The Memorial for the Estonian Victims of Communism is dedicated to all Estonian people who suffered under the terror inflicted by the Soviet Union from 1940 to 1991.

As a consequence of this, Estonia lost one of every five persons from its population of slightly over one million, of whom more than 75,000 were murdered, imprisoned or deported.

The Memorial has two parts – the Journey with the name plaques of the 22 000 victims, and the symbolic Home Garden with informative texts and location stones marking sites of terror.

A monument to Estonian military officers who fell victim to communist terror is part of the Memorial.
