In April 2007, the former Soviet republic of Estonia decided to relocate a monument of gratitude out of the centre of its capital city, Tallinn. The bronze statue depicts a pensive soldier with his head bowed, one hand holding a helmet and the other curled into a fist. For Estonia’s Russian minority, it was a symbol of the country’s liberation from fascism by the Red Army. For Estonians, it was a reminder of the country’s occupation by the Soviet Union.

Oh, and if I recall correctly, the only reason this "Russian minority" is in the Baltics is because STALIN SHIPPED THEM IN AFTER OCCUPYING THE BALTICS!!

Yes, Stalin wanted to Russianize the entire Soviet Union, basically to Stalin, although ethnically Georgian, Russians were the “Master Race”, he had entire ethnic communities uprooted in order to move in ethnic Russians.

Not to mention that the Russians were shipped in after a large percentage of the population were deported: I think Latvia had 40% of its population shipped to Siberia.

Between October 1939 and June 1941, almost 1.1 million Poles were deported via cattle car to Siberia, of whom almost 600,000 died either during transport or shortly afterwards.

Eff the Russians.
