Estonia and the Memory of the Soviet Union

The best article I've read on this subject.

Yesterday was Independence Day; today we celebrated at the corps in a BIG way.

Next Sunday is Election Day, and today I urged everyone to vote as their Christian duty. Many of us in the corps have our own favorite party (okay, mine's IRL!) -- but what matters is that we vote, not that we all agree.

As I talk and say things like "we Estonians" I mean it very strongly, though of course I'm just a foreigner, an American, an outsider. But in my heart, I feel a very strong reaction to this statue.

May God give us all peace and wisdom to work to make a better Estonia! Kõige eest! (For everyone!)
