Erratics in Estonia

Posted by Matt in June 12th, 2007

While Russian bullying of Estonia is a threat to that country, it is also troubling for Europe and the West in general. Estonia has been supportive of other former Russian puppet states, helping them develop their economies and democratic institutions, which strengthens their ties to the West. This has made them an impediment to Putin’s plans for empire. It seems clear that he hopes to intimidate Estonia into abandoning their efforts and that Russian abuse of Estonia is a warning to other former-puppet states to bend to Russian will. Estonia also appears to be an experiment for Putin with which he can test how aggressive Russia can be before its energy exports and trade possibilities are deemed too expensive for Europe. While Russians seem to enjoy inflicting this kind of thuggery, believing it just a demand for the respect it deserves, the West is becoming increasingly unsettled by Putin’s Russia. For America, the issues of concern include Russian support for Iran, its trade in advanced weaponry, its suppression of human rights, and its resistance to the deployment of an anti-missile shield in Poland and the Czech Republic, both NATO nations.

European Journal | Estonia: Renewed fears over Russia
The war over the border between Russia and Georgia has revived bad memories in the Baltic States. 18 years ago, Moscow tried to prevent the independence of Latvia, Lithuania and Estonia by force of arms. Now the Baltic countries feel threatened once more, fearing that Russia could move against them under the pretext of protecting Russian minorities. The situation is especially tense in Estonia. A year ago, the removal of a Soviet military monument from the centre of Tallinn provoked serious riots.
