So Tallinn was great despite the relentless cold. It was so cold that the sea froze for up to like 400 m off the coast so I got to walk across a frozen sea, which was dope. I visited a museum that had portraits of Lenin and Stalin to my surprise and it was 't overly negative of the Soviet Union.
I did notice that I got a lot of pro EU ads on my social media feed while being here so I wonder if the EU has got a campaign going over here. Lots of Ukraine flags everywhere too. The Russian embassy here was plastered with it. There was also a poster of the socialist heads with Putin next to it saying something like ‘no more communism again’ which was just hilariously shitty. I started to wonder if their support for Ukraine only comes from a deep hatred of Russians. Which is weird because like 1 in 4 people in Tallinn is Russian. Never heard this much Russian spoken anywhere.
Russian-speakers in Estonia? And in such a large quantity too… That’s quite interesting.
Did you see where ZA/UM is based or their headquarters anywhere (before they inevitably turned shitty by firing their head writers)?
Yeah there are like 200k+ Russian (speaking) people in Estonia. The total population is 1.3 million so it’s a sizeable amount of people as well. Half of them live in Tallinn.
Didn’t see such thing really.
Ah, got it.
im glad u had a good time !!! walking on a frozen sea sounds awesomesauce
