Bye Bye Bronze Soldier

Walking back from my Estonian class tonight I had to walk through I riot to get home! Authorities have finally begun to remove the Bronze Soldier, a Soviet WWII monument and war grave. Thankfully I was able to walk round the edge and avoid any trouble, but it was annoying as the whole area which I would normally walk home was closed. Sirli was waiting for me to come home while watching riot police smash Russian morons over the head with batons, and was a little worried! It takes a special kind of stupidity to charge at a solid line of police in riot gear, but it makes good TV!!
If you want to kill some time and get some background read this.
