Traces of Empire: Mechanical Pollution

The opening scene of the documentary marks the territories in Estonia where the military objects dating back to the era of Soviet occupation were located. Usually these were built in beautiful natural places near lakes and rivers. According to 1991, about 1565 military objects (covering the area of about 871 km2) were used by the Soviet army in Estonia that makes 2% of the whole territory of the state. Today most buildings have been destructed by accidental looters and natural forces.
