#October: a nice month... and a nice wide road for any number of tanks to thunder in from the east... Road steamrollered across #Lasnamäe under #Soviet influence as #OktoobriProspekt (parkway or avenue) in 1977, becoming #Laagna in 1992.

in 1972 for “recognizing the special merits for Tallinn in the revolutionary movement in the struggle for the #SovietPower, for gaining outstanding results in the economical and cultural work” (sic). Odd, why they keep it, tho: Eestalgia?...
