Prime minister of Estonia, «ex-comrad», now mister , using «The law of defence(?!) of military burial places» going to oblige Tallinn municipality to make an exhumation of soldier's grave at the foot of monument. The absence of principles of the Estonian prime minister consists from facts, that exhumation will be held in the beggining of May – that is exact time when veterans will come to the monument.
