In ancient China, there is a saying called "scattered trade, not scattered friendship", which is especially true at the national level, the most typical living in the same country, even if the country disintegrates, then the disintegrated country should also be very united. Most typically, the vast territory of the British Empire, after the dissolution, formed more than 50 Commonwealth countries, and until now, these 50 countries have maintained good relations. However, this is often counterproductive, especially after the disintegration of a country, many of the brothers who once had it were intolerable. The most typical is the following small country, which not only took the lead in disintegrating the Soviet Union, but also said that "the Soviet Union invaded the country for half a century."
This country is the Republic of Estonia, which is located on the coast of the Baltic Sea and belongs to one of the three Baltic countries, with a land area of more than 45,000 square kilometers and a population of just over 1.3 million, which is not as much as a city in China. So Estonia is also a very small country in Europe, which is seriously insecure and self-protective.
Therefore, it has been invaded, and during the First World War, it was occupied by Germany, for which the Soviet Union at that time drove out the Germans, occupied Estonia, and regarded itself as a liberator. By 1940, the Soviet Union had completely annexed Estonia, after which the Soviet Union incorporated Estonia as a union republic into its territory.
Thereafter, until 1991, when the Soviet Union collapsed, Estonia lived within the Soviet system for 50 years. In the past 50 years, Estonia has not only not increased its identification with the Soviet Union, but has become more disgusted and hateful towards the Soviet Union. In 1989, Estonia, along with Lithuania, first made an independence from the Soviet Union, and could be said to have taken the lead in dismembering the Soviet Union. The dominoes were finally opened, and the Soviet Union finally disintegrated completely, divided into fifteen.
After the establishment of the independent state of Estonia, it not only quickly joined the EU NATO, but also regarded its former brother Russia as an enemy and deprived Estonia of its Russian nationality. Moreover, in order to implement the policy of opposing Russia, allowing NATO to station troops in its own territory and placing advanced weapons to monitor and confront Russia, its foreign ministers and presidents directly countered: "Russia has invaded the country for 50 years."
That is to say, Estonia believes that the rule of the Soviet Union over itself is an invasion and an invasion, so it resolutely does not recognize that it is a fraternal relationship with Russia, but a relationship of hatred and hostility, a relationship between aggression and anti-aggression war. Even Estonian textbooks preach the invasion of the Soviet Union and the 50-year history of their own revolt. Many people do not understand that Estonia has been in the Soviet Union for 50 years, history has no grace, there are feelings, ah, why after independence, it is so hostile to Russia and the Soviet Union? In fact, the reasons are mainly three points.
First, bloody hatred.
Estonia was weak, and in ancient and modern times, it had been slaughtered and killed by Tsarist Russia. Especially in modern times, both Tsarist Russia and the Soviet Union have caused the bloodiest casualties and massacres on Estonia in the process of conquest, so this hatred is quite large.
Second, post-war retaliation.
During World War II, because Estonia was more inclined to Germany, it secretly helped Germany fight the Soviet Union. For this reason, the Soviet Union retaliated harshly against Estonia after the war, directly sending bombers to Estonia to bomb and kill many people. And the culprits are dealt with severely, many of the implicated people are directly exiled to Central Asia, and Siberia has caused a lot of losses to estonia's population, so Estonia has always held a grudge.
Third, unfair treatment.
During the soviet rule, on the one hand, Estonia was considered to be disloyal, and on the other hand, Estonian industry was developed and the income of the residents was better. Therefore, during the rule of the Soviet Union, the heavy tax rate in Estonia was several times that of other republics, and Estonia complained even more. When the Soviet Union was strong, it did not dare to resist, and when the Soviet Union disintegrated, it naturally took the lead in resisting.
