#Tulimuld was also the name of an expat (exile?) #Estonian media/culture magazine from 1950-1991. I’m sure there a symbolism in Estonia’s penchant for scorched earth references somewhere. See, e.g., #Aedvere.

#Tulimulla (Tulimuld)
Scorched earth. More in the slash-and-burn than military sense. Part of a land-clearing group of streets, see also #Tuki. #Tulimuld was also the name of an expat (exile?) #Estonian media/culture magazine from 1950-1991.
