi Germany, but in memory of those Estonians in those units who fought side-by-side in the belief of freedom from Russia. IMO, the Minister’s statement reads “we need more patriots like you and take action in our country so that Estonians recognize the need for patriotism and Estonian freedom from future occupation.”

I doubt and hope that the MOD did not commit political suicide over such a minuscule event (as the new government has only been around for 100 plus days now). Stranger things have however happened here.
