The russian speaking population is around 300.000 I think , roughly 25% Most of them living in the eastern part of Estonia and in Tallinn. During the early days of 90's( checked some tables ) it dropped 100.000 and its still dropping.

Yes, amazing as Maidan could change the situation.
The maidan doesn't change anything. How can you change the views with 30 million people with one event? This is simply impossible.
The Russian invasion changed the opinion, and that is simply logical and understandable. If China invaded Russia right now it would be very easy for Putin to get an 100% approval rating in one day. Oh wait, it's almost at 114% now anyway
The truth is? There was a lot of bottled up feelings of resentment since forever. Look back in history, in the 20s when Ukraine was independent. Ukraine never wanted to be part of Russia and never felt any "brotherly love" to you guys.
It was the Russian empire, of course - an empire is not a nation-state.
Russia is not a nation-state.

According to this ridiculous reasoning, Russia would be allowed to intervene in any country with ethnic Russian immigrants living in it (like, say, the USA). Complete and utter nonsense, and total disregard for the sovereignty and territorial integrity of other countries. If ethnic Russians in Ukraine want to live in Russia, they're more than welcome to leave Ukraine and move to Russia.
But USA intervenein in other country, even if there are no Americans.

That's pretty strange considering estonian economy is in far better shape than the russian one.
Oh?
Judging by some of Shnurov's ( band "Leningrad") videos, it's not a case.
Boris and Shnurov are absolutely different creators. Shnurov very precisely feels the mood of society, his works are always ironic, but it is a reflection of reality (some certain social groups).
Boris is the "klyukva" (cranberry). Gopnik, squat, Adidas, alteration of machines - it's all bull***t. This is not a modern Russian reality. Maybe it was true 20-25 years ago. I think this product for foreigners. Red Square, matryoshka, balalaika and bear with beer and... gopnik, squat, Adidas, alteration of machine.
Gopnik absent in modern Russia as a social stratum. They were in the 90s, but they have matured and become businessmen, politicians, police officers, or (more often) corpses.
Squatting is not a whim, it's part of the prison subculture. Even though I know it's quite popular to be photographed in this position, but I do not know why people do it.
Heels on ground, hands on knees, back is relaxed. This position allows you to relax on long hauls, when prisoners overcome a long way and they were not allowed to lie on the halts.
And Russians do not like Adidas particularly. Most of them can not buy the original stuff this brand. But in the 90s, the markets were filled with cheap Chinese and Vietnamese counterfeiting with three stripes. All wore this clothing (and Gopnik also) because they could not buy a normal quality clothing.
Also Russians do not transform cars like in Boris's video.
The guys from the Caucasus like to remove springs from their cars: http://cs10978.vk.me/v10978327/1d/FpJuzp2e5P8.jpg
Чем выше горы - тем ниже Приоры(с) (translate: The higher the mountain - the lower the cars).

Events in the capital always have a lot of weight. Anti-constitutional coup and the change of direction of development of the country - it is a necessary reason for the response. Especially when this coup has the support of the United States.

It's good. All these snot and slobber to limit the Russia. Unfortunately, most of Russian live in illusions so far. They think that if someone is to change power in Kiev, then everything can get better. This is a misconception.

The truth is that if CIA did not spend billions on brainwashing and financing the extremist and gangster groups in Ukraine none of thousands of women and children would have been killed in the conflict.
Thank you Obama, don't forget to wash off Ukrainian and Russian blood from your hands.
