Estonia should have arrested all communist murderers and put them on trial. Former party members should not have been eligable to hold any political position Now, this evil ideology is just regrouping under different names and the satanic ideas of Marx are finding a new audience.

To: It’s sad…

What exactly is sad here? That someone who committed universally condemned criminal acts will finally be subject to judgement in a legitimate Court of Law? That he is too old to be held accountable? That there were many others who will never be held to account because they’re long departed? Well, I’ll concede the last point.

If you read the article, you’ll find that Jaan Pähna was complicit in the deportations of many families from Hiiumaa in 1949. Yes, 1949! Not only complicit, but a leader, who personally arrested many… the majority of whom died in Siberia.

What is sad, is that many who were responsible for the more heinous acts against civilians lived lives of relative luxury to the very end. That now there be some sort of open judgement for one of them is not sad at all. That by openly judging one, all be judged (i.e. the criminals long departed) is not sad, but the moral thing to do.

As for this somehow seeming “psychologically weird?” Well what feels weird is the comment.

We all know that were many Estonians that collected information for the SSR, and turned on their fellow men, and had them deported....we know there were many Estonians who were forced to compile information against their fellow neighbors, or face punishment or even death themselves.

A court can go back 90+ years and perhaps through lawful means can prosecute this man.

But psychologically....I don't know. It just seems weird to me.
