According to the Treaty of Soviet military bases signed in 1939 the government of the Republic of Estonia allowed 25,000 soldiers of the Red Army to set up a base in the Estonian territory. The alliance treaties failed. President Konstantin Päts ordered his monument to be erected in Tahkuranna. World War II began.
In 1940 the Red Army brought 90, 000 more soldiers into Estonia. With the beginning of the Soviet occupation in June, Päts was taken to Siberia along with many industrialists, businessmen, high-ranking military officers, and bank managers. In the same year the German troops invaded Estonia. In 1945 the Soviet Union claimed itself the victor of the war and with a secret protocol of Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact Estonia was incorporated into the Soviet Union. Intellectuals were persecuted; the poet Heiti Talvik was arrested and died in Siberia in 1947; poet Betti Alver stayed in Estonia but was thrown out of the Writers' Union.
In 1956 Alver was reaccepted by the Union. In 1956 Konstantin Päts died in the Kalinin psychoneurology clinic. In 1966 the charges against Heiti Talvik were dropped due to the "lack of necessary elements of criminal offence". In 1989 Betti Alver died. On the day of her death in Tartu the monument of Konstantin Päts was reopened in Tahkuranna, Pärnu. Where do Estonian people go - to Tartu or to Pärnu?
Premiere on 28 November at Kuressaare City Theatre.
