Is a statue of a Soviet soldier in military uniform. it is also sometimes mentioned as Aljosja statue was erected September 22, 1947 in central Tallinn to commemorate the  victory over Nazi Germany 1945.   

Russian is an incredibly beautiful language!
I have heard that there are words that can not be translated into other languages,
which is really interesting.  during Soviet times Russian was first or second language, many of the former Soviet states they are people who have Russian as their first language, and most understand the Russian language,
which means that Russian is an international language.

I wanted to write again about the Russian Cyrillic alfabetetet.
it is not only Russian, which uses the Cyrillic alphabet

Slavic languages (Belarusian, Bulgarian, Macedonian, Russian, Serbian, Ukrainian and Montenegrin, several non-Slavic languages mainly in the former Soviet Union (including Kazakh, Uzbek, Kyrgyz, Mongolian, Tajik, Turkmen and Kildin Sami language . The alphabet has been used previously multi-language, which switched alphabets, such as Azerbaijan and Moldova. Most of the languages have their own Cyrillic.


from Wikipedia

But i would say many letters are the same, even in the Greek alphabet
