Actually, no, it chose to celebrate soldiers. Fascist doctrine or policies had nothing to do with the celebration, any more than Communist doctrine or policies had to do with Russia's recent celebrations of the U.S.S.R.'s victory over the Nazis.
Actually, I think I may have to take back that comment after seeing the pic at #29. I'll bet the Estonian monument didn't have any swastikas on it.
Are you joking?
The monument celebrates those that volunteered to serve in what amounts to death squads. They did not volunteer to liberate their lands.

So what soldiers fight for does not matter? How long did it take you to come up with that "pearl?"
any more than Communist doctrine or policies had to do with Russia's recent celebrations of the U.S.S.R.'s victory over the Nazis.
These celebrations take place at the present time. Asked at the present time whether Nazism should have been defeated you'll probably (although judging from your posts I am not sure) answer in the affirmative. That is why Russians' celebration is not immoral. It is other past actions of the Russian communism that were immoral, and their existence has nothing to do with the celebration.
The monument answer the question differently: the SS death squads -- including numerous Estonians in death camps --- is an abomination. But apparently not to you.
