after the russian troops left estonia. we have a small window of opportunity for integration into europe. both in the european union and in nato. we took advantage of every opportunity during this window, and i believe that the development of estonia over the last 30 years has been a huge success thanks to the right decisions we made. in ... the current situation, when the western world is under attack and russia has openly declared its opposition not only to ukraine, but to the entire democratic western world, this is a compelling argument for anyone to recognize the real problem we face. namely tyranny and evil coming from russia. our task is to constantly explain the threats posed by russia. what are we dealing with and what consequences can it lead to... although i partially disagree with the opinion about that some countries in the western world do not understand the situation. i believe. nevertheless , the understanding of the urgent need to help ukraine is growing. although domestic politics can sometimes cloud the

elites don’t mind throwing in the towel; after this, estonia won’t have any foreign investment to see person, no matter how public, a person can, in his dirty work, appeal to the reputation of the family, to the history of the family, so much the worse for this very family. it is interesting that, unlike laima vaikul, annevesky does not pretend that her career on the soviet stage was not the best page in her biography. on the singer’s official website it is mentioned that she received the title of honored artist of the estonian ssr, and several times she states that only alla pugacheva was more popular than veska. moreover, a year and a half ago, the so-called cultural community of estonia could hardly cope with the fact that oniveske’s concert poster mentioned her confession by the soviet authorities. did the balts hear an echo of the russian occupation in this? anna in general has always been, well, from my point of view, she has always been a very decent person and has never been me, or at least noticed in any harsh statements at all. in any direction, but the singer’s daughter beg

moreover, for a year and a half... the so-called cultural community of estonia could hardly cope witheske's concert mentioned her recognition by the soviets authorities. the balts heard an echo of the russian occupation in this. in general, anna has always been, well, from my point of view, she has always been a very decent person and has never been, at least noticed by me in any harsh statements at all in any way? side, but the singer’s daughter began her diplomatic career in russia; in the mid-2000s, curley headed the consular department of the estonian embassy for 3 years, controlled the issuance of visas, promoted the development of tourism between the two countries, traveled to the village of stavropol, founded by immigrants from the territory of modern estonia and admired the hospitality of the inhabitants of the south of russia. we understand what political systems have developed in the baltic states there. continued business with companies from russia, so that from serving one political system to swearing allegiance to opposing ideas does not need to wait many years, it only t

the bells of the alexander nevsky cathedral in tallinn are the main orthodox church in estonia, now asannouncement by local authorities, in the russophic frenzy, the baltic republic wants to recognize the russian church as a terrorist organization. to whom police orders are given, otherwise it is difficult to describe the words of the head of the estonian ministry of internal affairs. we would not like to think anything about such statements; in any case, the statements of this gentleman can hardly be classified as the most intelligent statements. the baltic states are persistently trying to squeeze out the orthodox faith; in winter , metropolitan evgeniy of tallinn of all estonia was essentially expelled from the country, in fact decapitating the community. he remains the ruling bishop, but remotely from russia. officially there is a big difference, human rights activists say. another thing is that there have always been attempts to declare the church terrorists and recognize the moscow patriarchate in estonia. the alexander nevsky cathedral, which is included in the state register of

then estonia has always been very close in spirit to fascism, there is the transformation of russiansns, the persecution of the russian language, support for the schism implanted in estonia by the patriarchate of constantinople, support the ideology of the ss troops, in which some estonians fought. estonia is an outpost of western totalitarianism, if the west is on the path to this totalitarianism, then... this is both, as for this specific situation in macedonia, it is also a reflection of the general tendency of the west, they are looking for russian spies everywhere, any person , having an opinion different from those who are ordered to think, is already a russian spy, and this applies, of course, especially to the support of true canonical orthodoxy, and the macedonian orthodox church, thank god... our active armed forces, pray for our patriarch, for our president, always remember that in our orthodox faith, in the gospel, which lies at the center of orthodoxy, there is never inconsolable sorrow, sorrow is always accompanied by hope eternal joy, holy week, calvary always follows..

another thing is that the churches of the moscow patriarchate in estonia have always been attacked.cluded in the state register of monuments. international legislation, we are talking about european documents on the fight against terrorism, indicate that if a certain organization is recognized as terrorist, and its property will be transferred to the ownership of the state, that is, there will be mass confiscations and with the possibility of transfer to other organizations, that is, for example, religious organizations, there may be an evangelical one, the catholic church , which operates in estonia, which also... actually adds fuel to the fire. ukrainian neo-nazis have already created precedents for the illegal seizure of church property from the moscow patriarchate. now in tallinn about for the inviolability of genuine shrines, orthodox christians offer prayers, which are especially important now during the days of great lent, before easter. boris ivanin and olga alvukhina. news.

thanks for pointing this out, i didn't know estonia was so pro-nazi during wwii. meeting is now open. officially condemns the soviets for fighting the nazis, apparently, if you go to their midfield and shout hai hitler, everyone will salute when some posts are illustrated with photographs, you need to see what kind of photo it is, for example, here the ministry of estonia decided to illustrate this with a photo of talin in 1941, and not 1944, only one question remains: who bombed talin in 1941 ? probably everyone knows the answer, nazi germany, this is what it looks like. the famous baltic fleet in kranstatt, where it was then, in principle , locked up almost until the very end of the great patriotic war, then they cleared the mines and are still clearing the baltic, because the germans are there they laid so many mines that it was very difficult for our ships to get out. then it supports our troops, but in fact our fleet was leaving talin, there was a lot there, the germans were chasing it, they bombed talin itself, they bombed the ships as they were leaving and

i will add that this game. we initiated the biggest school reform in estonia since 1991. in the following in six years we will switch to the unified estonian school system, which involves the complete closure of russian-language schools. instead, there will be one unified estonian school for all estonian children. this reform. has numerous advantages, in particular, it provides every student with equal educational opportunities. thus, removing barriers to their success in society. therefore, i consider this change in the school system to be particularly important not only for the russian-speaking minority. as for the latest developments in tallinn politics, they are the result of a long process during which the centrist party was experiencing internal challenges and was trying to find its way. the war and russian aggression against ukraine played a significant role in this, because of which many members of the party felt discomfort and were forced to leave the party. the party's position has weakened significantly, leading to recent changes in municipal politics, includin

but certainly here in estonia they say their neighbours do pose a real threat to the country and that conscription and why they are actually asking other european allies to follow suit and to boost their own military service programmes. but also if you listen to the prime minister here, in our interview with her she was saying that the best thing nato allies could do at this moment is to boost their own spending on defence to hit that figure of 2%. the reality is, though, that this year by nato's own admission only about two—thirds of the 32 countries in the club are set to hit that benchmark figure and that is of concern to the likes of estonia and the other two baltic countries and other nations on russia's doorstep because they say that by boosting military funding, that is the best way to provide deterrents to vladimir putin and, of course, if there were to be an attack, best way of making sure their country's military are in the best possible shape to respond to it. of course, russia for its part rejects any sort of notion that it is looking to attack a nato country at all. weath

so, what does the minister of the interior say. affairs of estonia. given the current context, i, as the minister of internal affairs, have no other choice but to propose to the parliament to declare the moscow patriarchate a terrorist organization that supports terrorism in its activities. minister of internal affairs can apply to the court and offer to stop the activities of the church organization operating here. this will not affect the parishioners, it does not mean that the churches will be closed, but it means... mr. viktor, well, considering the fact that parye believes that the russian orthodox church, and cyril, and the hierarchy of the russian orthodox church are accomplices in the crimes against russia ukraine in the name of the russian world, can we expect that the ukrainian authorities, referring to this pare resolution , can already finish the work that the verkhovna rada has started. of ukraine regarding the definition the status of the branch of the russian orthodox church or the ukrainian orthodox church of the moscow patriarchate, w

, this happened after the minister of internal affairs of estonia laurii lyanemets suggested to the moscow patriarchate that they emerged from the composition of the moscow patriarchate itself, and they said that they are not in fact. of the moscow patriarchate, these are estonian orthodox of the moscow patriarchate, and therefore they cannot be responsible for patriarch kirill. to leave the russian patriarch kirill, they rejected this demand of minister lyainemezzo, and the estonian minister actually said that, taking into account the existing context, i have no other choice but to propose to riga kog, that is the estonian parliament, to declare the moscow patriarchate a terrorist. accordingly, he, the minister of internal affairs, is going to apply to the court in order to stop the activity of this church organization. it will not affect parishioners - he said, the churches will not be closed, but ties with moscow will be severed, the minister emphasized, he emphasized that the moscow patriarchate is subordinate to putin, who controls terrorist activities in the world, and here we remind

estonia, lithuania, poland, by the way, and there is something in the activities of the governments of them non-citizens. 40% of the population of latvia at the initial stage and 30% of the population of estonia. this would be outright deception. and then this deception seemed to continue. and in the next stage, we had the impression here in moscow in the nineties that if latvia and estonia became part of nato or the european union, then of course europe would force them to cancel this shameful ethnocide or genocide. partheid in relation to the russian population, because it will be inconvenient in europe that such states, on the contrary, this european jury, paid for the russophobia of latvia and estonia by supporting these regimes and, as in such cases, the secondary enslavement of the russian population has already occurred within the european union of the nato bloc, which includes these states. it’s clear, well, what’s not very clear to me, academician naumkin, is that these are countries. in central asia, azerbaijan, they were also released, in general, also without any conditions

another thing is that the churches of the moscow patriarchate in estonia have always been attacked. cathedral, which is included in state register of cultural monuments, 100 years ago they were even going to demolish it, they say this symbol of russification towers too much over the old city. so far there are supposedly no such plans. et riigikogu oavalduses. this means that ties with moscow will be severed. the minister of internal affairs pointed out that supposedly this will not affect ordinary citizens, ordinary believers, this is a lie. the fact is that estonian criminal legislation, as well as international legislation, we are talking about european documents on the fight against terrorism, indicates that in the case of recognition of a certain organization as terrorist, and its property will be transferred to its own. state, that is, there will be massive confiscations with the possibility of transfer to other organizations, that is, for example, religious organizations, maybe of an evangelical persuasion, the catholic church, which operates in estonia, which also actually ad

food products in estonia have risen in price by an average of 20%.e department of statistics, the largest increase was shown in prices for olive oil - 29%, as well as for juices, syrups and milk - 24%. previously , sugar prices in the country increased significantly by more than 40%. 80% of estonian residents are not happy with this trend. these are the results of a survey from one of the banks. at the beginning of the year, price growth in the country accelerated greatly, faster than anyone else in the eurozone. at the 5% level. estonians are also concerned about the increased prices for electricity, fuel, heating and housing expenses. the possible suspension of the treaty on conventional armed forces in europe does not mean a withdrawal from the agreement for belarus, but it is a serious signal to its western partners. the balance was lost back in the late nineties, when arms parity was violated due to the fact that the countries of the former warsaw pact joined nato. however, the west is no stranger to... every belarus should do for their country,

estonia's prime minister kaja kallas says conscription is essential to winning the war.like norway and denmark have recently increased the number of conscripted soldiers. the bbc�*s europe correspondent nick beake is in estonia's second largest city tartu, with more on how the war in ukraine is changing military preparedness. this city, tartu is actually a european capital of culture this year and that status is reflected in the genteel and relaxed vibe this place has. certainly there is no sense of any panic and when you talk to people here you do not pick up on real concern that they could the russian aggression anytime soon. but certainly here in estonia they say their neighbours do pose a real threat to the country and that is why they have this system of conscription and why they are actually asking other european allies to follow suit and to boost their own military service programmes. but also if you listen to the prime minister here, in our interview with her she was saying that the best thing nato allies could do at this moment is to boost their own spending on

estonia is also preparing for war.u so alexey petrovich, firstly, allow me from yekaterinburg, from our spectators, he has been waiting for you for a month and a half, please tell me, you said that this is the eastern nato’s flank is the advanced, yes, military power of estonia, which wants to destroy everything for us 12,700, i don’t remember, how serious is this, how is this taken into account in some nato plans? you know, this is taken into account as a couple of units, and even this minister of defense of estonia, he is not talking about the armed forces of estonia, he is talking about the nato forces that will participate in this strike, that is, he does not expect that estonia will independently do this will be able to implement, besides, those complexes that are called there are those that they deployed some in estonia on a rotational basis, well, here is the emiri air base, which periodically... is the most prepared, but they still understand that these are the iskanders that are stationed in the kaliningrad re

the bells of the alexander nevsky cathedral in tallinn, the main orthodox church in estonia, are nowcement by local authorities. in a russophobic frenzy, the baltic republic wants to recognize the russian church a terrorist organization, no matter how monstrous it may sound. patriarchy is terrorist and supports terrorism in its activities, i, as the minister of internal affairs, have no choice but to invite ridikogu to admit this. rigekogu, the estonian parliament, is located. just opposite the orthodox cathedral, at the end of the 19th century, the temple was erected by order of the governor of iceland, specifically so that the facade of his palace looked exactly at the church, now instead of the governor , deputies sit there, to whom the police hand out orders, otherwise, it is difficult to name the words of the head of the estonian ministry of internal affairs, we would not like to think anything about such statements, in any case, the statement of this gentleman can hardly be classified as the smartest statements. the balts are persistently trying. make religious communities, chu

as a new member and also estonia, we kept supporting them because we were more than sure about their capabilities to do this job impartially. and also uphold the principles and values of the organization, especially keeping ukraine at the center of each and every discussion in vienna and beyond. and since our constant work up to the very last minute did not materialize and a consensus to have estonia chair the organization, one possible, or the only possible agreement of the participant states could agree on what was more. we are military as an trite and are constitution but definitely we're not politically neutral to those breaching u.n. charters and international law. we decided to step in because the osce is still very relevant and we do need an organization that yes, in its name is focusing on europe, but it's beyond our continent because among 57 bodies face near states, canada, but also central asia which i think are very important partners in this organization. what do we need from the united states? well, i would say from each and every participating state, the fact that 56 s

with a rotational principle of control of these united nuclear forces, then there is france today, estoniaw, latvia the day after tomorrow, poland there and beyond circle, until quite, so to speak, real, the french, well, as the germans write, offered to finance germany, so to speak. development of the french nuclear complex in exchange for expanded guarantees of deterrence and cover by germany, but the truth was immediately said that it is unlikely that the germans, with their deep distrust of france and, even more so, with their deep distrust of macron’s attempts to take a leading position in the european union, will go for this option. macron proposes. patrolling with nuclear weapons on board rafale aircraft over the territory to implement, to begin the implementation of the so-called eastern flank, well, the idea, of course, so to speak, it is implementable, but this will be so to speak, i didn’t understand at all, that is, they take nuclear weapons from warehouses and load them on board with nuclear weapons on board. national romania, bulgaria and turkey, declare everything else a no-

russia, well, we hope to be accurate, honest guys, here goes on, today they are such patriots of estoniae in the interests of the estonian people and estonian independence, today in the center of kiev to... work, who will, there’s no one to work with, that’s the key thing, again, they say, there’s no demography, there’s no economy, the key phrase was said by one of the professors, he said to this former minister, he says, do you really think that we will be accepted in such an incomplete form to the european union, without industrial donbass, without crimea from sevastopol, but we are not needed, they will never accept us, they will accept us, they will accept us like they will accept gods, that’s what they promised, right? who do you think, according to the ukrainian institute of national policy, among all russian writers, is closest to the kremlin’s justification of ethnocide in ukraine, but given that i read vladimir vladimovich kornilov, i’m afraid that it is mikhail afananovich bulgakov, so what? the most interesting thing is, this is what should be in your head, so i’ll just read o

estonia talks about that it also has the ability to provide about 1 million ammunition for the ukrainians where they can be bought, the question now is only financing, and this initiative does not overlap with the initiative. does not overlap with orders for the production of ammunition in european countries, that is, in general , the ministry of defense of estonia says that if there are funds, then by the end of the year , the ukrainian army can receive an amount of ammunition that will not be inferior to that of the russian army. this trend is extremely positive, the issue of money is that we have a peace support fund there, in which funds were directed there european countries there are within the limits of 5 billion plus, so i think that the process, in particular, which concerns the renewal of ammunition, is quite positive and develops in a geometric progression, when we talk about other types of equipment that the armed forces need, then we will also consider here on the initiative of both germany and france, which promises to transfer all equipment that is removed from armaments t

before this struggle began, it must be said that the west germans, in fact, believed territory of estonia, territory of latvia. after this penetration acquired a more aggressive character, bishop meimgard, who was appointed by the pope to the bishopric, interestingly, exkul in russia, that is, this territory was considered as if already russia, there is ruthenium, to be precise, who brought christianity to livonia, he was at first, he concluded an agreement with the livs, and, accordingly, he began to build stone castles there, on the territory of christianized tribes, but... he was not satisfied with the christian zeal of these tribes, uh, they even threatened to kill him, and his successor , bishop berthold schulte, was distinguished by even greater zeal, which ended with him being killed 2 years after he became bishop after the death of his successor in 1698, which in turn led to the first crusade to the baltic lands against the pagans, of course, these are not the same crusades that were against the arabs, but for the liberation of the holy sepulcher, but subsequently... it must be sa

estonia has found a million shells for ukraine, but money is needed for their purchase, the country's defense minister hannu pevkur said. the cost of ammunition is from two to 3 billion euros (shells can be bought both in europe and outside its borders), by combining the czech initiative and the estonian one, ukraine will be able to receive up to 2.5 million shells this year, but the condition is that the allies allocate funds for this. and in poland, polling stations for local self-government elections have opened. poles about 47 thousand will be elected. deputies of local levels, as well as almost 25 mayors, burgomasters and mayors of cities, this is the first test for the parties that entered the pro-european coalition government of prime minister donald tusk after almost a decade of rule by representatives of the law and justice party. tens of thousands of people took to the central street of budapest to oppose the government of prime minister viktor. orban's people marched to the parliament, demanding the resignation of the head of government. the action was led by 43-year-old pe

i always love pointing out that in 1920, there were british troops in estonia helping estonia during russian civil war, depending estonia, helping them get their independence. before the e.u. was even thought of course and in 2020, when the u.k. legally lef the -- left the european union, there are again british troops in estonia doing a similar thing. i think we have all moved on past the brexit issue. the fourth one is -- fourth point i want to make is the depletion of kaliningrad. we don't know how many munitions and pieces of equipment that were dedicated or allocated or prepositioned there, that has been shifted to ukraine. but if we look at the general trend of russian losses, we must know that what exists or what is available for the defense there today has to be a lot less than what was there in january of 2022. this plays an important role in how we plan for contingencies in the northern european region. the fourth point is the reduction and capabilities of the baltic sea fleet and specifically i mean the class assault ships, three of which from the baltic sea fleet were tra

unsuccessful. the offensive of the armed forces of ukraine and the machine gun, i remember how first estoniaermans, then the poles, in the end, the entire collective west, it was the european union that united, said, no, we will not hand over to you a single person who could take a gun, we will not hand over to you those who could have been drafted, we are better, they work for us, boost our economy, and we will give you part of this earnings in the form of help. so that i don’t know a single decision of the government or the european union as a whole or a country that would say, yes, here we are, we are sending everyone we have back to war, this is the second, and now the third, volodya, but the facts that , let's give one fact, it means that the tisza river, it is large, the river flows into the danube, it is slightly spread across the territory of the transcarpathian region, it is replenished a little... at the top the snow remains, there is still sub-zero temperature and so on, the snow melts and so, one guy was caught, he walked 70 km in 6 days, well, he didn’t control it, he wasn’t cau

was ceded by a knight, in addition, the danes were still advancing there from the north of estonia,ut this campaign was unsuccessful; in 1234, troops of the swordsmen near yuriev were destroyed and by whom? novgorod prince yaroslav vsevladovich, that is, the father of our hero alexander nevsky, in 1237 the remnants of the order of the sword, literally the remnants, there were only a few dozen knights left, together with their assistants, found themselves in the role of the livonian order. and the new order initially began to seek an alliance with the new prince alexander yaroslavovich, who would later become alexander nevsky, against a common enemy, against lithuania. the lithuanian tribes then, this is a very serious, this is a serious union of tribes, which competed with the russian princes, which opposed this union of pagan tribes, opposed the movement from the west, respectively, catholicism, and... an alliance against it seemed very relevant for the livonian order, but it did not work out. there is another very important point, how the livonians, the livonian order, moved to th

so what does the minister of the interior of estonia say? given the current context, i, as the minister of internal affairs, have no other choice but to propose to the parliament to declare the moscow patriarchate a terrorist organization that supports terrorism in its activities. the minister of internal affairs can apply to the court. and to propose to stop the activities of the church organization operating here, it will not affect the parishioners, it is not means that the temples will be closed, but it means that the ties with moscow will be severed. mr. viktor, considering that pare believes that the russian orthodox church and cyril and the hierarchy of the russian orthodox church are complicit in russia's crimes against ukraine in the name of the russian world, can we expect... that the ukrainian authorities, referring to this pare's resolution, can already complete the work started by the verkhovna rada of ukraine regarding the determination of the status of the filia, russian orthodox church or the ukrainian orthodox church of the
