I think that they consider this monument to be built in honor of Estonian soldiers (freedom fighters) and not to celebrate fascism itself.

That well may be. But these were not freedom fighters; these people were not like Vlasov's brigade that defected to the Germans and served in the German army. These people were SS --- guards in death camps and oppressors of their own people.

I don’t know wherever such historic revisionists like current Russian politicians has the right to protest…

That point is well taken: if I were a Russian official, I would be quiet, given Russian own history.

It is more interesting, however, that posters on this thread support going to any length, doing whatever immoral act, as long as it irritates the Russians. As if morality has not even visited them.

It's interesting, to say the least, to see this on the conservative board.

Foreign waffen-SS units were not guards in death camps.

I didn’t wrote that I support this idea. It is controversial as I stated above. Estonians joined Germans because they wanted to get rid of the Soviets. It is pact with devil against another devil. I blame them for the crimes which they committed but I don’t blame them because they fought the Soviets. Poland fought Soviets invaders too, so it is not wrong.
