TALLINN, February 2 (RIA Novosti's Nikolai Adashkevich) - The Estonian Union of Russian Compatriots and the Veteran Organizations' Union have appealed to the people of Estonia for doing their share in the burial of remains of Soviet soldiers who died for the liberation of Estonia from Nazis.
The EURC chairman Sergei Sergeev told RIA Novosti that the remains of thousands of soldiers who fell in combating Nazis still lie unburied in the territory of Estonia.
Trail-seekers discover especially many remains in north-eastern Estonia, where fierce battles between units of the Soviet army and Nazis happened near Narva in 1944.
Mr. Sergeev said that the remains of about 5,000 Soviet soldiers have been found here. Voluntary trail-seekers unearth them, put in plastic bags and keep them in cellars, garages and other places pending burial.
The funds-hungry unions have decided to collect money for the Memory bank account.
