meanwhile recently a high school instutuion was opened in estonia that was with german slant (languages, philosophy, etc, etc). The owners put portaits in the hall of the shcool featuring waffen SS legionaires. Then invited the german embassy. You can imagine how shocked never mind embarassed the poor ambassador was. He recommended it was taken down, since, ehem, it's kind of illegal in germany and he felt it sends a totall wrong message in german school. The portraits were taken down.

So my kid goes to school with nazis on walls. How amazing is that? ....

Yes, it's all politicial, on national level there is little animosity between NORMAL people. I at least don't interact with any crazy nazist estonians, then again I work in a bank and crowd there is more or less educated, successful and open minded. May be on some construction yard there are debates, but not at my work place. To us it's like "politicians seem to think they solved all our problems, and now thankfully found one more they can deal with - the statue on a grave of soviet soldiers" - especially this statue, considered one of the best examples of neo soviet art, where the soldier is not the all conquering monster, but a sad looking guy with face down and mourning fallen comrades.
