• Putin criticises Estonia over war memorial

The Russian president, Vladimir Putin, has criticised Estonia's decision to relocate a Soviet era war memorial. The move led to a bitter diplomatic row between the two countries.
Репортаж корр. Би-би-си Джеймса Роджерса
Thousands of troops had assembled on Red Square to mark what many in Russia consider the Soviet UNIОN's greatest achievement - the defeat of Nazi Germany. Mr Putin used his speech to condemn those whom Russia accuses of insulting that memory . He said there were those today who were trying to diminish what he called 'this invaluable experience.' He said they were desecrating monuments to war heroes. It was a clear reference to Estonia. Russia has reacted furiously to the recent relocation of a Soviet era war memorial in Tallinn.
Russia sees the Red Army as liberators from fascism. Many in Estonia see them as Soviet occupiers . A bitter diplomatic row continues. Mr Putin referred to this too, saying that those who he charged with belittling the Red Army's achievements were sowing discord and distrust between states and people.
