There’s almost no news coverage in the U.S. of what happened last night here in Tallinn. According to the Baltic News Service, “at least 44 rioters and 13 police sustained injuries during the unrest. At least 300 arrests were made.” Also, one Russian was stabbed to death by another Russian. The monument has been fully removed (they had intended to wait until May 9th). I don’t believe they have yet removed the Red Army bodies from the grave, though.

My husband spent the night at his office.

Lots of videos on YouTube.
