The archaeological excavations uncovered 12 well-preserved caskets. The Bureau of Forensic Medicine of Estonia corroborated the remains of the 12 adult individuals who were buried at Tnismgi. On the basis of the DNA analysis, the remains of one skeleton uncovered in the caskets was confirmed as being female, and eleven were confirmed as being male. All of these 12 individuals were buried at the same time.
When compared, the positions of the remains and grave markers correspond to the burial positions shown in photographs dating to the time of original interment. Therefore, we can confidently assume that the recently exhumed remains found at Tnismgi belong to the twelve individuals buried there in 1945, according to a certificate commissioned by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and compiled in 2006, which also provides probable names for the individuals.
Estonia has always been committed to identifying the remains of the exhumed individuals, which can be achieved by comparing the DNA of the remains with those of close biological relatives. To this end, the DNA-profiles of the persons buried at Tnismgi have been forwarded to the Embassies of Russia and Ukraine in Tallinn.
Estonia is seeking Russias aid in providing the DNA profile of two close relatives for each of the exhumed individuals to complete the final DNA analysis. Estonia covered the expenses of collating and analysing these DNA profiles.
The Estonian Red Cross has been in contact with the Russian and Ukrainian Red Cross and has exchanged relevant information with these organisations.
To date, Estonia has delivered three of the exhumed remains to relatives.
The exhumed remains of Cpt. Aleksei Brjantsev excavated at Tnismgi were the first remains of the 12 Soviet soldiers to be delivered to the relatives. The DNA analysis of Cpt. Aleksei Brjantsevs son and granddaughter corroborated their kinship with Cpt. Aleksei Brjantsev. The reburial service of the remains of Cpt. Aleksei Brjantsev was held on 15th of June in Gukovo, Rostov District in Russia.
The collating of the DNA analysis of the sister of Lt. Vassili Volkov corroborated her kinship with her brother. The exhumed remains of Lt. Vassili Volkov were delivered to his sister on the 21st of June.
The reburial service of the exhumed remains of Red Army Lt. Vassili Volkov was held on the 26th June in Russia, near the memorial to victims of WW II in the Tver District in the centre of Kashin.
The collating of the DNA-test of Mr. Vladimir Parnes corroborated the kinship of the Chief of the Medical Service, Mrs. Jelena Varshavskaja, with the former, her cousin. On the 28th of June, the exhumed remains of Mrs. Jelena Varshavskaja were delivered to Mr. Parnes.
A preliminary DNA-test was run on the 29th of June, which revealed the identity of a fourth soldier of the Red Army buried at Tnismgi. Two male relatives of Staff Sergeant Stepan Hapikalo ran a preliminary DNA-test, which matched the DNA-profile of the remains of one of the soldiers that Estonia has forwarded to Ukraine.
The relatives of Staff Sergeant Stepan Hapikalo have been extended an invitation to visit Estonia to complete the final DNA analysis; therefore, his remains will not be buried at the EDF cemetery together with the rest of the eight exhumed remains excavated at Tnismgi burial site.

Первым шагом в этом направлении является гармонизация законодательства о рынках электричества стран Балтии на основе рыночных принципов Северных стран. Это означает упрощение оперирования на рынке и придание ему прозрачности. «В данный момент созданию соединений препятствуют особенности регуляций рынка электричества стран Балтии, например, разные принципы импорта электричества из третьих государств», – сказал Ансип. Конкретный план действий специалисты трех государств разработают в следующем году.
На встрече было отмечено, что в интересах всех трех балтийских государств должно быть по возможности быстро готово подсоединение к Северным странам – Estlink 2 и прокладка кабеля между Швецией и странами Балтии. «Эти подсоединения дадут дополнительные возможности, которые помогут избежать возможного дефицита электричества во всем регионе», – сказал Ансип.
Премьер-министры подтвердили также продолжение проекта новой АЭС в Литве. «Считаем необходимым, чтобы строительство новой атомной электростанции развивалось ускоренными темпами», – сказал Ансип, по словам которого такие существенные с точки зрения проекта решения, как выбор реакторов, принимаются всеми партнерами сообща. Ансип все же добавил, что Эстония взвесит все возможности электроснабжения Эстонии, в том числе строительство собственной АЭС.
По вопросам оборонного сотрудничества сочли существенным принятие единых принципов решения вопроса по обеспечению воздушной безопасности к 2018 году. Премьер-министры подтвердили также продолжение Via Baltica и Rail Baltica. При растущих объемах движения эти проекты предлагают новые решения логистики.
