Roos is known by his portrait, female nude and animal sculptures. Notable public works include Bear (1939) in the Hirvepark in Tallinn (1939),[2] Lynx (1983) in Tallinn Zoo.[3]
Roos' most known piece is the Monument to the Liberators of Tallinn (1947) commonly known as the Bronze Soldier Co-author architect Arnold Alas. In 2007 relocation of the statue from the center of Tallinn to the nearby military graveyard led to rioting and looting of Russian nationalists the so called Bronze Night and the 2007 cyberattacks on Estonia a wide spread cyber attacks against Estonian digital infrastructure. Although artistically unnotable it is remarkable among the Soviet war statues as instead of the common heroic posture it depicts a mourning soldier standing with his head looking down.[4]
