Aili Jõgi (b. May 25 1931) is an Estonian militant-nationalist who in 1946 blew up a Soviet Grave Monument: the preceding monument to the Bronze Soldier in Tallinn. At the age of 14, she was arrested and sent to a prison camp in Komi Republic in European Russia, and exiled from Estonia for eight years. She got married in Komi to Ülo Jõgi; because her Estonian husband was exiled for life, she could not return to Estonia until 1970.
In 1998, Jõgi received the Order of the Cross of the Eagle for her fight against communism by the Estonian President Lennart Meri.
