Deportation memorial unveiled at Pääsküla station, 14 June 1991

Juuniküüditamise mälestuskivi avamine Pääsküla jaama juures, 14. juuni 1991

On 14 June 1941 about ten thousand people were deported from Estonia to Russia in cattle wagons. Exactly fifty years later, two months before Estonia regained independence, a memorial stone to them was unveiled beside Pääsküla station in southern Tallinn. Hubert Veldermann's short report records the ceremony, an interview with one of those present, and a speech by theologian Voldemar Ilja. The stone still stands by the railway.

Eesti keeles

14. juunil 1941 küüditati Eestist loomavagunites Venemaale umbes kümme tuhat inimest. Täpselt viiskümmend aastat hiljem, kaks kuud enne iseseisvuse taastamist, avati neile Tallinna lõunaosas Pääsküla jaama juures mälestuskivi. Hubert Veldermanni lühike reportaaž jäädvustab tseremoonia, intervjuu ühe kohalviibijaga ja teoloogiamagister Voldemar Ilja sõnavõtu. Kivi seisab raudtee ääres tänini.
