This monument, designed by Aleksander Eller and commemorating the Estonian victory over the Red Army Latvian Riflemen in the Battle of Tähtvere on 14 January 1919, was unveiled on 3 July 1932. It was demolished in 1940, but restored in 1942. After the war, the Soviet regime had the monument completely destroyed and eventually replaced, in 1957, with a bust of Hans Heidemann, a figure in the workers' and trade union movement. Restoration of the monument was proposed by Enn Tarto, and it was unveiled anew at its original site on 2 July 2006.
