I'm not forgetting that but from the BBC;
After a pact between Hitler and Stalin, Soviet troops arrived in 1940 and Estonia was absorbed into the Soviet Union. Nazi forces pushed the Soviets out in 1941 but the Red Army returned in 1944 and remained for half a century.
Seems to me the Russians were collaborating with the Nazis:hmm: .
