Future

Lets predict future.
According to last big happenings in Estonia, what will change or happen?

Well, at least some things are clear now, and that's good.
Estonia may have forgotten how dangerous one of our big neighbor have allways been...

And it can make our coalisation much stronger.
I think now Ansip don't want to play with Savisaar for a while...

Paukson sayed that "bronze-conflict" will culminate in 2008 or 2010

i think, there might happen similar things in other ex SU countries(monuments relocateing or takeing down). EU is digging in soviet union history, that may have influence in future. This kind of happenings are bad for economics of Russia - being unfriendly to neighbours, EU meeteing for example. We may hope that they learn from this for their economical interests but i doubt in that, instead we may see more negative moves and propaganda in future.

relocating and taking down monuments seems to be very popular lately. soon there will be no more monuments left if it goes on like that

i hope the new president of russia will change the country and show more respect to its neighbors

i daubt in that, i think next president will be Putins friend and Putin will remain leading country on backround

70% is too too much
putin is stupid but not that stupid
tho i agree with Voodoo, i think he might stay on backround... depends who gets elected

triks like nasi, corrupted political elite, "journalism", faked voteing, Putin might get with these tools president he wants

what will happens i think first Russia make great noise around it specialy if there are need for distract attention from domestical affairs. They got enemy now who arent enough military power to treath them and they use it.

I think Russia trys get back what was gived away to let Naši terrorise with embasseys. Russia have lost much trust in europe much more than they admit. It was huge step back. Now they use economics to regain it gas pipeline under Caspian Sea is one example of it.

Some more statues will be removed, it is this summer fashion soon it will be over and soon no one notice if another statue will be removed. Even that Bronze Solider will be forgot because it isnt intresting anymore.

I hope estonians and russians here will start dialouge and start living together.

If it weren't for NATO the Baltic countries may have been annexed again by Russia, You think why Kremlin doesn't want Ukraine to join NATO and EU?
Ofcourse it want's to keep the country in Russia's grasp in it's influence.
(It's sad that only 30% of Ukranians knows Ukranian ).

What's so wrong with that? We live in a real world. This is life.

And where did you get that from? Ukranian is an official language in the country. Is it Putin who doesn't let them speak their language again?

Kinda sad in my taste. Result of centuries of russification.

Yes. I heard so.

And annexing You maybe mean? Yes that would be pretty wrong, I'm sure 3/4 of the people there wouldn't like that.

Maybe You and your family speak Ukrainish, but it's true over 30% speaks Ukrainish, the rest of Ukrains speak Russian.

but then again i dn't really knoe.. cuz i've never been to Ukraine.. only Belarus lol

Agreed. Most Ukranians speak Ukranish on the West of Ukraine, in cities like Lwow/Lemberg, a Polish city once, stolen by the USSR, It was one of the largest centers of Polish culture, what a irony, now it is a center of Ukranish pro-European culture, many Ukrainians there can speak Polsih, and read our litterature, they pretty like us and they're kinda pro-polish I like that fact, still I would like these lands back if You don't mind.
