Johan Laidoner was a seminal figure of Estonian history between the world wars. His highest position was Commander-in-chief of the Estonian Army in 1918–1920, 1924–1925, and 1934–1940.

The equestrian monument of General Laidoner by Terje Ojaver, erected in summer 2004 near the Traditional Music Centre in Viljandi, is a pseudo-realistic figure on a low shining black formal granite pedestal executed with decent handicraft skills.
