    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.

    General Johan Laidoner (1884-1953)-Commander-in-chief of the army- the co-ruler of Päts.

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

    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.
