O.P. Russia criticizing Estonia for removing monuments honoring Soviet union
http://www.iht.com/articles/ap/2007/01/24/europe/...Russia-Estonia.php

What the hell are they thinking?! How can they feel offended when we are removing symbols remembering past and Soviet Union? Estonia has had a long way up to the independence and Russia has been the major factor preventing us becoming independent. Yeah, besides that russians are claiming that there never was an occupation and whatever that was going on - it was good for the country. WTF do they know? Would this problem be a problem if the "accredited" occupation was good to us and to our country? Would i be posting this thread if i'm happy with past events? No way!

It seems that russians can be described this way: all that they doesn't like, does not exist or has to be annihilated. It's like they don't have a clue about moral justice and rights (etc "you can have your opinion, but it's indisposed to obtrude it"). If they feel offended by this law, then what should we do? Should we close our eyes and pretend that there was no russian rule and we're all happy and optimistic? No! We should have hanged ourselves years ago if they are upset because of that. Red army destroyed so many cultural inheritances and momuments when conquering Estonia and other Baltic countries. What do you think about that? Imagine a situtation where Estonia or any other state has conquered entire or part of Russia. After this, they set up monument glorifying it's state's soldiers and rule. Would you/they, russians, remove the statue after regaining the land and power?

Time goes on and every day im becoming less and less tolerating against Russia and russians. It's just ... abnormal.

Note: this thread was not submitted in order to provoke international antagonism. This is a matter of opinion.
