Estonian ambassador to Russia leaves Moscow · 2007-05-04 18:30
Estonia's ambassador to Russia has left Moscow, calming a diplomatic crisis between the two former Soviet states sparked by the removal of a Communist-era war memorial.
The pro-Kremlin youth group Nashi simultaneously announced it was calling off its week-long, and at times violent, protests at the Estonian embassy in Moscow, which had drawn strong criticism from the European Union and NATO.
Last week Estonia moved a bronze statue of a Red Army soldier, revered by Russia as a symbol of its enormous human sacrifices in World War II against Nazi Germany, to a military cemetery and began uncovering the remains of 12 Soviet soldiers buried underneath it.
Nashi said on its website: "The fascist state's ambassador Marina Kaljurand has chosen from the two options proposed by Nashi ??“ to apologise or leave the territory of our country. She has chosen the latter."
It pledged to continue its campaign by seeking legal ways to have the Estonian embassy in Moscow demolished and moved to "a new place appropriate for this country", Sydney Morning Herald informs.
