Russians Riot in Talinin.

Fredek's neighbours notice one morning that he's particularly cheerful. Several days later they see a similar mood on him, and when it happens even more so a third time they ask him why. "I had such a dream in the night", says Fredek, "the entire Chinese army came to within sight of Warsaw, stayed a day and went home again. Three times I had the same dream".

That, they say, sounds more ominous than pleasant, so why is he smiling so much?

"They travelled by way of Moscow", says Fredek. "Six times!".

The Soviet forces of World War Two weren't "people who died for" the Estonians, or the Latvians, or the Lithuanians, or the Poles. Those countries were en route for Berlin, that's all. This wasn't "the liberation of Estonia from Nazi occupation", this was a means to a goal.
