The Soviet concession was. indeed. not forever. Russian Communists continued throughout the 21 years of Estonian independence to try to undermine the government through espionage and underground activities. The advent of World War II enabled the Soviet Union to reoccupy Estonia. terminating Its brief historical respite from foreign subjugation. In order to solidify its control over Estonia the Soviet Union has resorted to mass deportations and terrorist techniques. Our hearts go out today to the Estonian people who have withstood such cruel suffering and who have retained an indomitable spirit. We add our prayers to theirs for their liberation from Soviet enslavement.
