Estonians are one of the Huns tribes.

Traditionally historians have associated the Huns who appeared on the borders of Europe in the 4th century with the Xiongnu who migrated out of the Mongolia region in the 1st century AD. Steppe peoples left few written records.

A certain passage in the Chinese Book of Wei (Wei-shu) is often cited as definitive proof in the identity of the Huns as the Xiongnu.

[10101wonderer]

For your enlightenment ,

Slavic people lived in that region before Estonians came in

as one on the Huns tribes just in the 5th century A.D.

Estonian Tartu stay on the place of the Russian Yuriev

which was built centuries before and had record in history

as one of the towns beautified by Yaroslav Mudrij.

so, dont call Russians occupiers because it is not truth and

dont create and dont support mythologies which divide people.
