After breaking free from the Bolsheviks in 1918, Estonia enjoyed
independence until 1940, when the country was subsumed by the
Soviet Union. Not until 1991 was Estonia able to make its next
successful bid for sovereignty. In this book, Rein Taagepera traces
the evolution of Estonia from prehistory to the present, when a
radical turn of events in the former Soviet Union once again
altered the destiny of this Baltic nation.The author explores in
depth the remarkable changes in Estonia since 1980, framing his
analysis within the larger picture of the Soviet Union and its
demise. He also examines the issue of ethnic tensions between
Estonians and Russian colonists and speculates on how unrest will
affect the future of the country. Throughout his analysis, the
author weaves in such key questions as: Why did Sovietization fail?
How did Estonia's quest for autonomy affect Soviet dissolution?
What role will the country play on the global stage? What will
Estonia's future hold?
