(for those who don\'t know, the government of Estonia has exhumed and removed
the remains of Estonian and Russian veterans of WW2 together with the memorial
in Tallinn, because \"for Estonia the victory meant occupation\";
likewise, Estonia has rehabilitated former members of Estonian SS, responsible
for thousands of civilian murders in concentration camps)

Anyway, ran across this funny piece:

Estonian children like to play \"graves\", a favourite children\'s
game)

Jesus, since the hitler card was already played, here's another view:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Stalin
I suppose this belongs more in bs than politics group. While I understand that
one should respect the dead and so, what's happening in estonia and moscow is
plain bullshit.
Helps confirm the views of a friend in Moscow though, "Check out the red stars
above all the buildings. Goes to show, nothing has changed apart from the name
of the state."

Quite interesting. Likening Stalin to Hitler is just the card that the
Russia-haters like to use. Without knowing any facts. All the figures of
'GULAG deaths' are taken from one major source - Mr. Solzhenitsyn. And that is
a dubious source at best. FYI, Stalin never had a policy of racial supremacy
or destruction of other peoples. That's just for starters. If you research
more, you'll find out many new things for yourself perhaps. And by the way, it
seems the red colour irritates others than Estonians too

And finally (not to return to this again), these are not just any dead. These
are Heroes, that helped rid the world of Nazi scum. But I can clearly see that
contemporary generations prefer to forget the past, to allow the rewriting of
history. Very well. There is no way to stop it, until another Hitler comes and
history repeats itself. Sad, but true.
