Estonian Occupantional Museum

Kudos for the Estonian Occupational Museum located in Tallinn for putting their videos online.

The museum is lined with old suitcases - presumbly used by emigrating Estonians - and filled with handcrafts made by Estonian soldiers. But the two most striking things are - all of the removed public statues now in the basement, and the Russian proganda during the Soviet era (On display in the films)

Its striking the efforts that the Russian(and German) government used in order to try to legitimize their actions apon another people. Staged protests. Staged elections. Coerced diplomatic agreements. It completely dissolved any trust I can present to any goverment from this point forward.
