The Soviet posterThe Soviet posterMember of the Estonian parliament, Social Democrat Jaak Allik recently declared that Russia has never attacked Estonia and that repeat such a "fallacy" is stupid and fear-mongering.

In a commentary to the media Allik stressed that Russia had never attacked Estonia alone, but that the conflicts had regional wars as background always involving other countries.

Ansip summarized the meeting by commenting: "At today's summit, the Estonian side made no reproach to the Russian Federation, nor the Russiajn side to Estonia. Perhaps previously we have been overly sensitive."

On her right, husband Dr. Peeter Põldre. Photo by Taavi Tamtik. Estonian parliamentarian Yana Toom has claimed it's inevitable that the Estonian language is slated for extinction. It's the inevitability aspect of the prediction that is an ongoing cause of anxiety.

To date no strategy has been successful in combating a shrinking population, diverting young people from embracing the allure of opportunities abroad nor the global invasion of the English language. Many experts have grimly forecast the inevitable extinction of languages that have fewer than one million mother tongue speakers.

The big event of the past winter has been the commemoration of the 70th anniversary of the end of the battle of Stalingrad.

Cover of a study done for ROTC unit at university: Arved Plaks' archive.Cover of a study done for ROTC unit at university: Arved Plaks' archive.In 1949 we immigrated to the United States, and found temporary accommodations in a summer cabin near Bethel, Connecticut. Despite my broken English, I was enrolled in Bethel High school's tenth grade after only a week. This experience was a very new and exciting one. I recall how kind all the teachers and students were to me. Perhaps they wanted to compensate for the deprivations of the war, but whatever the reason, people bent over backwards to make me feel welcome. I recall names of teachers I never got to thank: Mrs. Carroll (Literature), Mrs. Bishop (Chemistry), Mr. Pointen (Shop) and Mr. Peachy, the principal. Whenever I knew the answer to a question they pointed out how smart I was, and if I did not, they said, "Oh well, he does not know the language".

Photo: Arved Plaks’ archive.After the escape from Estonia to Southern Germany in September 1944, I ended up in a village grade school. I remember the teacher by name, Miss. Birnbaum and her shrieks when a student had not met her expectations. When shrieks were not enough to make her point she resorted to her bamboo sticks, which were about foot long. The offending student had to hold his or her hand out and she would hit it with a stick. After a while the sticks would splinter, but that was no problem for her, for she kept an ample supply of them.

Photo: Arved Plaks' archive.As I am approaching the age that is expressed by a large round number, I must accept the fact that my productive years are behind me. That is what the statistics show. I also see that my friends are leaving the ranks of the living in increasing number. I call out: "Guys! Are you really leaving? We have not yet finished all our debates and our grand projects!" Reluctantly I have to reconcile myself with the knowledge that I might never see Machu Picchu with my own eyes.

München on eestlastele ajaloos olnud alati millegi poolest märgiline linn. Kuigi tänaseni puudub suurem uurimus, mis aitaks paljude eestlaste mälestuse Baierimaa pealinnaga kokku viia, leiame viiteid sellele ikka ja jälle nii varasemast kui uuemast ajaloost.

Image By Grant Cochrane / FreeDigitalPhotos.netImage By Grant Cochrane / FreeDigitalPhotos.netBerliin on metropol, kus elavad ja tegutsevad koos väga paljude rahvaste esindajad. Berliin on sedavõrd kirju paabel, et siin on hästi näha kõik probleemid, millest Eestis on raske aru saada.

Euroopa ja eriti Saksamaa on 20. sajandi teisel poolel olnud pikka aega sundpoliitiliselt korrektne, aga 21. sajandil on olukord veidi muutumas, sest üha enam võtavad inimesed sõna, püüdmatagi eriti oma tekste poliitilise korrektsusega piirata.
