The performance of a New Year's song in Russian by children in the historical center of Tallinn irritated the workers of a pharmacy. The kindergarten students came to the pharmacy on an excursion, local media reported. Its employees ''indignantly stopped the singing,'' the Sputnik Near Abroad telegram channel reports.
An incident testifying to the attitude towards the Russian language in Estonia occurred in the Town Hall Pharmacy, located in the center of Tallinn. The children were brought to the pharmacy on an excursion; at a certain time, they started singing a New Year's song in Russian, but were stopped by indignant employees under the pretext that they were disturbing customers.
As the kindergarten teacher noted, it was very good that the staff spoke the state language, and the children did not understand their words.
In Estonia, there is a war against Russian culture, as well as the memory of Soviet liberating soldiers, but Russian-speaking residents find the opportunity to listen to Russian songs and celebrate Victory Day. In May, the residents of Narva enjoyed listening to the songs of Victory, which were played from the Russian bank of the river, where Ivangorod, the Russian bordering town, is located. The concert became a reminder that during the Great Patriotic War, Russians and Estonians together liberated these places from the Nazis.
