, 8 May 1946, Estonian teens Aili Jürgenson and Ageeda Paavel blew up a Soviet war memorial in response to Soviet destruction of Estonian war memorials. They served eight years in the gulag as punishment. In 1988 they were awarded the Estonian Order of the Cross of the Eagle to recognise their fight.

We only have a photo of Aili Jürgenson.

@CarveHerName 1931 is, I'm assuming, her DOB. So that would've made her... 15?

@CarveHerName Also worth noting, "Since the fall of the Soviet Union, Jõgi (née Jürgenson) was politically active in the Estonian Pro Patria party. In that capacity, she took part in round table talks with opponents of the removal of the Bronze Soldier (soviet war memorial) in 2007." - wikipedia
