Tallinn, ESTONIA: A Russian-speaking woman lays flowers on a fence at the former site of a Soviet Red Army soldier monument in Tallinn, 09 May 2007. The Estonian authorities removed a Soviet war monument called the Bronze Soldier from a central city square in Tallinn at the end of last month. The statue was re-installed a few days later in a military cemetery in a quiet neighbourhood of the Estonian capital. The removal of the statue sparked rioting in Tallinn, where half the population of 400,000 is ethnic Russian, and plunged relations with Moscow to their lowest point since this Baltic state won independence from the Soviet Union in 1991.
