The Estonian village was squeezed between anti-tank trenches and the border with Russia: the border village became a line of defense.
"The village of Vinski in Stoma County on the border between Estonia and Russia found itself between anti-tank trenches dug on private land and the state border. The local residents are most concerned about where the water flowing into the defense canals will be transferred, and whether there will be a forest road along which it is possible to leave the village in addition to the main road.
Vinsky has seven farms. Now the local residents have to get used to new conditions: the village is surrounded by a defense battery and anti-tank trenches.
In fact, Vinsky has become a sort of fortified village: on the one hand it is surrounded by a protective fence, and on the other hand by anti-tank trenches and defensive ramparts."
