🔥"Putler is a war criminal." This is how Putin was congratulated on May 9 by his neighbors from Estonia.

The banner appeared on the wall of a museum in Narva, facing the Russian Ivangorod, where a stage for a patriotic concert was built. Narva is separated from Russia only by a river, which can be crossed via the Friendship Bridge.

      Trolls.

      Some 10 years ago I wondered if Estonia’s policies wrt Russians in their own country isn’t a bit strict. Boy have the tables turned in my head. The Baltics had it right since the the beginning.

      Russia threatened to somehow (with military force if “necessary”) protect Russians in neighbouring countries in the early 90s already. Back then I’m sure it was waved off by Western countries almost unanimously. Again: boy, have the tables turned.

          There was no effort made to integrate them or give russian speakers a reason to lear the language of the country they’re in.

          I was told that one could not become a citizen unless one learned Estonian. Isn’t that a good reason?
