About this reported the Estonian Public Broadcasting Company.
A specially created working group developed a map on which 322 monuments were drawn. According to experts, 244 of them are subject to demolition or replacement. As of the end of November 2022, 56 of them have already been dismantled.
The total number of objects also includes 215 military burials with commemorative sculptures, 96 memorials, 5 commemorative plaques and 6 statues, which were not assigned to any category. Among them, the working group assessed 74 monuments as neutral.
163 objects were in municipal ownership, 60 in state ownership, 87 in private ownership, five in mixed ownership, one in joint state and municipal ownership, and the ownership of six others is still being clarified.
The working group also concluded that some monuments are neutral. Therefore, it is suggested to leave them, having previously dismantled the plates.
For example, in the park of the Kekhtna manor, a monument (the work of Linda Rozin) has been preserved at the mass grave of 1968, and at its foot is a memorial plaque with the text: "To soldiers of the Soviet army who died in the Great Patriotic War." According to experts, the sculpture is a neutral marking of the grave, which should be preserved, and the information plate should be removed.
