The people of Tallinn remember Russian rule in their nation and although I’m sure there are some who have fond memories of it, it’s been firmly rejected now. In the 1991 referendum, over 78% voted to be independent and free from Russian control and in 2003, 67% voted to join the European Union.

The staff of the Russian Embassy in Tallinn look out on this series of posters and banners, in what is seemingly a permanent installation. Alexei Navalny, the anti-corruption leader, is mentioned frequently.

And a poster to sign. There is currently no Russian Ambassador in post in Tallinn and I’m not sure that there will be for some time.
