One of many historical reminders that Russia is the absolute evil. Estonia commemorates 75 years of March deportations when over 20000 people were brutally taken. It is about 2% of the population (9m people from today's EU). Many perished and most never returned home.
Happy Restoration of Independence Day! 32 is just a start!
