Namibian Elections 2004The authorities in Estonia say they have removed a contentious Red Army war memorial from the centre of the capital, Tallinn.
Memorial to Soviet soldiers in Tallinn, Estonia
The memorial has inspired violence between communities

The move follows violent clashes at the scene when police forced protesters away from the monument.

One person died and 44 people were injured during the protest, a government statement said.

The Russian government has said moving the memorial would be an insult to the soldiers who died during World War II.

Most Estonians view the Red Army as enforcers of Soviet oppression, correspondents say.

Thursday's clashes broke out as demonstrators - mostly ethnic Russians - tried to prevent police from dismantling the memorial and removing the remains of 14 Soviet soldiers to a cemetery.
