The so-called denial-of-service attacks against Estonian websites began shortly after authorities moved a Bronze Soldier statue, commemorating Red Army soldiers killed during World War II, from Tallinn's centre to a cemetery outside the capital on April 27th.
Takozvani napadi uskraćivanja usluga na estonske internetske stranice započeli su ubrzo nakon što su vlasti 27. travnja iz središta Tallinna uklonile kip Brončanog vojnika, podignut u čast vojnika Crvene Armije poginulih u Drugom svjetskom ratu, i prebacile ga na groblje izvan glavnog grada.
