Kaheksa kellalööki : [jutustus]

"Kaheksa kellalööki" is from the newspaper "Eesti Sõna" in 1943. the award-winning work of the novel competition, which was published as a sequel in the same paper. The story deals acutely with the political situations of high school seniors and the lives of the residents of a small town in Southern Estonia since the Soviet army marched into Estonia in the spring of 1940 - the day when you can no longer leave Tallinn or the country, when an undisguised and hidden struggle between two morals, two worldviews, begins. between two mentalities, two regimes. The citizens of the small country have been democratic, law-abiding, respectful of fellow human beings, raised with basically biblical ethical attitudes. All this is not suitable for a great power, from which lands, bases, power, goods, buildings were obtained, from which for those who come, the local person is only a tool or - if not suitable for a tool - an enemy that must be destroyed.
