Estonia’s large Russian-speaking minority used to be taught in Russian. The government has responded to Russia’s invasion with a reform to end this. Now, lessons will only be taught in Estonian.

    Neither the video nor I am talking about a large-scale cultural change.

    It doesn’t need to have “large-scale cultural change” written on it to be large-scale cultural change. It’s nearly guaranteed there’s more coming where this came from. This whole thing stinks of WWII Japanese internment camps.

    Besides, the Estonians are the natives.

    Why does that matter?

    Less than a hundred years ago, Russia made them a satellite country and treated native Estonians like second class citizens.

    Yeah and screw them for that. However, this is a whole generation ago; Russian-speaking children today have nothing to do with that.

    If this is indeed part of a de-Russification plan, Estonia is only doing it to prevent being invaded and wiped out.

    Estonia the… EU country? Are you kidding me?

    Russia already has their own country. Their culture is safe.

    Again replace Russian with Arabic and see if your argument makes sense.
