Monument to the War of Independence in Räpina
Räpina's memorial to the men who fell or went missing in the War of Independence was unveiled on 26 June 1927. In August 1945, under Soviet rule, it was smashed and its pieces were buried in the ground. They stayed hidden for more than forty years, until the fragments were dug up in February 1989, and that June, during the Räpina town days, the monument was unveiled for a second time. When the ground around it was tidied in 1934, workers turned up skeletons, 11th–12th-century coins and blades, so the hill was in use long before the monument.

Räpina mälestussammas Vabadussõjas langenud ja kadunuks jäänud meestele avati 26. juunil 1927. Augustis 1945 lõhuti see nõukogude võimu ajal puruks ja tükid maeti maha. Need püsisid peidus üle neljakümne aasta, kuni 1989. aasta veebruaris kaevati killud välja, ja sama aasta juunis, Räpina päevade ajal, avati sammas teist korda. Kui samba ümbrust 1934. aastal korrastati, leiti maast luukeresid ning 11.–12. sajandi münte ja terariistu – paik oli kasutusel ammu enne sammast.
