ESTONIA

Welcome aboard the Titanic! you could say the 17th State joining the euro area. I do not know if it is a benefit to someone. And 'certain that in this way' Estonia out post-Soviet era. A nation fascinating, not only for landscapes. an e-society where no reason has been invented and launched by Ahti Heinle, Priit Kasesalu and Jaan Tallinn SKYPE. In Italy in vremmo, as regards the use of the network, so many things to learn.

Tallinn, at midnight

periphery of Kuressaare

After staying in Estonia and particularly the Baltic island of Saaremaa , which Kuressaare is the capital, four years ago I wrote The Manifesto for the following short piece :

To the east you come across in Estonia Lake Peipus that seemed funny since my childhood.

West in 1500 and in the Baltic Sea islands and islets.

Saaremaa and 'one of them, the bigger. Island peninsulas. A ferry and a strip of land to reach it. In the sea there is full of trees, wind and sun, which this season has won the darkness' night.

" The cross wind was a force severe " (Gustav Suits, 1883-1956.) I can testify: severe, but not hostile. Because the Baltic do not forget to be a Mediterranean where, as here, the flowers are best, and indulges in party colors, shapes and smells. It is full of music spokesman Ester Mägi, Estonian Arvo Pärt as piu'noto , but less trooped into his obsession pseudomistica, in a country where singing songs is like a national and patriotic emblem.

If Tallinn, Estonia's capital, is a miracle of intelligent architectural and aesthetic wonder, Saaremaa is its counterpoint: the island of forests and perfect architecture peasant huts and half half patrician houses.

If the legendary epic of the hero Tallinn e'rappresentata Kalevipoeg , the island of Suur Töll not fighting enemies, but demons.

Counterpoint, not escape.

vocalissima The Estonian language contains no future. That must be why the Estonian Tallinn and Saaremaa care about so deeply in this, not at all dominated by modernity-that-costs-costs that.

So it happens that you can arrive with regularity at the northern foothills of the island on an extreme air-conditioned public bus, but on dusty dirt roads, miles of coastline between the forests that surrounded him, face to face with cows, believing in India, sprawled at junctions and indifferent pairs of deer grazing.

Residue towers on the cliffs with evidence of their grandeur of a war, not only cold for the latitude, when the Soviet-era binoculars tapering off waiting for the enemy, and today, in competition with marine lights , looking serene and green sea and the different species of migratory birds.

strategic island, then island of war. Attraction and repulsion of native Russian, German, Danish, Swedish ... who have left their mark arms and crosses. Christianity did digest a bloody eight hundred years ago to the sword. As the integrity and ducentesco " castle Bishop "dominating Kuressaare, the capital, currently home to an austere ... glittering festival of samba.

Dreams carried by the wind.

" E'necessaria perche'vi the existence of a dreamer and a dream? " (Friedebert Tuglas).

I was especially fascinated by the musical texture that intersects Estonian culture. Here I suggest a micro itinerarioal female

The question of the relationship with the large Russian-speaking minority has not yet been resolved. In 2007, when the government decision to demolish the statue in memory of Soviet soldiers died fighting the Nazis, Urban had been a revolt, in part documented in http://www.disclose.tv/action/viewvideo/7171/Russian_occupants_in_Tallinn__Estonia_2007/ .

The tangle of historical symbols, contrasting memories, languages \u200b\u200bin contact, in contrast, are an area of \u200b\u200bconfrontation that will not be solved so easily.
