A pillar of freedom for Estonia

The Estonian government put out a tender for the design of a monument commemorating the country's war of independence between 1918-1920 and has now chosen a 28-metre-high pillar. The Estonian newspaper praises plans to have the monument completed by 28 November 2008, the 90th anniversary of the beginning of the war. "The long delay in the building of a freedom monument is among the country's greatest embarrassments. Even before the Second World War there were plans for such a monument, and the tender was supposed to be put out back in 2001. At a time when even in Washington there is a monument to the victims of communism, it's all the more strange that we have no monument to the events that led to Estonia's independence. Although we have the bell of freedom in Tallinn, it symbolises the regaining of independence in 1991, not the initial achievement of independence in 1918."
