Hello list,
For WW2Panorama.org project I make two panoramas in Tallinn city.
http://tallinn.info/ww2/
One is the Soviet Soldier monument in Tallinn, which depicts a Red
Army soldier in uniform. The monument was erected in 1947 to
commemorate the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany.
9th May, just few hours before 2000 people gathered there for a
memorial ceremony the monument was vandalized (daubed with red paint).
You can see photos of this incident at Delfi (Estonian news portal):

with best regards,
