Tere! Here in Finland we just heard that the Russians are destroying our war burials in the old Karelian side, close to the border.
Just wanted to ask if they doing something same near the Estonian borders? (Will delete/move the post if it breaks the rules.)
Edit: I was talking about news that came out today. My apologies for not being more clear. And yeah, they've been doing the same shit more and more lately. Thank you all for the answers!

Haven’t heard about anything like that happening here

Local russians usually stick to destroying their own neighborhoods in drunken shenanigans and don’t really have any clue where Estonian memorials are.
I think the Finnish news is that Russians are destroying memorials at “their” side of the border.
I don’t know if any such places (Estonian-related war memorials in Russia) exist at all.

The old Estonian villages on the Russian side of the border are all long gone, together with the churches, graveyards. There was nothing left to destroy like, 50 years ago already.
The remains of the Anton Õunapuu memorial in Pitalova should be returned to Estonia, but obviously as long as the huilo sits on his throne of skulls there will be no say about this. Maybe put the pieces in the Okkupatsioonimuuseum?
Not estonian, but iirc there were many cases of them destroying great famine and holocaust memorials in occupied ukraine as well as desecrating burials
Sadly yes:
