On the occasion of the Finnish “Independence Day” celebrated by the reaction, we reaffirm our commitment to proletarian internationalism and publish the following translation of a text sent to us. The writer has approved some minor adjustments and notes for the international reader.
Estonia is a country in the Southern coast of the Gulf of Finland with some 1.3 million people. In Finland, the country is mostly known for its migrant workers in Finland, especially in the capital area around Helsinki, and also for its “booze tourism” (alcohol is much cheaper in Estonia than in Finland) and also, frankly, for its sex tourism. Culturally, Tallinn Old Town is well known. The language is close to Finnish, and the nation is seen as the “younger brother” of the Finns. However, apart from trivia, the country is not well-known in Finland, even though geographically, language-wise and, especially, in the imperialist system the countries have a close relationship.
