Bronze Soldier of Tallinn, War memorial at Defence Forces Cemetery, Tallinn, Estonia
The bronze statue depicts a Soviet soldier in military uniform standing with a rifle on a granite pedestal at the Defence Forces Cemetery.
The memorial was created by sculptor Enn Roos and unveiled in 1947, marking the Soviet victory in World War II and the fallen Red Army soldiers.
The monument generates different responses from Estonian and Russian communities, reflecting the complex relationship between these groups in modern Estonia.
Visitors can reach the memorial by taking public transportation to Filtri tee 14, where the statue stands among military graves.
The statue's relocation from Tõnismäe to the Defence Forces Cemetery in 2007 led to significant civil unrest known as Bronze Night.
