Lembitu, I have a question about the Ukrainian minority in the Baltic. Ukrainians sympathisized with the Balts in '90-91 and naturally saw you guys as allies in dismembering the Union. How is the Ukrainian minority in Estonia, do they side with you or Russians?

Do they have the balls to push the Ukrainian as the official language?

Ukrains who are living in Estonia make big difference between them and russians. They speak russian overall, but I think that this is because of lack of knowledge in ukraine language. I really dont know at whos side they are because I havent talk with them in this kind of subject.
But I havent heard a word of makeing ukraine language as official language. There are too few of them to make such demand, same for russians.
I have many ukrains as friends and I must say that they are nice people.

Of course Ukrainians wouldn't be pushing the official language, I like to believe we have more decency.
But Russians not pushing for the official language is quite a suprise to me, since everyone knows wherever a Russian is, it's Russian land.

Mazepa you got the right point. I know no other nation who will after immigration demand their language as official language. I hope that russian people who are living in their homes in Russia have more common sense.
And Mazepa if you want to visit Estonia then let me know. I can arrange you nice tour around our little country.

i say the good old way we used to have and that should be reconsidered, we can role those westerners, well superpower like us wont be easily to play with...

i know every idea is crazy at the beginning but get used to it...

my fellow slavs, please write your opinions...

Dude, what kind of crap are you smoking?
Poland, Belarus, Ukraine, etc absolutely have no intention or liking of Russia.
China? Well good luck, they have their own agenda.
Your old ally India is now neutral; they are slowly allying with UK and US

Who else do you have? No body. USSR is gone.

Marita, if your side is doing the same to innocents on their side then I fail to see why Russia is on the high moral ground in this conflict. Your country's support for separatists in Georgia and Moldova who are trying to break away from Georgia and Moldova shows clear double-standards on your part where separatism is concerned.

Aren't you showing the same double-standards while speaking about Chechnya and sympathizing Chechens?
