Tallin was originally a medevil city with a walled city and mote. As we pulled into the harbor it lloked like 2 cities--one very old and one modern side by side. We walked inside the walled city and saw the house that was used by the KGB during the russian occupancy of Tallin. The guide told chilling stories, but one I found particularly poignant. When they were looking at a box of her grandmothers old pictures they noticed that some had small pieces cut out--it was where there had been a picture of the Estonian flag. She worried if they came to her house and searched and found the pictures it would have been grounds for imprisonment.
