Great video and not to put a damper on it in any way but worth noting that the ‘Soviet Era’ was through forced occupation, not by choice. Estonians never wanted to be a part of the USSR and suffered tremendously throughout the occupation. More than 15% of the population was killed or deported and economic development on standstill for 50 years. Our language and culture aren’t similar to russian.

[@ConcordDown]

it wasn't forced. Sadly US and UK gave us up to USSR as part of the agreement to assist them in fight against Japan :/ but we did not wish to be part of the USSR that's true.

[@mjfan653]

Thats what forced means. The russians forced a soviet occupation on Estonia. Also Latvia, Lithuania. Also a de facto occupation of europe up to east germany. The forcing went quickly, because 1944 red army had a lot of power, while Estonian army was lost in the whirlwind of ww2. Estonians tried to arrange a new army, but even getting food was hard, getting guns was dificult, and finding young men who werent already forced into german/russian army was hard. So Estonia was forcefully occupied, firstly already in 1940, but again in 1941 and 1944.

[@KohaAlbert]

​@@ConcordDown yes, ussr crap was very much forced upon.

[@ConcordDown]

@@mjfan653 You probably forgot how it all went, Russia was pushing back Germany as they moved towards Berlin. And when the war was over England and United States signed a agreement that allowed Russia to keep those territories if they aided them in War against Japan.

As a Finn, I'd say that Estonia indeed produces the best beer in Northern Europe. Also, if you come back to Finland, you should try an ancient beer variety called sahti. Sahti is the oldest type of beer still in production. It can't be exported, because it gets spoiled within a week, and it gets spoiled even before that, if stored in a warm temperature, or shaken.

Correction. us Estonians are not Slavs. We are also not Balts like Latvians or Lithuanians even though together we are the 3 Baltic countries, but that is only through geography. Our language sits in the same language tree as Finnish and our culture is Nordic with some German influences due to historic reasons. During the past 600+ years Estonia has been ruled by Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Germany, and Russia. All have left their own influences.

[@brasni1]

Your first Estonian Saku beer, canned, you got already in Tampere on the 1. of May. I saw you walking with it in your hand in the video. It was fun for me to see the Viru Hotel. It is built by a Finnish construction company in the early 1970, and my Finnish Godfather was a foreman and a construction engineer for the build. He told us already then about the whole floor reserved for espionage and KGB. He lived some years in Tallin during the building process. He said that it was a nightmare. The corruption and theft of all the building materials took his health and nerves.

[@AllHailMafakas]

Just as a fun fact of the day for you. The theft, gang wars and everything related to those ended with the 90s.

[@robertparn8835]

The last part about corruption- it was totally normal all over Soviet Union. I am Estonian in my 30s and I have heard so many crazy stories about cronyism, bribery and theft (from state and your employer) from my parents and grandparents. It’s one of many reasons why it was so hard for us to get rid of this poisonous mindset in the 90s and why many post communist countries are still so messed up. Look at Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, Moldova and so on. I think only Baltics have made big progress, but we are still much more corrupt than Nordics and Western Europe.

At this point, we cannot fail to note that during the Soviet era in Estonia, most of the orders from Moscow were not fulfilled or their fulfillment was marked. At the same time, things were done the way they used to be, their language, culture and traditions were preserved. Even during the Soviet era, Tallinn was not like other Soviet cities, gray and boring, even from Petersburg, that is Leningrad at that time, people traveled to Estonia as if they were "abroad". If we had not been so stubborn and principled, we would probably have become Russia, like most of the "republics" of the USSR. We did very well...

Estonian history is very complex and can't be told generally. For example almost the entire time Estonia was in the Russian Empire, it was actually ruled by Germans that were there since the crusades. That is why you had sauerkraut with bloodsausage as sauerkraut is a German dish that became popular with locals. German culture has had overwhelmingly biggest effect on Estonia. Next is the North Germanics as that connection has been there for thousands of years. And in current times I think American is replacing whatever we have left from Russian culture. As for sauna, I don't think I ever tire of repeating that saunas are not Finnish but Finnic in origin. The idea is thousands of years old. Estonia and Finland with some remnant groups in Russia are part of the Finno-Ugric group.

Have a great time guys, try and make it to Tartu which is quite lovely and a bit less touristy.

[@HelenGolovina-y9h]

Afetr torturing yourself with a marathon (cannot understand why people would do a thing like that :) anything will taste good and feel good. Just not running anymore would feel like the best thing you have ever experienced. I remember my camping trips with my dog Etna we would have where our summer house was. She would lead the way, decide the route and the length. And mostly she chose 9 or 10 house walks. Except that they were not walks because we moved in her running paste. And after that, whatever I ate, tasted like the best thing in the world. (She is in heaven now)

Yes, it really weird to see so many people falling for tourist trap. Price is one thing. But they have absolutely no atmosphere, no soul, these places. Some cheap furniture thrown in the street, and not in the most interesting parts of the Old Town. The tourists tend to limit their visit to only a few streets of the Old Town. Estonian food? There is no such thing. I am too lazy right now to explain why but trust me. The real Estonian food, the one from the times before the Danes and the Germans and the Swedes and the Russians, yes, but trust me, you would not want to eat that. Seriously. I really recommend Olde Hansa restaurant. You will get the vibe of mediaeval Tallinn in there with all your senses. It is also expensive, but it is worth it. They also have a street section if you must eat in the street. Personally I do not prefer being in the elements while eating, I like to be inside, also in summer. I am not connected to Olde Hansa in any way, I am not promoting them. I just really recommend it from my heart. It is not a cheap tourist trap while it works very ell for tourists. And the locals as well. I go there sometimes when I feel lik eI can afford it. Because it IS expensive

It was the Finns, who gave the idea to build the Viru Hotel-or Finland's president at the time did, as in Urho Kekkonen, and it was the Finns who built the hotel: "Original Sokos Hotel Viru - check into the legend". Finnish tourists traveled to the Soviet Union during the Cold War, so Finns knew what it was like there: "What Did Soviets Think Of The Finnish Tourists in Leningrad?". The Soviets were tried to keep in the dark what it was like in the West: "DJahv Disco and Atomic War - Trailer". The geopolitics and Finland's trade with the Soviet Union led to all sort of things. E.g. the Soviets played with Finnish sticks in 72' Summit Series. From CBC Sports columnist Malcolm Kelly report after the Game 4: "So, here we are. Down 1-2-1 to a team that all wears helmets (everyone?), can't find enough matching gloves to be presentable and uses hockey sticks made in Finland, of all places (Does anyone know if Koho is a person, a place, or a thing?)."

There is historical speculation here in Estonia, how Danes actually got their flag. 8 centuries ago, there were no permanent lighthouses on Baltic Sea. If you wanted to enter harbor without crashing your vessel on some shallow, you had to do it during the daylight. Hints were red and white striped flags at harbors, well visible for people with good eyesight seamile away. So Danes attacked us from the sea, and stole our striped harbor flag, which was common around Baltic harbors back then. As it probably would have been ridiculous story back in Denmark, they claimed that it had cross on it (Christianity was popular back then in Europe and Danes wanted to represent themselves as Christians to fit in). Stealing part probably wasn't sexy as well, so they said that it fell from the sky. If you're Dane, don't be offended. I know some Danes, and i like them. Mild and reasonable people. But everyone likes to brag about their adventures abroad even nowadays, although it is easy to prove that they are lying.

[4:01] Sauna is just as much an Estonian tradition as it is a Finnish one. (Well, to be fair, it's common to several North European peoples.) We sometimes feel a little cross with the Finnish because they succeeded first in making the sauna famous in the world, so now every major language uses the Finnish word "sauna" instead of the Estonian "saun" and think that the sauna is something uniquely Finnish. [5:54] This is a stadium used by several schools in the neighborhood, including the one I went to. [8:06] Bacon and sauerkraut are the usual add-ons to blood sausage these days. (I wouldn't know about the past centuries.) [10:05] Ancient Estonians were actually ones who kicked the Vikings' asses. The latter conquered large areas east and northeast of Estonia, but they were unable to establish themselves in Estonia, apart from some northwestern coastal stripes. It was, as you correctly say, not until the 13th-14th century (by which time the former Viking countries had long become Christian) that Estonia was conquered by the united forces of the German crusaders and Denmark after a hundred years of tough fighting.

Estonians have never felt Russian because Estonians are very different from Russians. Estonians have been living in Estonia for 9,000 years and Russia has only existed since the Middle Ages in any shape or form. Russians only took Estonia from Sweden in the 18th century. You also forgot to mention the German nobility that actually ruled Estonia from the Middle Ages until the first independence. Before the 20th century, the German nobility communicated with Russians. There were also few Russians in Estonia before WWII, most of them military people or merchants living in cities. Estonians were mainly farmers living in the country, so had hardly any contact with Russians.
