The facade of Jõgevamaa Gymnasium displays bas-reliefs dedicated to five prominent writers: Maxim Gorky, Vissarion Belinsky, Aleksandr Pushkin, Eduard Vilde, and Friedrich Reinhold Kreutzwald. While the front of the hoone celebrates literary figures, a notable contrast exists on the rear exterior. This side features a five-pointed star and the Cyrillic letters “CCCP,” an abbreviation representing the USSR. This juxtaposition of cultural heritage with overt political symbolism has become a point of discussion among local authorities and property owners. The current custodians of the educational facility, Riigi Kinnisvara AS (RKAS), along with the Ministry of Education and Science, are currently evaluating options regarding the symbols. Specifically, discussions center on whether to cover or completely remove the Soviet-era markings. The presence of the viisnurk and the acronym cccp on the structure raises questions about the appropriate historical representation on public educational property. Educational institutions often navigate the challenge of balancing historical commemoration with contemporary national identity. The proposed actions suggest a review of the building’s external presentation to align it with modern educational standards and public sentiment. The decision to modify or preserve the existing symbols will involve balancing architectural history, literary tribute, and evolving socio-political guidelines for public buildings in Estonia.

It’s interesting how the facade celebrates literary figures while the back presents a different kind of display. Reply
What is the significance of displaying both literary figures and the acronym for the USSR on the school building? Reply
