The Russian Soviet Occupation of Estonia lasted from 194-41 and 1944-1991. For long 48 years Estonia, has been a part of Soviet Union – USSR. During almost half a century, each of the leaders of the Soviet Union left their marks in Tallinn. And even now – over 24 years after independence of Estonia was restored, there are still many sites in its capital city related with the Soviet Communism Era.
