It's hubrus. Estonian has been the official language of Estonia, and despite that, some pigheaded arrogant Russians still refuse to speak Estonian in public places. Most Estonians smile and try to accommodate their needs.

Estonia is another country that has been invaded by scads of countries over the centuries, was occupied by the Nazis then seized by the USSR until they won their freedom in the Singing Revolution. Another place where Stalin deported and murdered the indigenous people.

Many millions don't care about what anybody is doing..........that is the problem. You don't care why are you posting?

I see you are as terrible at geography as you are at every other subject. Seriously, have you ever even looked at a map?

I wouldn't worry too much. Estonia's a NATO member and even Putin isn't dumb enough to start a war with NATO.

Yes, this topic is a nonsense. Nobody is going to attack them.

I agree with you on language. People should learn the local one. But I have to remind you that people went there by direct allocation. Sometimes it wasn't their choice.
