I think you should be able to speak your language in your own country. If you go to the store and the salesperson doesn't have a clue what you're saying and you have to start speaking in russian to make yourself understandable, then there's someting wrong.

[bigdaddyevil666]

To become a citizen of russia, you must also take a language exam. The 2 tests Estonia asks one to take are the same that most countries make you take if one wants citizenship. I dont see the problems here.

I have met many Russians who have lived their whole lives inside Eastonia and cannot speak the language. Then they wonder why some show discrimination to them.

[MCrue2]

Yeah integration is absolutely not working. I'm 25 and I have no Russian friend nor I don't even know any Russians in my community. Never knew. But it's not like I dislike them. It's just Russians stick to their own.

[Pwn4dByMe]

I think that if you live in one country, then you should also be able to speak in that language.

It's the same like I would go to USA for example and start speaking with other people in estonian. Now, that wouldn't be nice, would it?

[DanishAAA]

Learning is not a punishment.. I think both languages, Estonian and Russian sound beautiful... We ought to have many languages, but not tie them to identity. I speak French, but I'm not French, I speak Turkish, but I'm not Turkish..I'm Danish... no one is better than the other by nation and things could have been reversed. Another thing is that if you learn a language you get to understand more people. Anyway, don't they have two languages in Finland? But, don't look to my country for a solution

[despub]

Well, Well, Well. Let an American express his opinion.

The nationalism is the colective expression of the stupidity. Conditioning the citizenship to a languaje test for people born in Estonia is something that only the nazis could do. I just can't imagine that in a democracy.

There is a mistake when the Estonians identify the comunist-stalinists with the Russian people. This is the source of all the hate against the Russian people.

There is no integration if you deny your Russian identity.

[Computenator]

Russians *****, can't understand what da f**k are they doing in Estonia, they already have the biggest country in the world so what da f**k are they looking from one of the smallest countrys of the world (i'm estonian, and i hate russia and russians)

[serjio747]

Man, you are definitely sick. There is no doubt.

You hate the Russians. Thats fine. But I guess you also hate other nations. I would like to see how you would consider a situation if Chinese or Indian comunities existed in your country. Believe me you would be more aggressive. The world becomes multicultural and cosmopolitan. You just gotta accept it, man.

[jaanoun]

cant u understand russians want the world.. its not just estonia or baltics. they want it all

[Baltican]

Peeps! Listen to the un-russian named people. You can see they are better at speaking english. All the integration needed here is learning the damn language and stopping to be the rodents who spread diseses.

[Merlikas]

I kind of liked the interview, it was calm and nice. But i still think that integration is not working still. I am estonian, i live in Tallinn but i don't have any russian friends, and its probably allmost the same with many russians who don't communicate with estonians, and if that barrier is not breaked nothing is going to change.

[kroll124]

the intergration would be great, when all russians will learn estonian and would start thinking as estonians not like russians(i live in estonia)

[permanentkick]

it's quite a bit less than 32 percent-

[eestipoiss92]

Only a bit, I think it's 30 percent.

[power509]

I understand the Estonians, tiny little country small ethnic population. The Russians should just integrate and accept the country or relocate.

[tudeundeesti]

dude stop bullshitting. Russian all over former USSR are the same they want others to learn Russian when they live in that country

[hammeranvilnj]

The cold war is over. The ruskies can go the hell back to Russia where they belong.

[NewDudeInHere]

Discriminated? Now they are discriminated? They destroy our hometown and dont speak estonian IN Estonia and they dont understand why estonians dont like them so much? They drink they break and they steal. And what is the talk about not able to vote? Every person with an Estonian passport can vote in Estonia our in an embassy of Estonia.

That Eva-Maria Asari has a nice rack.
