As on Monday SL Ohtuleht newspaper quoted elder of the Maksa volost Margus Pleksner as saying, it was written Glory to Comrade Juhan Parts on the memorial sign in white color. The vandals meant Estonia's Prime Minister at whose ordinance the monument at Lihula, depicting an Estonian soldier wearing the Nazi uniform, was dismantled on September 2.
As Mr. Pleksner said, the memorial sign bearing the inscription Here Red Army units forced a crossing of the Emajogi river on September 17, 1944 has already been put in order, and police are investigating the incident.
After the Lihula monument to the Estonians who fought on the side of Nazi Germany was dismantled on September 2 on an instruction of Estonia's government about 15 acts of vandalism with regard to the monuments to Soviet soldiers have been perpetrated in the country.
The republic's Prosecutor's Office and police are investigating these incidents but none of the vandals has been detained so far.
