I think the Soviet-Union was wrong, trying to preserve estonian culture and language instead of suppresing it and deporting the eesti faggots to the arctic coast of eastern Siberia.

[ppatrikfromEST]

haha RT news are such bullshit they only showed the few who were supporting russians but not others

[janar17]

Russians like to say : Russia for Russians.

so how come they dont like that Estonia should be for Estonians?

hypocracy.

[UDSS]

Nationalism is wrong. Look at this mess. Both sides are guilty in this conflict.

The Russian must accept the fact, that the Stalinist USSR conquered Estonia and the Baltic nation in 1940 and 1945.

But the Estonians must understand that their population is 1/3 made up of Russians. They are not the only group that is living in Estonia.

[eksiarvamus]

@UDSS but the 1/3 aren't native to Estonia - they are workers, who have been brought in during the occupation. Estonia should treat Russians as if they made up ca. 8% of the population - like it was before WW2

[bobshenix]

@UDSS

Forced integration of groups that don't mesh well together is worse than letting a nationalist-leaning nation keep its sovereignty make its own decisions regarding demographics. The EU's opening of the floodgates has caused ethnic tensions and conflicts are only getting worse as we move forward, especially since the economy is stagnant.

Nobody, nationalist or not, should be happy about immigrant invasions when there are not enough jobs for their own countrymen to begin with IMO

[Hellooo20]

fuck the russians and get out from baltic counrty's

[NORTHERNKONFLIKT]

Baltic economies would collapse even worse then it is now If they all were kicked out. So that's no solution.

It's called reaching out a hand to Baltic-Russians instead of treating them like second class citizens and provoking anti-multicultural sentiment.

Think before you speak you blatant racist.

[Danish4ever77]

Yeah they should get russian pasports, learn russian and MOVE back to RuSSia where they came from!

[suksitis]

Exactly! And if they fail to do so, some help should be offered by the EU for them to move. Otherwise we will always be some steps from (or in) a civil war, until the decolonisation will finally be done.

[giltedged]

As I see it -and I'm not Est or Russian - the best solution for the Russian families who are stateless, and probably even those who aren't,is to get Russian passports pronto. And to continue teaching their children Russian. I'm sure that their 18 year hardship incubus will end soon.

[giltedged]

The EU Parliament is no parliament. It is a joke and we all remember how Berlusconi treated it like a joke.

But Eskimo-style Nazism is alive and well in Estonia. Russia should sort the wannabe state out, prune and cleanse it. God knows Estonia is no Chechnya. Probably a couple of days' work. We Western Europeans woudn't give a flying f*** if Russia took action. Only a few English binge-drinkers know where it is.

[scrap222666]

Yeah I agree. Cleanse Estonia. Would require under a million bullets. Killing the children and women would be hard but doable, you have experience in this field and some veterans should still be alive. We arent no Chechyna, we rely on others support so you got us there. You as a westerner wont come so if I expand your good thinking, that would mean noone will come to help us.

Good speed to you, UK citizen. Your ethnic cleansing theory is interesting, the nazis and Hitler loved the idea.

[giltedged]

Don't be silly, scrappie. Cleansing means removing the old nazis and dumping ihe nazi policemen and the "American" cabinet ministers in America where they belong. And I certainly wouldn't destroy the lovely little cities now deformed with American billboards and American office boxes.

[620972]

There are no nazis in Estonia. Just because we don't want to be a part of your disgusting communist union doesn't mean we are nazis. The only racist killers are the russians: 60 000 skinheads in Russia, 72 foreigners killed by them last year... Who's the nazi?

[SovietWarrior]

So the great USSR dragged the Eeeestiii peasants screaming and resisting into the 21st century, provided them with education, with science and industry, and THIS is the thank-you we've get.

See, doing GOOD things is not a good thing. We should have done like the yanks, kill half the population and economically force the other half to migrate to Russia to survive.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

SovietWarrior is a typical victim of soviet brainwashing....provided with education, with science and industry???? Hahaha! good one! GENOCIDE! DEPORTATIONS! EXCECUTIONS! RAPINGS! -these are the keywords of soviet regime in Estonia!

[SovietWarrior]

Nazi collaborators got shot and deported, big deal, do you sympatise with them cause you're a nazi yourself?

The goddamn Ests didn't even want to speak Russian during the Soviet period, but sure, they reap the benefits of the infrastructure left by the Great USSR today!

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

so children and women were nazi-collaborators..??

From 1939-1941 Soviet Union and Nazi-Germany had an agreement, so called Pact of Molotov-Ribbentrop, so YOU WERE NAZI COLLABORATORS! You knew exactly what Hitler was going to do with Jews but you didnt care! And also during II World War in 1944 Red Army had a possibility to end genocide in Poland but YOU DID NOT INTERFERE! BECAUSE YOU DID NOT CARE!

[mikolajoskierko]

Soviet union helped nazis to build thier military, ships in Petersburg, planes near Moscow, trained soldiers, not to mention resources... NKVD had about four meeting in occupied Poland about the common fight against resistance, shareing captured soldiers and planning together massacres such as German "Aktion-AB" and soviet Katyń.

Soviet union is the same responsible for everything what nazis did.

[katyawinslett]

I am very sorry to what happened to Estonians by Soviet occupation forces.

It still does not mean you did up dead hero's remains who died fighting Nazism. Show some respect.

[tvezi1]

Actually those dead soldiers weren't fighting the nazis.You see the soviet forces came to Tallinn after the germans had left.So most of them were just shot by the russians themselves for looting.

[620972]

Those "heroes" annexed our country, deported tens of thousands of people, destroyed our culture... They were NOT in it to fight the Nazis - they were their allies in the beginning and only crawled over to the winners's side to expand their sick empire.

[katyawinslett]

Those heroes beat the Nazis and that's what should matter, have a little respect. Yes there were unwise choices made in the government about deportations but it's not commemorating that, ur not the only one Stalins killed and deported millions, incl.Russi. And NOBODY crawled over to the winner's side to expand anything, the geopolitical situation of the time was such that NEITHER the Nazis nor the "allies" treated Slavs as people at that time. Why almost like you with your ridiculous ramblings.

[620972]

Unwise decisions? Well, in that case the German government also made "unwise decisions" and their soldiers were just heroes. Face it, both regimes were highly criminal and just because Russian was fighting the evil doesn't make itself less evil. And I guess your claim that nobody treated the Slavs like people makes it ok for them to do these things to other people?

[ViriathusVingathor]

Russia mentality is yet in the 19 century,everything its an offense to the whole russia,diplomatic relations imediately cuted,all russians out of the respective country,state of emergency,declaration of war eminent,Russia has to progress 200 years(of course its an exageration,but i bet many russians see things this way,like the americans another mentaly undeveloped country)

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

On June 14, 1940 while world's attention is focused on the fall of Paris to Nazi Germany a day earlier, the Soviet military blockade of Estonia went into effect, two Soviet bombers downed Finnish passenger airplane "Kaleva" flying from Tallinn to Helsinki carrying three diplomatic pouches from the U.S. legations in Tallinn, Riga and Helsinki. The US Foreign Service employee Henry W. Antheil, Jr. was killed in the crash.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

On June 16 1940, the Soviet Union invaded Estonia. Molotov accused the Baltic states of conspiracy against the Soviet Union and delivered an ultimatum to Estonia for the establishment of a government the Soviets approve of.

[mer3abec]

Why you agree to join USSR? Why you did't fight? Cos most of your people want it !!!! And Est parlament signed all papers. What ocupation? All by law.

[scrap222666]

Thats seeing things in black and white.

You see- estonia signed and agreed to join USSR.

Realy happend- estonians leading politicians were shot/relocated or managed to escape. New politicians that were russian minded gave our freedom away. aka "puppet governemt was installsed" - dont know if danes are familiar with harder explanations as you couldnt figure out the "estonians wanted to join" thing.

[GoodNightGoodLuck]

As Danes we should definiately know about it. Our own WWII government had to accept the German "Peace Occupation" to "protect" us against the British. The Danes hardly put up a fight to resist that on April 9, 1940.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

The Estonian government decided: given the overwhelming Soviet force both on the borders and inside the country, not to resist, to avoid bloodshed and open war. Estonia accepted the ultimatum and the statehood of Estonia de facto ceased to exist as the Red Army exited from their military bases in Estonia on June 17.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

The following day, some 90,000 additional troops entered the country. The military occupation of the Republic of Estonia was rendered "official" by communist coup d'état supported by the Soviet troops.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

The Soviet authorities, having gained control over Estonia, immediately imposed a regime of terror. During the first year of Soviet occupation (1940-1941) over 8,000 people, including most of the country's leading politicians and military officers, were arrested. About 2,200 of the arrested were executed in Estonia, while most others were moved to prison camps in Russia, from where very few were later able to return alive.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

On June 14, 1941, when mass deportations took place simultaneously in all three Baltic countries, about 10,000 Estonian civilians were deported to Siberia and other remote areas of the Soviet Union, where nearly half of them later perished.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

Of the 32,100 Estonian men who were forcibly relocated to Russia under the pretext of mobilisation into the Soviet army after the German invasion of the Soviet Union in 1941, nearly 40 percent died within the next year in the so-called "labour battalions" through hunger, cold and overworking.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

During the first Soviet occupation of 1940-41 about 500 Jews were deported to Siberia Estonian graveyards and monuments were destroyed. Among others, the Tallinn Military Cemetery had the majority of gravestones from 1918--1944 destroyed by the Soviet authorities, and this graveyard became reused by the Red Army.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

Other cemeteries destroyed by the authorities during the Soviet era in Estonia include Baltic German cemeteries established in 1774 and the oldest cemetery in Tallinn, from 16th century.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

As the Soviet Union had occupied Estonia in 1940 and retaken it from Nazi Germany again in 1944, tens of thousands of Estonia's citizens suffered deportation in the 1940s. Deportations were predominantly to Siberia and Kazakhstan by means of railroad cattle cars, without prior announcement, while deported were given few night hours at best to pack their belongings and separated from their families, usually also sent to the east.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

The first repressions in Estonia affected Estonia's national elite. The country political and military leadership was deported almost entirely, including 10 of 11 ministers and 68 of 120 members of parliament.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

11,102 people were to be deported from Estonia according to the order of June 13, but some managed to escape. The opertation affected Latvia and Lithuania at the same time.

During the first year of Soviet rule nearly 54,000 Estonian citizens were executed, deported or mobilized into the Red Army.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

During collectivization attempt in the Baltic republics, on January 29, 1949, the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union issued top secret decree No. 390--138ss, which obligated the Ministry for State Security (MGB) to exile the kulaks and the people's enemies from the three Baltic Republics forever.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

So in the early morning of March 25, 1949, the second major wave of deportation from the Baltic Republics, operation "Priboy" (Breakers), carried out by MGB began, which was planned to affect 30,000 in Estonia, including peasants. Lieutenant General Pyotr Burmak, commander of the MGB Internal Troops, was in charge for the operation in general.

[CrimesAgainstHumanit]

20,722 (7,500 families, over 2.5 percent of the Estonian population, half of them women, over 6,000 children under the age of 16, and 4,300 men) were sent to Siberia during three days. A little over 10 percent of them were men of working age. The deported included invalids, pregnant women and children separated from their parents.
