Interest for Estonian citizenship among Russians grows - The Baltic Times

If EU close borders to ex USSR countries, make them to grow the anti-West politics, and close borders are bad for economy development.

Especially for Estonia, Estonia will win very much to give citizenships to humans from Russia.

I can't imagine anyone willing to move to Estonia. Except for chechens of course.

Russians will do anything to leave Putinko's Russia.

Than you don't understand how important these kind of things are to people living in the border. If estonians make it hard for people of russian origin to go there than russians living in border cities will simply choose to go spend their money in Latvia or Lithuania. At this rate Estonia will simply just become an economic colony of Finland because of dependency.

It is a common finno-ugric wisdom that bears are not humans, they are step-brothers to humans.

The other wisdom is to dance on bear's funerals, so that the bear's spirit would not come back to haunt you.

Well, we can always move to finland and become finns with a funny accent and funny attitude. It's not like it hasn't happened before.

You just have to hope that we become proper finns, not kadaka-swedes.

there is interest for Estonian citisenship among Russians whatsoever - simply Estonian citisenship is EU citisenship and it gives rights to travel without visa and to look for jobs in EU - if I had opportunity I would get Estonian citisenship as well for that matter (especially travel matters) - but it doesn't mean that I give a hoot about Estonia - its the same like Rusians oligarchs used to buy citisenship of Bahamas (or smthing over there) so that not to be kicked from that refuge while warrent for arrest is issued for their financial fraud back in Russia, the same some shipowners pay to sail under Liberian flag (which is cheaper then under British flag or Russian or French one) - it doesn't mean that they like Liberia (or Estonia )

"there is NO interest" (see first sentence in above post)- misprint - "NO interest", ofcource

Russians go shopping to Finland for cheaper stuff, but hardly there is any reason to spend money in Baltic states - Balts simply have nothing to offer...

What a joke. Estonia is apartheid state with racial laws discriminating Russians.

There is barely any mention of russians or russian in Estonian legislation.

You can do your own digging, if you don't believe me.

I'm sure that you are referring to just that as a sign of "discrimination" - barely any mention of russians.

I agree that Baltics has little to offer, but russians come and shop here anyway. And it is often because of russians buying anything here, that our local variety of offered goods gets distorted to almost nothing useful.

You are right about passports of convenience for people, just like there are flags of convenience for ships.

There is a lot of interest in EU countries passports, and some can be obtained at a price if you have the right connection - and at a price.

Some Baltic and Romanian passorts have appeared here in UK, held by people who have not much knowledge of these countries and certainly cannot speak the languages of the passport they hold!

Romanian passports are apparently 'given' to any Moldovan citizen who goes to Bucharest and claims the nationality. Many Ukrainians use that link to get an EU passport and come in Western Europe.

Also, Latvia is also 'generous' in its allocation of passport, and after pocketing some 'administrative fees' Latvian officials will issue a genuine Latvian passport to any Russian who wants one.

There are suspicion here in UK, that the 2 other Baltic states do the same. Here the Home Office has checked with these countries and the passports are absolutely genuine and legal.

Estonians are wonderfully deeply grounded peoples.

They are akin to the blue eyed blonde haired Russians.
As is Latvians.

lol Ghengis Khan did not spread his seed so easily there...

And obviously, Russians have far less -- as evidenced by the fact that they must go to other countries to shop.

and that shows ! In healthy economy any new customer is a blessing - look at Finland, they specifically developped infrastructure for Russian customers in Southern Finland even with service in Russian language - and they thrive because of Russian interest in the region - not only tourist visits, but deliberate russian shoping over there as well...
