You left one important question unanswered. Have the tombstones really
existed in reality? I have never heard about them before.

Sorry, Erkki, I read your question in context of another, Karelian
case :-) How much I remember there was a table with list of names on
the wall behind the monument. There was 13 names on the table but
actually 12 was buried - don't know how it happens.

Is this discrepancy soooooo important? Why have Estonian authorities
suddenly started making so much noise about it some 60 years after the
burial? Is this done out of genuine concern for accounting for the
dead soldiers or as a clumsy and indecent excuse for moving their
graves?

Hardly it is very important - it was wartime, no time to count
everything, I think.
Nor one, nor else. Monument was moved to stop ww3 mongers to disturb
peace in city center.

I think it's just a half of solution. I think now you should move the
city center itself.

VM.

Well city center is moving, a new "center" is growing from glass and
aluminium few kilometers notheast. But despite all attempts, real
hearth of Tallinn is Old City, built 1200-1400. Mankind has forgot how
to build places people really love to walk.
