Starting from the end of the story, we provide an introduction to the historical background of the soviet occupation of Estonia at the symbol of Estonian independence, the “Statue of Liberty,” centrally located in Freedom Square. On the Soviet tour, we will tell you about dramatic and humorous issues and memories (including pictures from the time), which will stay with us for the whole tour.
