Estonia is the most prosperous country of the former USSR. It has real democracy, a high human development index and the best GDP per capita in the former Soviet Union. People here have long been voting online, there is no corruption, and you can do business in heavenly conditions.
But is it all so good? And why in this fairytale are Soviet monuments demolished with scandals, forest brothers are considered heroes, and Russian residents complain about repressions? Or is it all just Russian propaganda? I went to Estonia to look into this and bring you a new film from the series about the former republics of the USSR. And what are you waiting for?
