Today we celebrate the 105th anniversary of the armistice between Estonia and Soviet Russia, that marked victory for Estonia in the War of Independence. 6000 volunteers lost their lives during the Estonian War of Independence that took place between 28 November 1918 – 2 February 1920. Today we honour all those brave men who fought to secure Estonia's freedom.
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.
