Bronze Night aftermath, Nochnoi Dozor members meeting with Peeter Ernits, the chairman of Estonian Journalists' Union. In Tallinn 22.01.2009. In Russian. Ernits says that he has personal tie to the bronze statue. The author of the statue was his neighbour, Enn Karlovich (Roos), as he was called, was everyday guest at his house. He is good friend to the elder daughter of the author, Linda Roos. She told that it is not an Alyosha but "Sõdur Sass" (Soldier Sass-Alexander), the name that was used by the author. His model was an Estonian. It is strange where did the name Alyosha come from. It appeared some years before the removal of the statue. Ernits tells that every year he counted the people who gathered near the statue and the officials didn't like the numbers. Dozor member describes how one of the remnants of those buried near the statue was dug out some years before. But this action was stopped after the Jewish community reacted as this was an old burial ground of Jews. There is a question how many TV-cameras were put up in the city before the Bronze Night and who were the Estonian guys with bags full of stones, who came to "assist" the Russian rally. And why didn't the policemen react to the mass destruction. Ernits tells that he has heard stories about a black bag filled with stones. There is a question, why didn't the prosecutors use the cctv cameras that were all around the city and fixed the faces of those who firsthand broke the windows. Ernits says that this is news to him. A dozor member says that Dmitri Ganin, who was murdered that night, wasn't found on the videotapes, although the cameras pointed at him. Another dozor member tells that some of the arrested guys were taken to Tartu and were severely beaten, until they "confessed" that (Dmitri) Linter and (Maxim) Reva were the organisers of the Bronze Night. Those guys were so severely beaten that their photos were not included in the case firsthand.
