Putin Slaps Estonia

It looks like Russia is trying to reassert its authority behind the Iron Curtain.

Russian President Vladimir Putin has condemned people who “desecrate memorials to war heroes”, accusing them of sowing discord between nations.
His comments at a Victory Day commemoration in Red Square appeared to be a continuation of a war of words with Estonia.

Estonia last month moved a Soviet-era war memorial out of the city-centre of the capital, Tallinn.

The move angered ethnic Russians in Estonia, and led to violent clashes.

One person was killed in the disturbances, and hundreds arrested.
