Bust of Jaan Kreuks

The location of a bust of Jaan Kreuks needs documentary confirmation before a particular square or building can be named.

Monuments to political figures in Soviet Tallinn could stand in parks, institutions or outside buildings. The available description of a Kreuks bust does not establish where it stood, who commissioned it or when it was removed. A map point therefore cannot serve as proof of a location. The bust remains a useful research question: finding it in photographs and records would show how political commemoration entered everyday urban space.

Practical information

Address: Tallinn

Treat the Tallinn map point as a research lead. Do not search a specific property for the bust without evidence of its location.
