Russia condemns funeral ceremony for Estonian SS veteran
Russia has sharply criticised Estonian authorities for granting a burial with full military honours to a decorated Nazi SS veteran who distinguished himself in combat against Soviet troops during World War II. Harald Nugiseks, the last surviving Estonian recipient of Nazi Germany's Knight's Cross, was buried on January 10 at the Estonian Soldiers Memorial Church in the city of Tori. The ceremony was attended by Brigadier General Meelis Kiili, commander of the Estonian Defense League, retired high-ranking military officers and local officials.
Rusija je oštro kritizirala vlast u Estoniji da je dozvolila pokop uz punu vojnu počast za odlikovanog SS veterana, koji se istakao u borbama pritiv Sovjetskih trupa u II. svjetskom ratu. Harald Nugiseks, posljednji preživjeli estonski dobitnik odlikovanja nacističke Njemačke, pokopan je 1o0.siječnja na memorijalu za estonske vojnike u gradu Tori. Ceremoniji je prisustvovao brigadni general Meelis Klili, komandant Estonske obrambene lige, uz vojne oficire i lokalne predstavnike..

"We regard the ceremonial burial of a Nazi criminal by the Estonian authorities as another example of a twisted interpretation by official Tallinn of historic realities of the Second World War and the tragic impact of the Nazi ideology on the fate of entire nations," said Konstantin Dolgov, Russia's ombudsman for human rights. "It is a deeply amoral mockery of the memory of millions of people of many nationalities who were brutally murdered during the war by the Nazis and their henchmen like Nugiseks," Dolgov said in a statement posted on the Foreign Ministry's website on Tuesday.
