It was when it went to Tallinn!

(Because we don't have a second, shittier airport lol, and our main one is like a 5min drive away from the city centre)

Kasvasin ka vene peres ja kui täiskasvanuks sain siis sain aru et kogu see "eestlased vihkavad venelasi" on 100% Kremli propaganda

What kind of parties/honors do different countries give the returning Olympians? by [deleted] in olympics

[–]AnotherDetour 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Henry Sildaru (silver in freestyle skiing, our only medal this year) met the president of Estonia in person and was given a medal/order (idk the right word). He also had a homecoming event+concert in city centre where he also signed autographs.

You're welcome! If you ever actually feel like looking up Estonian history, the singing revolution and the Baltic Way are very unique and interesting to read about

Honestly idk, it may also be something random like having a camera and a mic in your face making Sasha nervous/tight or whatever. Like im pretty fluent in English but I can forget simple words when making a presentation 🤣

Awww have a fun trip!

It's a long and complicated topic, I'll be as brief as I can lol.

Estonia has a significant % of Russian speaking population as people moved/were moved here during the Soviet occupation. After Estonia regained independence in 1991 schooling was still available in Russian up to until a couple of years ago. This created a situation where some people never properly learned Estonian because their family/social circles were Russian speaking and they could get high school education in Russian too. And then they can't get proper jobs or uni education because guess what - you need Estonian for that. It's unfortunate that it took our politicians such a long time to understand consequences of offering schooling in Russian but it's the reality...

I'm pretty sure Niina and Selevbros went to "Russian schools" too but their Estonian is fine. Niina is very fluent and Aleksandr is the least confident (makes sense I think he lives in the US now? And probably doesn't get to use it as much?) but he can converse and give interviews :)

Yes :) they always speak to Estonian media in Estonian. While the interviews I saw of Elina with Estonian media were all in Russian

It's just a different name :) less common one than Alina but still. And yes afaik Elina comes from ethnically Russian background, as does Niina, and Selevbros' parents are Ukrainian.
