I was sent an interesting article this morning mentioning the incident when Soviet soldiers slaughtered over 100 horses at Kopli cemetery when they retreated in September 1941. Why did they do it? Who knows, the Soviet committed so many senseless acts of violence. One thing is for sure however, Soviets had little regard for the living and left a trail of destruction in their wake.
