(9 May 2017) Russian speaking people gathered in Tallinn at the monument to Soviet soldiers on Tuesday to mark the Soviet Union's victory over Nazi Germany in World War II.
The annual commemoration, that brings together thousands of people every year, lasts all day as people bring flowers, candles and old photographs of fallen relatives.
People started to lay flowers on Monday night, and a huge pile of traditional red carnations had formed by the feet of the Bronze Soldier, the monument to Soviet soldiers at the military cemetery in the Estonian capital, by Tuesday afternoon.
A memorial for the Immortal Regiment (Bessmertny Polk) consisting of photographs of WWII Red Army veterans was also set up by the entrance to the park.
Similar celebrations also took place in other cities across Estonia, and the Baltic states.
