The government of Estonia allocated more than 900,000 euros for the removal and relocation of monuments dedicated to the Soviet army.

The government has approved changes that make it easier to make decisions about the removal of monuments to Soviet soldiers.

APA reports this with reference to TASS.

According to the Estonian government, these monuments are a symbol of "support and justification for the occupation regime and acts of aggression".

According to ERR state television and radio, 244 Soviet monuments in Estonia will be relocated or demolished.
