we wanted and could not understand that other people might have other sanctuaries. Raul Kalev is of the opinion that the surest way out of the situation in Estonia is the attempt to understand each other, the desire to learn the history, customs and sacred sites to know the people who live next to us.
I'm Este. A half weeks ago I defended my home which is 150m from Aljosha. I was seized by the police and after I was first beaten up sharply has, I was festgnommen and spent the night in a cell. Like many other Estonians and Russians. Before, I would never believe that I am standing on the porch while I look up to, that the rioters do not hit my window, I must fear before the representatives of the government.
When it became clear the next day that I am not a criminal, I was, of course, has apologized freigelassen.Allerdings is not available from me, as a police officer said, I myself am guilty that I live in the place where to stay I should not.
Why it happened just as many Russians still do not understand and many Estonians. This makes things more difficult because even if it does not tell us that it will not talk to us. But one thing is clear-both ordinary people did not like, both the government's behavior, and what did rioters and marauders.
Hidden Estonisation
I have a lot both with Estonians than to do with Russians, and know perfectly well that many of us the memory of the Second World War is important. One third of Estonians who fought in the Red Army, but for Estonians, this war was unfortunately never holy. Why? Because who fought in that war, another third in the German army and the last third that stayed hidden in the forest.
The people have experienced in this most terrible war-dieVäter fought against sons, one in the German Mundie, the other in sowjetischen.Die losses of the Estonian people in the second World War II were great, but they could not be comparing two of the post-war losses, a quarter of the population of Estonia to Siberia was taken away. But not as tourists but to suffer and die.
for Example I have my grandfather in 1953, here, lost in Estonia. He was a forester, Russians have shot him in front of his wife and children because he has given to men in the woods hiding the food. Where he is buried, I do not know to this day.
One more detail. Estonians and other Baltic nations have not experienced the horrors of Nazism to the extent as it was known in Europe or Russia. There, they killed, burned, raped, here they have more or less filled at home (Estonia was at least several hundred years among the Germans, here knew their language and culture) and have performed well. As our grandmothers have told the Germans who helped the locals. One should understand
that most Estonians have felt safer with the Germans, they had insane fear of Russian occupation. Therefore, it is so that the people of memory differs from the second world war in Russia, Europe and Pribaltik much.
The Russians have no leader
What has led the government to such ugly deeds? Maybe they have not managed to Sitauation to correctly and effectively to focus on the provocateurs. In addition, they have not made it to the people to explain their behavior.
I myself had long Time the impression that the government has set a goal to win the additional votes for a while and not simply driven hat.Nun mischief, for which I have spoken to many responsible people, I understand that the problem lay elsewhere.
The government has become afraid. And given the green light to the Estonian provocateurs who could interpret it as the official revenge for 50 years of occupation. The comments on the estischsprachigen portals go in that direction.
And there was no way back, you had to respect the election promises. If the Russians had a leader, something would not happen, I'm sure.
Another fault of the President and the Prime Minister, that they could not tell the people what is in reality the Bronze Soldier means. I've written before about it. And I am of the opinion that to talk about the Bronze Soldier as a symbol of the occupation is not correct.
For ordinary people, he was never a symbol of occupation and a symbol of the empire he was not, as some intellectuals have perhaps done.
For a simple Russian people it was a holy place, it was their memory, their Ehrengebung the Soviet soldiers who fought in 1941-1945 years there. The soldier is a symbol of bravery and freedom. As symbols of violence were Stalin, Lenin, and perhaps Brezhnev. For some, perhaps Putin but the soldier - never.
