TSAR NICHOLAS II AND ESTONIA

By Liisi Kund

 

This Romanov history enthusiast decided to look into my country´s archives to learn what relationship there was between Tsar Nicholas II and Estonia.

Estonia has been part of Russia several times, the latest being 1944-1991 as part of the Soviet Union; prior to that it was 1710-1918, as of what we call “The Russian era”. Between these two time periods, we fought for our independence –  the Estonian Declaration of Independence was read out in Pärnu on 23 February 1918.  So for Estonia, the year 2018 is a centennial celebration, and myself I somehow feel sad,  as it´s also 100 years since the  deaths of the Russian Imperial family.
