Tallinn has always been Estonia like LA has been always in California. No matter if the city and state was part of Mexico or US. The policy says To be clear, you may sometimes need to mention the current name of the area (for example "what is now France"). In 1971 Estonia was de facto part of USSR (not recognized de jure by the US and UK), now Estonia is part of the EU. To be safe, I'd suggest '
Tallinn,
Estonia,
USSR'. Like for example anybody born in '
Los Angeles,
California,
Mexico' before California became a state of the US, a little like Estonia was de facto part of USSR but has by now become a member state of the
EU.--

The point is, it doesn't really matter whether it was the
Republic of Estonia or the
Soviet Union. The place was still
Estonia and he had nothing special to do with the Soviet Union. Only when Estonia was reindependent again, he was taken into an international football team. Therefore, birthplace Estonia sounds the best.
And another thing, Estonia has never been part of the USSR, it was the Estonian SSR. There is a big differenece as you should know.
