By order of the Tallinn City Government, a total of €50,000 will be allocated from the city government's reserve fund to support earthquake victims in Turkey and Syria.

The Tallinn City Government has allocated €5,870 from its reserve fund to the Estonian Heritage Society (Eesti Muinsuskaitse Selts) for supporting events commemorating the 80th anniversary of the March Bombing. The society has been organizing memorial events on March 9th in Tallinn since 1989, honoring the victims of the bombing.

This Saturday, March 9, marks the 80th anniversary of the Soviet Air Force's air raid on Tallinn. Led by the Estonian Heritage Society, several commemorative events will be held in the city to honor this solemn anniversary.

The Tallinn City Government has proposed to the City Council that the anniversary of the March 9 bombing during World War II be declared a memorial day in Tallinn. On this day, city institutions will raise both the Estonian and city flags at half-mast, while the district administrations will also lower their respective district flags to half-mast as mourning flags.

The City Government is preparing for the preliminary work on a memorial for the victims and participants of the 1944 Great Escape.
