Jan 8, 2012 - If it wasn't for Finnish/Russian holiday drunks, Estonia would just be another hellish popped property bubble like Latvia/Lithuania. There's no future in these countries, Estonian will be an endangered language before the century ends.

Jan 8, 2012 - hahahaahaha ohh the irony, estonians wanted to have their country and now they are bought up by russians but russians dont care they just want free visa :DD Estonia is supposed to be richer than russia how is this situation possible in the eurozone?? Estonians dont like russians in their country so they should be glad about it so why they complain?? Retarded country doesnt know what it wants.

Jan 13, 2012 - How is Russians/Ukranians buying some of the apartments in dump areas got anything to do with the rest of the country? Bought up by Russians? Looks more to me like Russians buying garbage cheap flats in the poorest areas and living in them. And that's all what it is.

Jan 15, 2012 - There are miserable hellholes everywhere.And for the russian(s) going: "DAHUURRR DAT POOR", just to inform them, that the incompe per person in Tallinn, the capital, is 115% of the EU's arverage.I'd like to see them achieve that in a city with 400k citizens.

Jan 16, 2012 - @maximummask But we had a property bubble pop years ago. And our language is endangered even now as we are below the return point of some scale that points out if a language is dieing. If Russians and Fins wouldn't come we would lose a chunk of our income but what matters is that we are doing better than Russia. As a smaller nation we can innovate faster and grow our gdp.

Jan 21, 2012 - Oh please, during the occupations, the three countries have been in a much worse situation. Of course we have our problems, but we are doing fine and a nation of one million doesn't become extinct in one century... I myself might live in 1 century :D

eksiarvamus Says:

Jan 21, 2012 - So according to you Estonia is like the only country that has run-down areas. Life in the cities and in the area around them is better than ever. It's logical that when the Soviet era factories in immigrant-filled towns are closed, noone wants to live there anymore.

Feb 12, 2012 - dude youre poor its proven fact, all baltics are poor, Russia has higher gdp per capita now than Lithuania and Latvia, Estonia should be surpassed in 2015 imf says so, and Russia is big country while the baltics used to be one of the richest areas in the SU. All these industries fed the Union and now they are all gone with unemployment of 14% or what ever you have now. Russians live in all areas of Estonia.

meProudToBeCaucasian Says:

Feb 12, 2012 - so they are immigrants for you?? Are White Africans also immigrants in african countries after their rule collapsed??? Why they arent leaving poor african countires and go to their richer European countries like Britain??? Youre a dumbass and thats the reason why the baltics are so poor now. You guys hold back unity in your country, is a country not united, then it is poor and weak.
