Summary / Abstract (Note) | Archana Upadhyay shows that identitarian policies in Estonia have sharpened linguistic and political differences as well as age-old resentments kept dormant under Soviet rule. The country’s vast Russian community feels neglected and discriminated against as it is largely excluded from the political process, while the majority population fears that at Moscow’s prompting, Narva and other mostly russophone enclaves might break away to join the Russian Federation. |
