#1 Tallin is the Russian spelling. TALINN is where it's at. ;-)

#3 Russian Duma wants Moscow to take decisive steps if Tallin begins to dismantle a monument to the 50,000 Soviet soldiers who died fighting the Germans in World War II, euronews informed.

I know: cut off their gas and oil. If that doesn't work, there's always polonium-210.

#4 He added that Tallinns move was dictated by motives that have nothing in common with the necessity to learn lessons from the past and build a unified Europe without any borders.

Wasn't the monument built to commemorate soldiers who died fighting an attempt to "build a unified Europe without any borders"?

#5 I don't blame the Russians it would be like the French considering plowing through those massive US cemitaries. I would be pissed so I can see the Russians point the Estonians sided with the Germans they lost the Russians won. Choices in life have consequences the Estonians should deal with it. I have no love for the Russians but they got a point.
