Estonia won, Russia got bronze

"Congratulations, comrades Klenski, Zarenkov and other members of the Constitution party and other Notšnoij Pozori activists. Yestarday night you finally showed who you realy are. Or served the beating, shop despoiling and arson historical truth and the protection of the monument, (Bronze Soldier) what you punctuate so much?", this way wrotes Mart Arop in Postimees. In my opinion it sums up all the events in Tallinn and Estonia in last days.

"..It is obvius that something is wrong in our society, when after 15 years of independence, there are still hundreds of youngsters who are ready to kill, rob and beatfor the first call „Rossija! Rossija!“..," he says.Pronze soldier

But Russian media reflects these events very differently. In every stament from Russia, we could feel intense hostility.

Foreign Minister Sergei Lavrov said Moscow would "take serious steps". Russia's Foreign Ministry did not specify what measures it was considering against Estonia. Lavrov, at a NATO meeting in Oslo, said the issue was of interest to Estonia, Russia and to Europe as it touched on European values.

"We've seen enough of this mocking the dead and scoffing at the victory in World War Two," Russian news agencies quoted Federation Council Speaker Sergei Mironov as telling the chamber

In every sentence, the hostility is clearly stated and even the lies are very obvious( there is no moking about the dead).

CNN wrote frankly about those events fortunately.

German newspaper Handesblatt wrote that when the darkness came, then the Estonian government removed the Bronze Soldier statue.

Austria Die Presse wrote that the Estonian police lost control over the youngster gangs.

France newspapers Le Figaro ja La Liberation were very laconical about the events in last night and noted that Sergei Mironov called to break off diplomatic relationships with Estonia.

Lithuania and Latvia supported Estonia.

Javier Solana (one of the leaders of the EU) also supported Estonia and he disapproved the violence in Tallinn.

The leader of the United Nations Organization Ban Ki-moon called Estonia and Russia to settle their disagreements in the spirit on honour and reconciliation.

Not all the European member countries were in the Estonian side after these events. Russia has still big influence ( mainly because its huge natural resources) and its media published a lot of false information. This false information was quoted by many big European newspapers and wrong opinions about these events came into being.

These events have showed that the integration doesnt't work in Estonia and Russia wants to control Estonian politics and their land.
We will survive, because our relic is freedom and judiciousness!
