Dude, of course there were consentration camps here. How unfortuante it is, now Russia has everlasting right (at least in their heads) to destroy, rape, murder, claim and call everybody fascist here. It will be always like
Estonia: you occupied us. Russia: no we liberated you.
Estonia: you deported, murdered and killed tens of thousands. Russia: you had nazi concentration camps.
Estonia: you supressed our language, culture and freedom. Russia: Germany would have done the same.
Estonia: Stalin was a criminal. Russia: but he did win the war.
In other words, being part of Allies and winning the war gives them excuse for everything. We have a saying what translates to "winners are not judged". Russians take for granted that winning WW2 redeems all their horrible deeds before and after the war.
