There was an underground Soviet ICBM base in Vilaski, near Valga, but some idiot destroyed it. Unfortunately we found the base just as the damage had been done. I later heard that the owner had it destroyed to collect metal for resale, clearly placing his own short term selfish interests above that of preserving a historical structure which had potential to attract visitors interested in Soviet military history to Valga, which in the long term would have been more valuable than his short term gains.
Now the former Soviet ICBM missile base remains stands as a lasting testimony of the stupidity of some individuals who only see their own short term financial interests.
