After a short period of independence, Estonia was occupied in World
War II by the Red Army, then Nazi Germany, and again, for a lasting
occupation, by the Soviets. No wonder that a greater part of the
roughly one million Estonians had harshly eventful lives. This
anthology contains 25 selected life stories collected from
Estonians who lived through the tribulations of the 20th century,
and describe the travails of ordinary people under numerous
regimes. The autobiographical accounts provide authentic
perspectives on events of this period, where time is placed in the
context of life-spans, and subjects grounded in personal
experience. Most of the life stories reveal sufferings under
foreign (Russian) oppression. The product of a large-scale national
project to record history by collecting autobiographical accounts,
and a process of engaged selection for publication which followed.
The variety of life-experiences recorded offers comparison across
cultures, as well as an overview of the powerful neighbors as they
relinquish and strengthen their hold on Estonia.
