| | | Why Estonia relocated monument |  Sun May 13, 2007 1:30 pm by Admin | There are many reasons why bronze soldier and graves where relocated.
1. Statue also symbolizes occupation of Estonia. Estonia wasn’t liberated during WW2.
2. It is not acceptable that occupation symbol would be located in centre of town in front Estonian National Library and other important buildings.
3. There have been many demonstrations against monument.
4. Monument was often used as a political provocation tool.
5. It was located in trolley stop, hundreds of people walked on graves every day.
So, to different nations it means different things. Grave peace is now guaranteed. Monument has a new beautiful location in graveyard, old place is covered with flowers, in European Union flag colours.
Statue relocation had nothing to do with fascism.
