Aili Jõgi

[2][3] Aili Jõgi described why the two schoolgirls blew up a monument they considered a symbol of occupation and repression: "How long should we watch this red star, a memorial for Russian looters.

"[4]The newspapers did not report about the demolition and the local authorities managed to quickly restore the monument before Victory Day, but the majority of the inhabitants of Tallinn were aware of the incident.

Aili Jõgi was not a suspect initially, and continued to distribute flyers for the resistance movement with her classmates of a local high school.

She was finally arrested after having tried to find a doctor to treat a wounded forest brother, secretly held in a bunker, as someone mentioned the blasted monument during interrogations.

She was later found guilty as an under-aged terrorist and sent to a Gulag labor camp in the Komi-Zyryan ASSR, to the west of the Ural Mountains in the north-east of the East European Plain.
