Õismäe in the 90s, the Perm mafia, and the Linnuvabriku gang!

On the 90s Õismäe and Astangu crime tour, we walk on the border of two worlds: on one side, idealistic Soviet urban planning; on the other, the grim era of the 1990s, when criminal groups operated in these districts and scores were settled brutally. During the tour, we explore the notorious Perm mafia and the Linnuvabrik underworld groups, and learn about the bloody confrontations associated specifically with Õismäe. What brutal acts made locals avoid certain places after dark? We will also discover how Väike-Õismäe was built and why it appears perfectly circular on the map. The stories take us to Astangu as well, where we talk about former secret military sites and restricted zones hidden in the forest. Join this tour and uncover the hidden history of one Tallinn district - a place where ideal urban planning met the military world of the Cold War, and where the turbulent 90s left their mark.
