"The view is absolutely amazing, you can see the whole city from the top: the Old Town, the harbour, even some far-away districts. However, remember that it's not so easy to get to the top. It's quite exhausting and the steps are steep and narrow, so better grab a hold on something if someone is coming from the opposite direction!"

"Yes, the view is certainly spectacular from the tower. Once I was up there on a crisp, clear winter sunday and once when 1995 became 1996 with all the fireworks exploding in the night sky and both times were something really really special. Especially since I was in the company of some friendly and devoted christians from the congregation of the church. And afterwards you will remember your visit up there everytime you see this church in a photo or in reality..."

"The Bronze Soldier has now been completely restored in its new location at a military cemetery on the outskirts of Tallinn. The bodies of 8 soldiers exhumed from beneath the monument's former site in Tonismagi has been relocated with the monument, while the remains of four other soldiers were sent to Russia to be buried with their families.

"Climbing to the look-out platform was a challenge at least 10 stories one step at a time, but well worth the effort. The views of the city & harbor are spectacular."

"redressing many years of wrongs against the estonian people with new wrongs against the russian population will only leave both sides frustrated and impotent - and violence only makes things worse. it's up to the sovereign estonian government to decide what to do with historical monuments in their country; and though their decision was nationalistic and a bit petty, it should be respected, and not used as an excuse to riot."

"A lot of the russians who are rioting here in Estonia dont know the historical background...Do you understand what the regime did to our country? (ten thousand people(including women and children)in 1941 and even more in 1949!) Not to mention the demolishing of our own symbols (concerning our culture). Our monuments were savagely dismantled and censorship was everywhere (among other terrifieng acts). The Sovie regime was devastating for us, we estonians have never approved it. Many russians were intergrated to estonia during the occupation, now the offspring of them are rioting on the streets. To russians: the bronze soldier has become (during the past years) a place where you gather and some of you even show red flags and sing the Soviet anthem. Try to understand the situation from our viewpoint. Do you know how a estonian feels when you wave your red flags and burn our flags on our own independent land?! Do you approve communism too? Remember: in a democratic country its ok to commemorate your love ones, noone objects. But its not a wargrave for you anymore, its a place to make political statements. And thats completely wrong. Picures of the riot: http://www.postimees.ee/galerii/index.php?picture=18697 Today I read that in Himki (Russia) a wargrave was desroyed. I do not understand: while you do not even bother moving your WWII monuments(you destroy them), why do you make huge deal here in Estonia (and also we are moving the statue away from the downtown area of Tallinn (we are not destoying it!!)). Russian people, please before you act, learn the historical background that concerns the relations between Estonia and Russia and the regime. Think please! Read international sources not the ones in Russia, because a lot of them might be censored. From Estonia, Hoping for peace..."
