During the 60s and 70s a grandiose, sprawling World War II memorial was created in virtually every Soviet city. Tallinn’swar memorial complex is located on the coast, along thehighway that leads to Pirita Beach. The four-sided spire was put up in 1960 as a memorial to Russians who died in 1918.
The rest of the complex, with its avenues cut into the grassy hillside, amphitheatre, and concrete and iron figures, was created in 1975 as a memorial to the Soviet soldiers killed here in 1941. The site was originally a cemetery for German war dead, and a memorial to them, made up of multiple concrete crosses, is visible behind the complex.
