Last Saturday, Mart Sander's historic documentary "Tallinn in Flames" (Tallinn leekides) had its world premier at the 7th Tbilisi International Documentary Festival and received the Audience Choice Award. The film tells the story of the fateful night of March 9, 1944, when the Soviet Air Force dropped over 800 tons of explosive and incendiary bombs on Tallinn.

Today we celebrate 108 years since the Republic of Estonia was founded on the enduring principles of freedom, democracy, and rule of law. Throughout our history, Estonians have faced challenges with resilience and determination. Our independence, once lost and regained, reminds us that freedom cannot be taken for granted. It must be protected, strengthened, and passed on to future generations.
On this day Estonians around the world will gather to celebrate the birthday of our beloved republic. Never in our history have we been more successful as a nation than we are today. Ilusat vabariigi aastapäeva, armas Eesti!
