Is it wrong to destroy historical monuments? Commies did it, post soviet states did it, ISIS did it.
>>
>>1743106
Of course. But comparing the soviet states to ISIS isn't a good comparison. The post soviet states destroyed things related to communism. Isis is destroying ancient artifacts that go as far back as the Assyrians and Mesopotamian. They've destroyed Egyptian mummies as well. That places ISIS in a different league from the Soviet States.

But yes it's obvious that destroying historical monuments is horribly wrong.

Depends. Most soviet monuments are worthless mass produced garbage.
Lenin statues are copy paste junk. And you can actually find them still in random places because of how numerous they were.

>>
>>1743312
Indeed, it's the Russians that are dragging them down, not their own ineptness and corruption of galactic proportions.

Everything you have was built under the supervision of the Russian Empire and the reason why they're"dragging" you down is because you refuse to make Russian as one of your official language, even though one third of your population is in fact, Russian.

They are a minority where a large percentage lacks Citizenship.

What makes you think I am a balt? I am a Swede for all it matters.
The government is a continuation of the pre-Russian invasion one, so technically it's older than the Russians in question.

About Nato I don't see how that makes them not truly independent. The pact is a defensive one against foreign aggression, something history has proven is quite valuable in their specific location. And besides, it's not like they will all of a sudden have NATO tanks invade their capitals due to radical change of politics.
>>
>>1743106
First of all you must distinguish between symbols of oppression and actual worthy monuments.

Obvious symbols of oppression like those mass produced Lenins, Stalins and Hitlers should be freely sold or destroyed. While the artifacts worth preserving should be hid inside museums where their propagandist element would be neutralized.

Of course terms "symbol of oppression" and "artifact worth preserving" are subjective and their definition is political one. Interesting discussion about such definitions is for example the question of reconstruction of Marian Column in Prague.

Because the Estonian government simply refuses to grant them citizenship, even though they've been living there their entire lives.

That is still not a excuse for massive infringement of human rights.

> I don't see how that makes them not truly independent

In a sense that they wouldn't be treating a good portion of their population in the way they do if it wasn't for external assurance that nothing bad would come of it.

Which don't matter because they entered the country during foreign occupation and besides, they have been offered citizenship granted they learn to speak the local languages properly as well as understand the constitution and some of the local history. Not that much to ask for, is it?

>That is still not a excuse for massive infringement of human rights.
What Human rights?
How do they infringe Human rights? As in apart from not giving them free citizenship.

That makes them dependent, not non-independent. They have to rely on US protection to act independently.

True, but they didn't provide them with educational facilities that could help them achieve that, they've only demanded from them to adapt, and that's basically it.The Estonian teachers refuse to speak Russian and in return, Russians won't speak Estonian because no one wants to establish communication.

>How do they infringe Human rights? As in apart from not giving them free citizenship

Because they're doing all they can to hinder their integration into Estonian society?As I've said before, they refuse to open Estonian/Russian language schools, that is basically a clear indication that they want them gone, even though most of them want to live in Estonia and adapt to it's society.

Because they need a large, distinctly Russian population in Estonia to justify their eventual invasion. If they actually integrate, they'll need to find a different excuse to free Estonia from their sovereignty.

This is also why balts fucking hate their Russian populations. They're ALWAYS a fifth column.

I suppose it's subjective and depends on the monument in question, but I'd prefer that they remain in-tact. If they have a negative historical connotation, you can move them out of the direct public eye, but they should be put in a museum/gallery somewhere.

You're so fucking retarded and your slav nationalism is out of this planet you basically said whatever Russians gobble up.

I'm not even Estonian, but you're a fucking retard. Their government isn't holding citizenship and purposely not giving them it. In order to get citizenship you have to pass a simple constitution test and and a language test. Why should they give them citizenship if they don't respect/value their laws, constitution or their language? They're living in Estonia if they want full citizen rights then respect their culture/history/language. No one is holding them hostages they can pack their shit and leave to Russia in fact Putin like five years ago or so introduced a programme for Russians to return to Russia and even offered them free apartments. Guess what? Almost no one went back, they just like bite hand which is feeding them and those Russians know it very well that they have better living conditions in there.

While this may be be bait it's actually true. Most of us would never visit those places in our lives and the pagan and Christian monuments we actually do visit are still standing safely. The historical loss is also minimized as we got most of this saved up as blueprints and stuff already. The only ones really losing on it are travelers ((A tiny minority)) and the people of the MENA getting their heritage destroyed.

Yes, it is. Wish my ex-soviet state kept our soviet monuments.

Nope.jpg.

Qin Shi Huangdi is pretty much famous for doing that, and it stopped with him.

Most of the time, Chinese history is about successive dynasties calling the previous dynasty "yes they were great, but they lost the mandate of heaven and so we're here." You did it to the memory of their last few rulers, usually, but not to their achievements.

Some dynasties were exempt to slut-shaming though, namely the Han and T'ang Dynasties. In Chinese Imperial social memory you don't shame the names of those 2 dynasties. Everything else is free game.

When Estonia emerged from the Soviet Union’s wreckage in 1991, the new country relegated much of its Slavic ethnic minority population (35% at the time) to non-citizen status unless they passed an examination in the Estonian language. Estonia’s Russian-speaking minority population finds the requirement problematic for several reasons. During the Soviet era, Russian was the official language in Estonia, it was the native language among 35% of the country’s population in 1989 and is still a major language today – 65% of Estonians speak it. Estonian on the other hand had limited presence in the republic between 1940 and 1991, though it was taught in some primary schools.

Linguistic discrimination in Estonia has roots in recent history. After the Soviet system’s collapse, some of the most attractive property in Estonia ended up in the hands of the former local ruling elites – the Russians. To prevent the concentration of power in their hands, Estonians passed laws denying Russians the right to own large amounts of property and removing them from positions of power. The non-citizen status was born from a clash of old power, accustomed to control and privilege, and new power, keen on getting their own country back. The Russian language has consequently been regarded as foreign since 1991.

They're not immigrants, but they're being as if they were, it's historically motivated revenge.

Pan-Slavism is only vilified because it ushered the end of the Old World Order in Europe and unlike Pan-Turanism, it's doctrine is based on traceable information and it only promotes Slavic unity and the freedom of Slavic people, it doesn't involve dominion over non-Slavs whatsoever.

Also, Panslavism isn't the same as "Slavic nationalism".

To you it's exotic art but to us it's mass produced garbage cluttering up all the public spaces, leaving no room for monuments of our own.

There's a huge Soviet soldier monument in the center of Sofia and there's a big debate over dismantling it.

>>
>>1750883
And by not going to Estonian schools while they live in Estonia they signficantly lower their job prospects and limit their prospects in other spheres by not learning Estonian. They could easily go to Estonian schools and if their parents want them to speak Russian too they can always talk in Russia in their family and there's such thing as Sunday schools like for example Lithuanian immigrant kids in Ireland go to Irish schools and on weekend they go to Sunday school to learn in Lithuanian. Russians just want to be parasites and get everything handed to them without even putting any effort to it.

Except I was a lithuanian kid who went to ireland and never went to one of these sunday schools, only the public Irish school. I intergrated just fine. Literally every other Lithuanian kid I knew did so too. The Russians aren't integrating because they don't want to. They're still stuck in their soviet imperialist mindset of being the center of the universe.

Well your parents chose not to, it's up for each individual to decide as I said.

>why don't you go back to Russia where you will live as a regular citizen then?
>*silence*

being treated as a non-citizen (read: third-rate citizen) in the baltics is better than being a regular citizen in russia lmao

>Indeed, it's the Russians that are dragging them down, not their own ineptness and corruption of galactic proportions.

Yeah, the Baltic countries are certainly doing way worse than they did under Soviet times or before.

>Everything you have was built under the supervision of the Russian Empire

Well, everything before the revolution obviously. Which makes sense when you consider that the Russians owned them in the centuries before.

PS., giving Baltic German nobility (the people who actually ruled these areas and built shit and were more important to the Empire than it was to them) preferential treatment to oppress the natives obviously isn't going to be viewed positively by them now.

>the reason why they're"dragging" you down is because you refuse to make Russian as one of your official language, even though one third of your population is in fact, Russian.

>colonists forced upon you a few decades ago to keep you docile should be given special preferences, instead of being glad they haven't been deported yet
>if Russian was made an official language they'd suddenly stop being impoverished, ultranationalist degenerates

Reminder that Crimea could only become part of Russia now because of Stalin's populations swaps. Letting Russians squat and exist as citizens so that they dominate border regions with Russia is begging for trouble.

Not because Khrushchev?

Stalin was the main reason. Around 1900 Russians formed around 33% of the population. Soviet famines and collectivisation hit Crimean Tartars, the largest group, the hardest. The WWII deportations pretty much exterminated them from the area. Which meant that Russians formed 60+% of the population in the decades after.

The Russian share of the population has actually gone down a bit in the last decade or two because the Tartars were finally allowed to resettle after the Soviet Union broke down.

The post soviet states had every right to remove the remnants of the alien jewish regime that subjucated them. There is huge difference from durkas durkas blowing up 4000 year old artifacts because muh idols.

Categorically false, the collectivization hit the Ukrainians the hardest, because they were mainly farmers and landowners, the Crimean Tatars( who aren't even native to the region) were depopulated by other methods.

>if Russian was made an official language they'd suddenly stop being impoverished

They certainly would, because they'd find employment and start adapting to Estonian society.

> ultra nationalist degenerates
Estonians are doing all they can to force them out and are ignoring the EU and amnesty international, but yeah, Russians are ultra nationalists.

There is no "silence", the've lived there their entire lives, they can't just abandon it because someone suffers from a widespread prosecution syndrome.

>>1750947
Imbecile, I've merely said that they should hire Estonian teachers who speak Russian to give lessons in Estonian, the problem is that no one wants to.As long as they're treated as enemies, they'll refuse to assimilate.
>>
>>1751220
they will never assimilate you retard. they dont even have the slightest inclination to do so. when our government made proposals to increase the studying hours of the native language and having them to do an exam they chimped out and started yelling how they're oppressed.
