Any Esto...Russians do not like Estonia as a nation. Any Estonian in person they judge as a person.<BR/><BR/>Why they do not like Estonia?<BR/>Well, this comes from Estonia's attitude towards Russia. <BR/>Yes, Soviets got Estonia in 1940 to secure their border. That was a prewar situation and "Big Countries" would not give a damn for what ideas the "small countries" had about their souvereignty. Such was a political morals of that time. If not the USSR, the others would take Estonia anyway. And Estonia was a part of the Russian Empire before, untill 1918. It would be even easier for them to join their former fellow-countrymen than go to Germans.<BR/>In 1945 the Red Army indeed LIBERATED Estonia. Do Estonians really believe they would do better under Germans?<BR/> Germans treated them well during the war not to have additional problems behind their frontline. But what would happen if Germans won the war? Well, read "Mein Kamph". The German would start measuring the skulls of the newly conquered subjects. Estonians are brachiochephals, they do not belong to the "Arian race". They are Ugric-Finnish people, relative to some small hunter-gatherer tribes living on the Russian North and right East of the Urals. The Germans would take the best of the Estonian (the skull is not that round) and put them "capos" to supervise the rest of the nation. And the rest would grow pigs for German "bauers", the work the Estonians do best. Of course, the handicapped and elderly Estonians would go to the crematoriums. And Estonia would get more German settler in 5 years than they had Russians in 50.<BR/>So they were LIBERATED. And they do not appreciate that. Also in the USSR they were treated with respect to their dignity, as citizens, equal, with all the rights the Russians or other nations of the USSR had. They had education on their language, media, movies, their culture was respected. Their writers, scientists, chess-players, actors, musicians, singers were well known to the whole USSR. We lived together 45 years, ate from the same "pot" and shared what was good and what was bad.<BR/>Now Estonia is spitting into that "pot".<BR/>Estonians do not want to hear anything good about their Soviet period. Nothing other than "they were occupied" and one hundred and something Estonian wer sent to Siberia. Like that was for Estonians only.<BR/>They do not give citezenship to the Russians living in Estonia, they treat them like they were illigal immigrants who just came there. Though they have been there tens of years and helped to built all the infrastructure Estonia has now.(Germany gave citezenship to all their gast-arbeiter Turks). Estonia jumped to the NATO and demonstrates arrogance, hostility and disrespect to her Russian populations and to Russia.<BR/>So it is just mutual hostility. And Estonia started it firstAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-25230932.post-23378470474982519902007-06-12T00:58:00.000-04:002007-06-12T00:58:00.000-04:00I wonder though who actually is in denial here.

The fact remains that despite any Estonian moral outrage at their presence, Russia DID inspire a riot in Estonia, HAS caused some destabilization in its government and HAS caused some issues in its market place. I say for a country with an overstated sense of ego, Russia done a pretty good job of proving that they are in fact an influential party. . The EU might not like what Russia is doing or how they are doing it, but the bottom line seems to be that they are going to need to respect that they can.<BR/><BR/>I quoted this article for an essay about Russia's newfound wealth and politcal clout [http://beinghadii.blogspot.com]BEING HADhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03536564388948517817noreply@blogger.com
