Thanks for a fascinating and thought provoking article. This is a theme worthy of further exploration since the history behind communist memorials is, apart from the corpses, fictional. Yet, the sentiments they provoke are as real as tears.

I'm also curious about Estonian communities on the other side of the Peipsi (since my late father was born in one). If you (or anyone) can direct me to some reading material on this subject, I'd be grateful.
