Us and them

from Estonian SSR to Estonia

I think Russians are seen as the oppressors and my "wanting the country to themselves" bit is not truly accurate. They don't want Estonia to themselves so much as they don't want to have to share it with historical oppressors, and are therefore oppressing people for what their ancestors and government did.

Commemorating spending an afternoon outside with polaroids and a typecast? Shows how much things have changed since I was growing up.

News and soul

I should say now that I'm fond of the 1941-1949 Royal QDL, and I understand why people would like them, but I have no near the attachment to them that a lot of people have. On the other hand, I really don't see the appeal of any 1950s or 60s Royals...

Rob's post

When I upload my typecasts they get a slight grey cast on them now, and I don't know why. I haven't changed anything I'm doing and re-editing the scans in photoshop to make them lighter does nothing.
