Communism

...is very much a dirty word in Estonia. Before you start quoting Das Kapital, be warned that you won’t find many people lamenting the ‘good old days’ of Soviet rule around here, not surprising when you consider the number of Estonians who wound up in Siberia or worse during that difficult chapter of the nation’s history. Practically all hammers and sickles vanished back in 1991. Visitors who are interested in the Soviet period can check out the Museum of Occupations, listed under What to see.
