| well if u take a look at the estonian constitution u would see that the russian population is not considered to be citizens and are not allowed to vote. this may sound bad, but, the russian" minority" raises to more that 50 percent of estonia's population...so, unless the estonians choose to have a all-russian parliament and a russian president, of course they had to stop them from voting. also. the baltic states are not exacly the best frinds of russia. if u can remember the chechen case related to one of these states...amazing economic trick they pulled then...not much place left for love |
