An Estonian/Russian ballerina knows her attitude. “Russia has an amazing culture. Composers, theater groups, writers, artists and of course the best ballet in the world. Europe should be much more open to Russian culture”. Russia is so many things.

Kristina Kallas – European relation to Russia – Estonia
Today we met Kristina Kallas, Director of University of Tartu at Narva College. She helped us understand the current European relation to Russia for our upcoming podcast: “Russia has a difficult time accepting that it is now a nation state for the first time in history. It was always an empire. The Russian aggression towards Ukraine is a desperate attempt to continue the imperial past but also the desperate attempt of a regime that can only think in outdated geopolitical terms. Europe must continue to take a stand against Russia, politically, while culturally keeping the door open to the Russians”.

Triin – A generation with responsibility – Estonia
Today we met Triin who told us about how her generation has the responsibility to create a new and better Estonia and they believe they can do it. They are the link between Soviet and modern times – they understand the traumas that the country still feels, the mentality that the years under USSR created, but they also know the modern world and they want to create innovation, better social care, better schools, more diversity, tech break throughs etc.
