This year marks the 105th anniversary of the Republic of Estonia, a nation that experienced foreign rule and subsequent repression following its establishment in 1918. Twenty-two years after gaining independence, Estonia was occupied by Soviet forces, leading to the forced deportation of numerous residents. The events resulted in significant loss of life.

Memorials throughout Estonia commemorate this period of historical trauma and honor the victims of the deportation.
