Alyosha

2008 | Documentary, Problem oriented | Director: Meelis Muhu

Meelis Muhu's documentary tells the story of the Soviet monument - the Bronze Soldier called Alyosha that was located in central Tallinn. The events around the monument culminated due to the dislocation of the monument in April 2007 and the following events called the Bronze Night when massive rioting and civil disorder took place on the streets of Tallinn.

For many Russian-speaking people, the Bronze Soldier was one of the few symbols left that connected them to Russia and Russian identity. Excerpts of archival material tell ...

As the chief inspector of Estonian defence army, Laigna positions himself between the attitudes of a soldier, a priest, a philosopher, a wizard, a king and an artisan while defining the world and himself.
