Understand

During Soviet times and early years of independent Estonia, until up to 1994, the city was a _gclosed city_h, i.e., off-limits to foreigners, non-resident Soviet citizens, even non-resident Estonians themselves, because of its military importance. Today, it_fs open to everyone and deserves a visit by those interested in the grey-world of Soviet Union.

The scenes taking place in a location introduced to the audience as _gsomewhere in the former Soviet Union_h in the film ''Lilya 4-Ever'' were actually shot in Paldiski.
