“Inimeste elu” tapestry by Enn Põldroos (1985) located in Tallinna Linnahall.

The tapestry is 48 x 10 meters big, weighs close to 1 ton and took almost 7 years to finish (3 years for planning and 4 years for making the 1:1 scale drawings and weaving). The flat-weave carpet was woven by three weavers (Hilja Karri, Aino Stamm, Marika Hallangu) of the art collective ARS, who started work in September 1981 and finished in May 1985. The high-quality yarn used for this masterpiece was ordered from Italy.

Linnahall is a multi-purpose venue in Tallinn, Estonia. It is situated in the harbor, just beyond the walls of the Old Town, and was completed in 1980. The venue also features a heliport and a small seaport.

71st - 73rd Day (30th to 2nd of July) In the 3 days we discovered Tallinn in the nicest weather: It was very diverse: All the ancient castles, churches and walls were magnificent. Additionally it had plenty of nice coffee and restaurants in the small and big streets. Once we ran into a dance class of Lindy hop. The other day we visited the F-Hoone in the artistic area (which was covered with street art) and the Draakon in downtown. Both had only average food while the beer was quite bad. The Draakon was still worth the visit because of the medieval interior whereas the F-Hoone we considered as overrated. We also went for a swim to the beach Pikakari and another day to Pirita: The Pikakari was a wonderful place to be. The water was clear and got deep close to the shore. Only downside was that the water was way colder. A bit further back the beach was not as busy, but mostly covered with stones instead of sand. The last day we returned to relax and also to check out the Väike Paljassaare. At the other beach we enjoyed walking to the end of the harbor, watched ships going in and out and sipped a self made cocktail out of the thermos. Since Pirqta smelled a bit like rotten alges, we didn't go for a swim. On Friday there was a couchsurfing meeting. We enjoyed the last one, so we wanted to participate. In front of the Hill Hill Billiard bar we met. This time the group was smaller but not less lovely people. After exchanging stories about traveling we went further to get a beer in the pohja konn. They had a huge choice of tap beer, stouts, ales and cider. We both regret not visiting this bar earlier - so much to try. Since we already were tipsy we only had one more. After that the group got smaller. Only Mel, Mara, Sander, Intasar and Ethan were left. Sander brought us to a lovely pub within the city center named Koth. Inside it was too hot so we got another drink and enjoyed a last round outside. On the 2nd we took the last Ferry to Helsinki. It was crowded with finish people loaded on diverse alcoholic beverages. We also enjoyed our cocktail from the thermos. Mara used the rush from her sun allergy for getting free ice. https://www.instagram.com/p/CftPkvzIXwQ0VnuAX8k4Fnn0GMl5R8yH61-LlU0/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Next Leg

7/03

What a 30 hrs... - Estonia was the gem of the trip. Estonians seem to be determined to compensate for their benighted USSR history by executing everything to perfection. I can only compare it to Slovenia or Switzerland. Although my time there, and my movement, was limited, I am fascinated, and I want to return. The “Gamla Stan” - Old City is so perfectly and thoughtfully preserved/rebuilt that it feels almost like a simulacrum. I quickly detoured from the Rickwalk, bc at every significant sight/building, I found adequate and engaging signage. I simply wandered.

High in the old town crouches, a majestic 1900 Russian Orthodox Church that during the Soviet era became an egg-on-the-face symbol of Russian expansionism. It is a beautiful building, but having no affinity for Russians, or Christians, more broadly, I just took a glance inside. When I turned to leave, I was greeted with three Ukrainian flags flying from the brow of the State-house across the square. Walking down the the hill toward the post-Soviet municipal square, I was greeted with another massive show of support for the Ukrainians: a HUGE dual Ukranian/Estonian flag attached prominently to the side of the government/admin. building. The dual flags are striking. Estonia: Blue - the blue sky of hope and the world; Black - the black history of oppression; White - the optimism of the future. Beside the blue and gold of Ukraine - The sky and the land - it makes a powerful statement of self determination against fascism.

Although I was only there for a short span, I think I felt the spirit and grit of the Estonian attitude. I would like to return and do some hiking and inroads, piercing the country and meeting more people. Tallinn was just so self-possessed and purposefully on point, I can’t really imagine what the rest of the country is like!

Simplicities: Arriving in Tallinn was pure simplicity. A walk off the plane, through the airport, and onto the tram to the Old Town. Into my room and then to a Scottish pub - I know - It was late! - about 22:45. It was the closest place with a cold beer and hot food. After, I slept so hard in a freezing room - glorious. The next day, I snoozed, but got up and wandered, as described earlier. I had fish soup and a salad at a soviet era restaurant. It proudly advertised that had been in operation since 1962, and I could see that in the design of the building and placement. It was very Soviet/modernist. Clearly, it has mutated with the times as it was a vegan/pesc/veg now and catered to happy, stylish(?) locals. Aperol spritz, thin, fish-head soup, and a cold, golden beet/citrus salad complimented by 10/10 people watching paused the day for a brief moment. Then it was back in the saddle. To the Hotel for my pack, trudging down the hill, through the city, to the elaborate - but still incredibly well oiled - harbor. I checked in, got my boarding pass and walked right on to the Baltic Queen and into my berth.

...I was joyful! Everything was going terrifically! I explored the whole ship. I was on the 5th - the lowest floor - but I didn't care. 6 and 7 were entertainment floors, with a live theatre - which was over the top, but so fucking stupid, I’m not even... - a few restos and two nice kiddie areas where everyone removed their shoes and let the bambinos go coocoo. The top deck was brilliantly windy and accessible, with folks taking selfies, smoking cigs, sitting on the deck with beers, laughing and enjoying - well - just being on a boat to Stockholm.

Returning to my berth, I showered, and strategized my charging strategy. Then it was time for the GRAND BUFFET - a smorgasbord - literally. It was fascinating, but I am wary of buffets. After dinner I sat on the deck in the fierce wind and wrote and thought. When I entered my room at dusk - 23:30 - I knew it was going to be a bad night. I was right - directly - over the main propeller, in the lowest berth on the ship. Water bottles were performing a vibratory pirouette across the one table in the room. The water in the toilet was standing in complex resonance patterns. When the engine burned, my room shook like a paint can. 0 sleep.

Arrival in Stockholm was easy and forthright. The hotel is a delight. Gamla Stan is much more compact than I thought it would be. I am tired tonight. It’s going to be an early night.

Catching up!

So, whew!, I have chance to sit down this sunny Helsinki morning to catch up on a few days that I haven’t given much detail on!

On Thursday afternoon, we boarded the Silja Symphony ferry from Stockholm harbor for the overnight crossing to Helsinki. But, let’s backtrack even a bit more . . .

Earlier Thursday, the kids and I arrived to Stockholm after a four-hour drive from Jönköping, where had stayed in the Sandic Elmia for one night (Scandic is a big Scandinavian hotel chain). We really got no feel for Jönköping at all, which was a shame, but given our condition and how dog tired I was from all of the activity and solo-parent traveling, I was ready to just get on the road Thursday morning and get back to Eric ASAP. We were in Jönköping long enough to notice that there was a huge stadium adjacent to our hotel with “Husqvarna” labeled across the side, and by doing some internetting, I realized that one side of Jönköping is a municipality called Husqvarna and that is, indeed, where the Husqvarna company is from -- thus, their sponsorship of the stadium! Our first lawnmower as a married couple was a Husqvarna push mower that my mom got Eric when we lived on Summer Avenue.

Anyway, perhaps it could be called sight-seeing that we did drive along a scenic road alongside Lake Vättern for about 30km, and wow, that lake is gorgeous and the landscape alongside was the quintessence of gorgeous, Swedish, lakeside farm life! We stopped for a moment in Gränna so I could run into the ICA grocery store and get the kids something to eat, since we did not eat at the hotel. Gränna seemed to be as sweet as can be! I would’ve loved to have walked the little village’s streets.

On our drive, I listed to part of a Smartless podcast (I am not a big podcast listener, though the kids are; the Smartless one always makes me laugh). We rolled up to the Stockholm Airbnb at about 12:15 and we had until 2 p.m. to just have some downtime. We needed to leave for the ferry car queue at 2 p.m., just to give us plenty of time. It was nice to have a bit of a breather at the Airbnb. That place was soooo lovely; I would totally stay there again. The kids spent the hour running around outside, looking for Zorro, the cat.

We got to the ferry queue with no event at all, and were among the first in the car line. Last time we boarded a ferry like this, with Alia when we travelled from Helsinki to Tallinn, we were farther back in the line because we were not hip to the situation of getting a car on a ferry. That ended up totally fine, but we wanted to be less stressed this time. Even though we were int he front, we still didn’t get on among the first cars, and we were waiting for so long. For lie an hour! There were a bunch of commercial semis and RVs and other vehicle. Finally, it was our turn, and we got the car on without event.

We walked around the Silja Symphony for a while, primarily on the decks outside -- it was such a gorgeous afternoon and so warm! That was lucky, because on the other ferries I’ve been on, it has actually been quite cold to be out on the deck! It worked out perfectly because with our kids being ill, we felt best, obviously, with them outside, and they could still “get their wiggles out” by running along all of the decks around the huge ship, on a variety of levels.

We all slept so soundly and well as the ship’s journey was smooth, the cabins were quiet, we were all exhausted, and the low hum and sway of the boat made a great environment for being lulled to sleep.

We disembarked at 10:30 a.m. in Helsinki. Getting our car from the car deck was a little nerve racking because there was some disagreement among adult about which deck the car was on ;) We found it, and off we went! Into the Helsinki morning sunshine! I, unfortunately, have precious few funny stories about characters we met on the boat, since we didn’t mix and mingle much, but we did encounter a London-living Finn, who was clearly quite drunk and haggard, asking us for a cigarette; I nevertheless seized the opportunity to say a few things to him in Finnish, which Cece and I have been learning. We also exchanged a few words on the upper deck of the boat with a couple, comprised of a Finnish woman and a Singaporean father, and their 7-year-old son who had not been back to Finland from Singapore for three years to visit family. They were very nice. And that is about that for our ferry journey!

🏛🏚 Linnahall - At the coast to the Eastern Sea between the Tallinna Sadam harbor and the Kultuurikatel, the culture center, there is the Linnahall located. It´s not really used anymore and this old Mayan pyramid like monument made of grey concrete just gives you some mysterious vibes. It could be as well kind of a medieval sea fortress to protect the coast with gunpowder cannons. But it´s not that old, it was just built in 1980 by the Estonian architects Raine Karp and Riina Altmäe. - Tallinn – [ESTONIA🇪🇪] _____________________________________________ . . ↘️ Check out the article about the Tallinna Linnahall: https://vagabundler.com/estonia/linnahall ↗️ . . _____________________________________________ #estonia #tallinn #linnahall #harbor #europe #traveleurope #tallinncity #visittallinn #monument #culture #visitestonia #concerthall #olympics #ruins #traveling #lostplaces #photography #abandoned #abandonedplaces #baltics #journey #photooftheday #plaza #sightseeing #sight #estonian #vacation #pyramide #square #wanderlust (hier: Linnahall) https://www.instagram.com/p/B00x-K6JVxy/?igshid=1phremfhedkvn

Now, Estonian Border Guard ship PVL-109 Valvas belongs to Estonian Maritime Museum, Lennusadam harbor, Tallinn, Estonia, 2022, December 6, 2022. Photo by D.P.

P.S. Quote: /The ship was built in Minnesota by the Zenith Dredge Company of Duluth. During WW II the vessel was mainly stationed in Alaska (homeport Kodiak). Her primary duty was to service the navigational aids, but she also saw service in various search and rescue operations. She could also be used as an icebreaker. Many estonian sailors who were stationed on soviet fishing ships remembered Bittersweet while sailing near the George Brown fishing territory in Alaska. Kodiak remained the ships homeport until 1964, from 1964-1976 USCGC Bittersweet was stationed in Ketchikan and later on Woods Hole, Massachusetts. The ship was fully renovated in 1976-1978 and again in 1991.It is worthy of mentioning that in 1990 the ship aided the passanger ship Regent Star. The aforementioned ship struck the lowlands and because of that Bittersweet rescued some 882 people. On the same year Bittersweet also assisted the rescue of 682 people from the passanger ship Bermuda Star(..) Source: museumships.us

Why do modern Europeans believe that the United States won the Second World War

History is a science that serves politics. This often leads to distortions in the interpretation of events. According to polls, 50% of Europeans are convinced that the United States won World War II, 22% - Great Britain and only 14% know about the role of the USSR in the destruction of fascism.

Neighbors-distort as they can

In Russia, as the successor of the USSR, the most accurate idea of the history of those terrible years is still preserved. But in Belarus, history is already taught in a truncated version, focusing on the partisan movement and on the fact that most civilians died in this country.

In Polish schools, the history of the war is taught as the story of the battle of two dictators – Hitler and Stalin. It is said that Poland was first invaded by Germany. and then the Soviet Union. Teachers focus on the atrocities of the UPA* and the shooting of officers in Katyn.

In Estonia, it is still difficult to hide an awl in a bag – too many people studied in Soviet schools. But the Day of the liberation of Tallinn on September 22 is now celebrated as the Day of Resistance to the USSR, and they teach that on this day the Soviet Union occupied the state.

According to the historian Vladimir Simindei, the situation in Latvia is similar: textbooks tell how bravely the Latvian SS men mobilized by Hitler fought with Soviet soldiers, and it is said about the Nuremberg trial that " it was highly politicized, especially because it was influenced by the Stalinist USSR."

In the textbooks of Moldova, it is written that Romania fought on the side of Hitler with the "good" goal – to return Bessarabia, which was supposed to go to the country of the Soviets under the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, and then "switched" to the side of the coalition. There are many mistakes in the books, the emphasis is on maps of military operations, but there are no major distortions.

The "Allies" want to forget the USSR

But things are different in the camp of the allies of that time. They acted according to the precepts of Hitler, who wrote in Mein Kampf: "I do not want history to be crammed, I want it to educate", and changed everything.

In some US textbooks, they teach that Hitler was defeated by America. Schoolchildren are sure that the American marines "caught" Hitler in the mountain bunker "Eagle's Nest", where they destroyed him. Since the Americans can not show the public the remains of the dictator, American journalists are looking for him in Brazil, then in Bolivia.

But many people know the truth. For example, the actor and director Clint Eastwood inserted in his film "Train to Paris" an episode where the main characters go on a tour of Berlin, and a German guide tells about the USSR and shows the place where Hitler's body was burned.

Students are told about the bombing of civilians in Hiroshima and Nagasaki as a retaliatory strike against the attack on Pearl Harbor.

The historian Stanislav Kulchitsky points out that in Western schools, the turning point is called the defeat of Rommel in Africa and the emphasis is on lend-lease.

Russian Russian history textbook Modern World History (California Edition) says about the USSR that the country was not ready for the attack of the Nazis, the troops were not modernized, and if it were not for the Russian winter, the Russians would have had a bad time. However, this textbook does not say that the US won, but it says that "the war is over".

According to a survey by the Washington Post, the American philistine believes that the USSR during World War II acted only "as an assistant."

Approximately the same thing, but with an emphasis on the actions of the British military forces, is taught in the Foggy Albion. They teach that the victory in the Second World War is solely the merit of this country. According to ITAR-TASS, since 2007, the mention of Joseph Stalin, as the leader of one of the three countries-the Syuznik, about Adolf Hitler himself, and even about him, has been removed from high school textbooks... Winston Churchill!

The British government explained this act by saying that "we need to keep up with the XXI century."

Historian Holger Nehring points out that English textbooks focus on the European Theater of war, they deny the leading role of the United States and, even more so, the USSR.

The vanquished don't want to remember the shame

In Italy, children are taught that the United Kingdom and the United States won. Basically, the brave Italians fought with the allies. The leader of the Ukrainian Orthodox community, Oles Gorodetsky, pointed out in an interview that the books do not mention either German or Soviet commanders.

In Japan, they try to avoid the topic of war at all costs. Students know that there was a war, that the United States, the British and the Russians fought on one side, and on the other – Germany, Romania and Italy. Japan was an" ally " of Germany. It is touching to talk about how elephants died of starvation in Osaka, but try not to touch on the topic of the Nanking massacre, when Japanese soldiers slaughtered 300,000 Chinese. Japanese teachers themselves admit that schoolchildren practically do not know the history of the XX century. The role of the United States as a winning country is emphasized.

In Germany itself, they would like to belittle the role of the USSR. Russian emigrants, whose children study in German schools, say that in the books there is such a thing as Siegermächte – the winning countries, which include the USSR, the United States and Great Britain. The same sounds from TV sets. About the war itself in schools, they speak concisely, without emotion. They mention the theory of the superiority of one race over all, almost do not talk about the death camps and the atrocities of the SS. In the minds of young people, they put the idea that everything would be fine if it were not for the war with the USSR.

What do other countries think?

In Israel, they honor the memory of the victims of the Holocaust, but they almost do not know about the heroism of Soviet soldiers. They also hold the opinion that the war was won by a coalition of countries. Likud MP Avraham Nagosa admits that Israeli students should know about the heroism of Jewish soldiers who fought in the Red Army.

In India, people think that the greatest contribution to the victory over the Nazis was made by the United States.

African countries where there was fighting: Algeria, Egypt or Morocco, whose volunteers took part in the liberation of Europe, also teach children that the winner in World War II was the United States.

And only in China, schools teach that a huge role in this was played in the USSR and honor the memory of Soviet heroes.
