Monument to the 1905 Revolution
A monument to the 1905 Revolution recalls people killed when armed state forces fired in Tallinn.
During the unrest of 1905, protesters and armed authorities confronted each other in Tallinn. Shooting at a market site left people dead and a lasting memory of violence in the city. A monument in the Estonia puiestee area interprets those events in public space. When viewing it, distinguish the loss of human lives from later political accounts: different regimes have used the same events to convey different messages.
