On the museum's opening day, June 27, President Rüütel was on a working visit to France and, therefore, could not attend the opening ceremony of the museum. The President today extended his gratitude to all the initiators of the museum, in the first place, Dr. Olga Kistler-Ritso, and wished the researches and preservers of the Estonian recent history much strength.
