Russians and other minorities in Estonia were limited in rights, they were deprived of citizenship by Estonia's government. Notice, that Russians are native citizens of Estonia and even Estonia's capital Tallinn was founded by Russians.
I was expecting some Russian response. Glad to hear from the other side.

Name other minorities in Estonia.

Those Russians in Estonia are remnants of the occupational rule of Estonia, that is a sad fact. If they feel so Russian inside, why not move there?

And Estonia founded by Russians? I have heard from various russians that vast majority of cities in the North has been founded by Russians(even Viipuri), but that Tallinn also... can you back that up?

And If living in Estonia, one should be able to talk Eesti language. Those Russians cannot, and will not.
So what do you think these Russians in Estonia should do?

How do you call the act when native ethnical minority will be deprived of citizenship? No doubt, it is a nazi fascistic act! Big shame on Estonians!
THere it comes again. If somebody steps on Russians toes, they are automatically facist.
Should those Russians learn language of the nation they live in, and work and pay taxes there, they would gain citizenship. As Russians in their arrogancy will not comply, they are not needed.
And it is not Russian Federations buisness. You are not in any position to claim any rights on people who are not your nations citizens. I say; Back off!

Quote:
Russians can't work legally, they can't study on Russian. Russian language which is used by 40% of population is not official. In Finland where only 4% speak Swedish, Swedish is official language.
Less than 40. Actually, if the Estonians are correct, number is 25%.
Nothing will give these Russians right to wreack such havoc. They ought to assimilate themselves into Estonians society, or leave.

Crying over Soviet-era statue which portrays Estonians occupiee, is little less than assimilation.

And a question; Whatever happened to all the Statues in Estonia when your occupation began? Where are old Estonians statues?
