  • Estonian Partisans or the Forest Brothers in Estonia (Estonian: Metsavennad) were partisans who waged guerrilla warfare against the Soviet forces in Estonia from 1940 to 1941 and 1944–1978. As soon as the USSR occupied and annexed Estonia in 1940, former civilians, soldiers, and potential political opposition to the Kremlin were threatened with arrests and repression. More people began to seek refuge in the forest after the mass deportation on June 14, 1941. The largest organization of the Forest Brothers was the Armed Combat Union (RVL), which operated from 1946 to 1949. The most important leaders of the RVL fell in the summer of 1949. Johannes Lillenurm, the last released member of the RVL, died in Läänemaa in 1980. The biggest battles between the Forest Brothers and the KGB units ended in Estonia in 1953. Some battles continued to be fought until 1957. The last Forest Brothers alive were arrested in the summer of 1967 in Võru County, Hugo and Aksel Mõttus. The last of the fallen Forest Brothers was August Sabbe, who died in 1978. (en)

Эти партизаны называли себя «лесными братьями», поскольку скрывались, как правило, в лесах. В движении эстонских «лесных братьев» выделяют два этапа: первый — бои 1941 года с отступающими частями Советской армии (т. н. Летняя война) и второй — движение сопротивления в 1944–1953 годах. (ru)
