Estonia has begun dismantling its Soviet Era war monuments, angering Russia and led to the death of one Russian Estonian in a protest. Should Estonia remove these monuments, or is Russia correct in saying it is galvanizing anti-Russian sentiment?

    Ok,you asked that question on the 28th of April 2007 when we had a huge conflict between Estonians and Russians(I live in Estonia).Now I want to say that the Soviet monument, which was removed,was standing in the centre of our capital,Tallin,and I would like to have a good reason why such a monument(where Russians were celebrating the 9th of May every year,singing Soviet songs and carrying Red flags)should stand in a palce that is totally inappropriate for a war monument(especially a war that cost Estonans their freedom for over 50 years)It wasn´t destroyed,it is standing in a war graveyard where all the war monuments are and people can still visit it every day.And if You haven´t heard the the Russians did horrible things to Tallinn that night when the monument was removed..they robbed all the stores,smashed everything and burned our flags,they even hanged a Russian flag on a building.Is that normal??And that has been the only monument we moved to another place...
