Tour Outline
The Soviet Tallinn Tour takes you outside of the Old Town to discover some hidden relics from the soviet period. On foot and on the local bus, we’ll show you some of the large soviet buildings, an imposing war memorial, and the hidden statues of former communist leaders. We’ll show you some of the buildings that played a key role in the major events of the occupation. You will also gain an insight into what everyday life was like for the citizens of Soviet Tallinn. You’ll see streets formerly named after Lenin and Stalin, and learn how the communist authorities tried to impose their rule through the town planning of Tallinn. You’ll also learn about massive building schemes that never came to fruition. The majority of the sights on this tour are missed by most tourists, which is a real shame because they are truly fascinating. The good news is that when you come on the Soviet Tallinn tour, we will have many of these places to ourselves
