Estonia Seeks Patarei Museum Name to Highlight Communist Crimes

Estonia wants Patarei Museum name to focus on communist crimes

In mid-April, a letter from the French Embassy appeared in the public document register, asking the Minister of Justice to ensure that the name of the future museum in Patarei Prison would reflect the suffering of victims of all totalitarian regimes, not only of communism. The ministry has not responded to the embassy, but maintains that the focus should remain on the crimes of communism.
