Why does it "mock the memory of the victims of fascism" when Estonia celebrates Nazis fighting Communists, but it doesn't mock the memory of the victims of Communism when Russia celebrates Communists fighting Nazis?I'm no fan of Communism by any stretch of the imagination, but Hitler was a threat to the existence of civilization itself in a way that the Soviets were. There is no comparison.

Note: should have read, "in a way that the Soviets never were.

Only because he was more powerful. That didn't make the Soviets any more moral.

but Hitler was a threat to the existence of civilization itself in a way that the Soviets were. You must be kidding: the threat of annihilation by nuclear weapons was not sufficient for you? They collapsed before they could implement their evil designs fully. But they did have those designs, just as Hitler.
More importantly, why is of any relevance to compare to evil regimes when the question is whether any of them may be celebrated?
