Rear of the iconic building displaying the Soviet star on the corner of Liivalaia and Tartu maantee from Lastekodu, Tallinn.

‘leading #Stalinist in #SovietEstonian drama’ and, later, head of the #Presidium of the #ESSRSupremeSoviet. The poverty he describes made him a hard line #Communist and implacable opponent of soft socialist #FriedebertTuglas (see #VäikeseIllimari). The #Luthers just did something constructive.
