The only reason you think think I am targeting the Russians themselves is due to their support of the actions of Soviet Russia and their own actions and behavior worthy of demonization such as the re-looting of Tallinn.<BR/><BR/>Russia's denials of the crimes of the Soviet Union is as bad as denial of the holocaust.<BR/><BR/>The question you should ask yourself is why is it that the economy of post-occupied Estonia, and the other former Soviet States has grown like crazy since the fall of the Soviet Union, yet somehow Russia has managed to take a step backwards.<BR/><BR/>As for that silly statue in Tallinn, it was the ethnic Russians who met there every year on 9 May to burn Estonian flags, not nazi ones in celebration of Victory in Europe day.<BR/><BR/>These are the demons who brought this issue front and center by pissing off the people they live amongst. The flag burnings is their response to their lost sense of superiority. If they cared about quality of life, then they would not have trashed Tallinn like they did.Fred Fryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13532681496977057474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6620905.post-83707270717046389432007-05-08T08:04:00.000-04:002007-05-08T08:04:00.000-04:00I have no doubt that life for Russians in Estonia ...<I>I have no doubt that life for Russians in Estonia was better for them during Soviet times, but that was at the expense of the Estonians who were forced to accept the Russian migrants and their taking control of most whatever they wanted.</I><BR/><BR/>This statement is doubly awful because Estonian economy is several times larger than it was in soviet time and secondly it demonizes people of russian nationality implying that most of them prefer privilege and sense of superiority over quality of life.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
