Russian-speaking conscripts of the Estonian army will be forced to learn Estonian

The Estonian Armed Forces are introducing compulsory Estonian language studies for Russian-speaking conscripts. This was announced by the head of the press service of the Ministry of Defense of the country Major Arvo Jõesalu.

Russian-speaking conscripts of the Estonian army will be forced to learn Estonian




Russian-speaking conscripts who do not speak the state language will be forced to study Estonian. As explained in the Estonian military department, this is done to "help integrate into Estonian society and strengthen the position of Russian-speaking military personnel in the army." Classes will be held twice a week in free time from service.

Compulsory courses are also aimed at ensuring that soldiers better understand military affairs, as well as integrate into society. Some soldiers are faced with problems, as their training, including driving training, is in Estonian

- said the head of the press service, Major Arvo Jõesalu.

It should be noted that Estonian language courses for Russian-speaking military personnel in the Estonian Self-Defense Forces (Estonian Army) have existed for 3 years and until now they have been completely voluntary. Now, on a new initiative, this year, 310 contract soldiers and approximately 3,5 thousands of conscripts should go through compulsory learning of the Estonian language.

Earlier it was reported that in the Estonian army there is an acute problem with Russian-speaking military personnel who do not want to learn Estonian. For example, in February this year, it was stated that in the Viru Infantry Battalion, where most of the servicemen are Russian-speaking, soldiers refused to speak Estonian even with officers.

When the Estonian anthem is played, they sing loudly Russian. They refuse to speak Estonian both with colleagues and officers. They also terrorize Estonian guys who are outnumbered there.

- said the leader of the Conservative People's Party of Estonia Martin Helme in Parliament.

          Just a blind typing method few people own. And then not everyone has time to correct grammatical errors when they are noticed after sending a comment, since the time for making changes has already been reached.

          And so, of course, the Russian language is grammatically and punctually complex, but also very richly expressive! With a lot of shades and meaning!

            And I would not refuse to learn Estonian in the army. It would always be useful for the Estonian language to eavesdrop on what Estonians say about the Russians, that they are hostilely preparing against the Russians and how to counter this.

        , in this situation, it is necessary to motivate them to carefully study the Estonian language: they will one day return to civilian life, begin to pursue a career, and someone will go into politics or administratively. Someday they will promote the necessary ideas .. Constant whining that forced to learn the language need to be dropped: it's time to learn to play "in the long"... There is something to spy on the sworn "friends" - the ideas of Bzezhinsky are slowly, but often realized, reaching the set goals

        You know it right. As a Russian born in England once told me in England, “You must once and for all remember and decide for yourself whether you are with them, or you are with us. If in dreams, you must remember your culture, go to the Russian church, observe all the fasts and everything that your ancestors taught you, remember their graves and churchyards, or you must be with them. " But let's say in Estonia all of us who speak Russian are in the majority a handful in a place regardless of nationality, even the Kurds and Sudanese are drawn to us. You just have to live peacefully in good neighborliness with everyone, then there will be no ethnic strife in the country, it is only among politicians, what we have, what others.

At school, they teach well. In narva there are even signs in shops and advertisements in Russian and Estonian. There is no segregation by nationality, you know the language, you know the work ahead. Well, as everywhere nepotism in Russian companies has its own kin, in Estonian its own, the rest is left for the people.

        Well, in Israel there are many "Russian" pensioners who do not know any language other than Russian. well, like this they do not apply for work and for them there is a Russian-language TV channel, radio, inscriptions in polyclinics are duplicated, necessarily a Russian-speaking someone should be in national insurance, polyclinics, hospitals, banks.

    "Poor" Estonian guys suffering from Russians. Maybe it was just not worth it to initially discriminate against Russians in Estonia? Personally, I like this alignment. And the Estonian Ministry of Defense did not think why the native Estonians do not want to serve? Now the nightmares of Estonians are understandable - not only are the Russians at hand, but they also prevail in the army and at any moment they can turn their weapons in the other direction.

    Good day to all. It seems to me that just someone through this idea of ​​money decided to make some money.
    Think about how people who were born in a Russian-speaking family, but who have lived in Estonia for a long time have not learned Estonian at a colloquial level (I’m not talking about a written one), but that cannot be, if you like it or not, the language itself will "stick", but at least by the same names in the store. So it’s hard for me to believe that there are so many people who do not know Estonian, especially from people under 30.
