My uncle was from Estonia. He fled in the late 40's. Horrible story. He was the only member of his family to survive the revolution. He married my aunt in 1964. He was the most self reliant, creative artisan, master of everything he decided to undertake, practical minimalist, and gentle 6'6" giant I ever met!

He passed away about ten years ago. One of his life's highlights was returning to Estonia to visit in 2003. He would wake up from sleep in panic attacks and sweats that were horrible. His entire family was lined up in front of their estate barn and shot by the communists. He was hiding nearby in a pile of brush at his parents instruction.

Paul Krugman is very upset.

He predicts higher GDP and higher standard of living in Belarus. /sarc

Great article. Thanks for posting. My ultra-lib daughter visited Lithuania and Latvia about ten years ago while studying in Sweden. She had been visiting the ancestral home in Danzig. I sent the full Cato article her — maybe she can put two and two together to see what happens when people are free of the shackles of government corruption and tyranny.

The 33 year old Prime Minister story is amazing. The only economics book he had read was Friedman’s “Free to Choose.” He thought “that makes sense” and executed that plan. Wow.

I found out yesterday that Poland has no left wing parties. Hmmm...and I wonder why.

One third of Estonia’s population is Russian. They will want their freedom. And the Russians are going to send in their little green men to eastern Estonia where most of them live.

Keep John Kerry away from them!

Most beautiful country. It literally looks like a medieval town or fairy tale from a childrens book. So cool. In the colder months, up to June (lol), they have men and women walk around in past outfits wearing red velvet costumes selling cider and roasted chestnuts. It is really a very beautiful country.....at least Tallin, Estonia is.

Until today, overviews, digests and reports compiled by the EIB - Estonia’s foreign intelligence service dating back more than two decades – have been available only to a restricted group of politicians and officials.

Naturally, this will remain the case for classified documents. ‘International Security and Estonia in 2016’ is, however the Estonian Information Board’s (EIB) first publication intended for the public.
