About This Tour
Join us on this thrilling tour into an era of occupation, propaganda and revolution. Tallinn's Soviet past is in many ways hidden in plain sight. It is visible, but hard to discern. We will pull back the curtains to see how communist era Tallinn (and Estonia as a while) functioned. We will explore an abandoned Soviet missile base, see the Song Festival Ground (birthplace of the Singing Revolution), see Soviet neighborhoods, visit a memorial to Estonian civilians and more. What propaganda posters promise to people? What was the KGB doing in Tallinn? How was education reworked during the occupation? What role did Tallinn play in the 1980 Moscow Olympics? What was the Singing Revolution. These are but a few topics we will cover on this unique tour.
