What do its neighbors think about Russia?
Estonian President Kersti Kaljulaid called Russia a difficult neighbor. Speaking at the celebration of Estonia's Independence Day, Kaljulaid in her speech tried to invent her own classification of neighboring countries:
- said Kalyulayd.
She added that this complex neighbor "does not go unnoticed even when for several decades we have been disappointed."
Of course, this “difficult neighbor” is precisely Russia. There can be no doubt about this, especially given the difficult relations between Moscow and the Baltic countries - the former Republics of the Soviet Union. If you look back, these relations were especially acute at the time when the question of dismantling the Bronze Soldier, a memorial to the Soviet soldiers who fell in the struggle against fascism, was being decided in Tallinn. It was in the spring of 2007. Then, during the unrest provoked by the Estonian police, the Russian Dmitry Ganin was killed, for which no one has yet been held accountable.
And if we don’t go into history, then recently the current President of Estonia Kersti Kaljulaid has repeatedly allowed herself to make anti-Russian statements. For example, during the celebration of Independence Restoration Day last year (yes, yes, in this small but proud country there are two similar holidays: Independence Day on February 24 and August 20), the head of state focused on the “occupation” of Estonia by Soviet troops. It was the word “occupation” that was heard most often in her “fiery” speech.
In an interview with RT, the Director of the Center political Alexey Mukhin commented on the next trick of the Estonian president as follows:
Speaking about the Baltic countries as a whole, Mukhin emphasized that they “reanimated the Nazism virus” and “destroyed the industrial the economy"Of the Soviet period, because of which" they live on EU subsidies. "
Joining the words of the political scientist, it remains to add that if Russia is a “difficult neighbor”, then all the more it does not need to be provoked every time by various petty tricks.
But among the admirers of "Estonian independence" was the ecologist Evgeny Chirikov, widely known in liberal circles. Currently, she lives in this Baltic state. She even hung an Estonian flag at home, which she boasted on her Facebook blog. Circus, and only!
We have different neighbors. There are democratic ones, but not very. Companions by fate from the last century and those with whom we are keeping up today. We also have one difficult neighbor

When the neighbors are very poor and very dependent on you or begin to depend not on you, but on someone else and look with envy at your achievements, they say different bad words
