Product Description
The book explores the advance of democracy in the Baltic states over a period of 15 years. By and large successful cases of democratisation the three states had to cope with several problematic legacies, some of which prompted Estonian and Latvian authorities to impose restrictive and controversial citizenshiplaws. The book also explores the ties between institutions and ordinary people. Aided by the New Europe Barometer, an extensive collection of data covering more than a decade of democratisation, this multi-level study reveals that democracy as an ideal enjoys increasing support, but that many Baltic citizens remain unconvinced about the performance of democracy.

High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The Russian Party in Estonia (Estonian: Vene Erakond Eestis, VEE) is a minor Estonian political party, drawing just 1,082 votes in the 2007 elections. It is one of the two parties which claim to represent the Russian minority in Estonia. This party is more conservative and nationalistic, compared with the United People's Party that recently merged with the Estonian Left Party, forming the Estonian United Left Party. The population of Russians in Estonia is estimated at 345,000. Most Russians live in Estonia's capital city Tallinn and the major northeastern cities of Narva and Kohtla-Järve. The rural areas of Estonia, on the other hand, are populated almost entirely by ethnic Estonians, except for some areas in eastern Estonia near Lake Peipus which have a long history of settlement by Russians, including the Old Believers' communities. ...
