Estonia to display poster of Putin as Adolf Hitler on Victory Day

Details: Since 2023, the Narva Museum has been displaying posters on its walls labelling Putin a war criminal.

Last year, the poster featured the so-called Putler image – a portrait merging Putin and Hitler into a single figure.

"The poster will be displayed on the flag tower of Narva Castle on May 9, Europe Day, as a reminder of the war that is currently ongoing and of Russia's war crimes against the Ukrainian people," said Narva Museum Director Maria Smorževskihh-Smirnova.

Estonian Foreign Minister Margus Tsahkna welcomed the initiative.

"Putler returns. On 9 May, Narva Museum in Estonia will once again display a poster calling Vladimir Putin what he is – a war criminal," he wrote on X (Twitter).

Background:

• Earlier reports said Berlin plans to ban Soviet, Russian and Belarusian flags on 8-9 May.
• Slovak Prime Minister Robert Fico is expected to visit Moscow on 9 May and meet Putin, though he will not attend the Victory Day military parade.
