Should symbols of past regimes be removed?

Estonia's president vetoed a law ped by parliament on Thursday to remove a Soviet-era Red Army monument from the capital Tallinn, a plan which had sparked strong Russian criticism. Parliament had given final approval to a bill requiring the government to move the bronze statue of a Red Army soldier to a cemetery. Russia said such a move would be 'an act of blasphemy'. Many Estonians see the monument as a symbol of 50 years of Soviet occupation.
