On Sunday, Finnish author and sociologist Johan Bäckman, known for his anti-Estonian statements, was detained at the Port of Tallinn and deported from the country - on the anniversary of the controversy over the relocation of the Bronze Soldier statue in the centre of the Estonian capital in 2007.
Bäckman is an eager apologist for the Soviet Union, and a harsh critic of the present regime in Estonia.
