“The inhabitants of Tallinn, a town awarded with the Lenin Order, have not forgotten those who lost their lives in the name of happiness of the future generations. On the shore of the westernmost sea of our great home country, a memorial ensemble was inaugurated, commemorating those who fought for the victory of Soviet power in Estonia under the yoke of czarist and bourgeois power.”
– G. German, Tallinn, Eesti Raamat, Tallinn, 1978
