Estonia's ethnic Russians mark Victory Day peacefully

Ethnic Russians marked the Second World War victory over the Nazis in peaceful celebrations today, nearly two weeks after Estonia was rocked by violent protests when the government moved a Red Army monument from central Tallinn.

Fearing unrest, police blocked off the square from which the Bronze Soldier statue was removed on April 27, sparking the worst riots the Baltic country had seen since breaking away from the Soviet Union in 1991.
