Yes, Päts and general Laidoner- the leaders of the pre-war Republic
in the picture.
Konstantin Päts (1874-1956) as State Elder/President was the head of the state in 1933-1940.

Tallinn used to be a very beautiful city. The Vanalinn still is. But all that Soviet architecture, eugh. :mad:

It may be hard to believe that Narva was said to be a beautiful baroque town before the war.

I'm envious of Tallinn's medieval Old Town. Helsinki has nothing that compares. Turku may be... But I've never been there.

Old part of Helsinki resembles me old part of Tartu.

I've been to Turku and I can say that it isn't comparable to the old town of Tallinn, which is one of the most preserved in Europe. Although Turku Castle was magnificent.

Setumaa a.k.a Petserimaa- region of orthodox Estonians- is an area which is a bit different than other parts of Estonia.
These areas belonged before the war to Estonia but now 2/3 of it belongs to Russia.

In May 1939 there was a big accident in Petseri- a big fire. Because of heavy wind and hot weather the fire went out of control and 1/3 of the town burned down within 3-4 hours.
