On the 22nd of September 1944, Estonia's resistance against the occupying Soviet forces and the fight for a free and democratic Estonia began. World War Two didn't really end for Estonians until 1991 when Estonia restored its independence. Today at sunrise students raised the Estonian flag atop of Pikk Hermann Tower to commemorate the day.
Ilus Eesti, beautiful Estonia. My family's homeland. Estonia's countryside and people have an endearing gentleness about them which you fall in love with slowly and imperceptibly. I have nothing but respect and admiration for Estonians' courage and determination to survive despite centuries of repression, tyranny and foreign occupation. This blog aims to promote Estonian news, history and culture and seeks to enlighten readers about everything this unique country has to offer.
