Soviet Statue graveyard
Shhhh ..... It's a secret!
Between Tallinn and the TV Tower (Teletorn) is a small musuem at the top of a small hill, if you get there early or on a Sunday you can quietly make your way to the back of the complex and there are some abandoned Soviet statues.
When Germany was unified they decided to bury theirs under tonnes of earth; Lithuania have gathered theres together to form a really interesting park, and there is a similar park in Moscow, but I think Estonia just wanted them out of the way but were unsure of what to do with them so they sit at the back of the musuem.
There are couple of complete Lenin's and a giant Lenin head; there is even Stalin is there but it all appears to have been to much for him and he's having a lie down!
