Having suffered in the hands of Nazi German invasions, Estonia was a part of the German province of Ostland in the past. Though liberated from its past, it’s a rather new country having gained its singular sovereignty as late as 1991. It played its part in the Moscow Olympic Games of 1980 to host sailing events at the capital city of Tallinn. The major languages spoken here are Russian and Estonian. Here’s a country that spent rubles that always mesmerized you from Russian folktales. A startling fact about Estonians is that there was a period when alcoholism was a health hazard here as citizens consumed 11.2 liters of absolute alcohol each year.
