世界の小さな国「エストニア共和国」

Estonia

1.5 million people live in Eesti (Estonia), 61.5% Estonians, 30% Russians. Since 1940, large numbers of people have immigrated into Estonia from parts of the Soviet Union, specially in the 60s and 70s. Their lingua franca usually is Russian and they make up the vast majority of the present-day non-Estonian population. They have mainly settled in the big industrial cities of the North-East (Narva, Sillamäe, Kohtla-Järve, Jõhvi), the capital Tallinn and the town and peninsula of Paldiski. Besides that, there is also an original Russian minority in Estonia, as well as a Swedish minority, and an Estonian group, the Voro-Setu, linguistically distinguished.
