The 20th August is a national holiday in Estonia. A day of celebration to mark the end of fifty dark years of Soviet occupation. During those grim years Estonians endured so much yet never gave up the hope of restoring independence one day. That day finally came on the 20th August 1991 when Estonians finally rid their country of Soviet rule. Estonians around the world rejoiced, waving the beloved sinimustvalge flag that was banned for so long. Head taasiseseisvumispäeva! Elagu Eesti!
