Eva Finch & Valeri Zahharov: Estonians on Ukraine
Show Notes

Lying above Latvia, Estonia is the northern most Baltic country. Estonia’s capital city, Tallinn, is a short ferry ride from Helsinki, the capital of Finland. From 2001 - 2003, I lived in Tallinn. I have watched the war in Ukraine with particular alarm given so many of my friends live so close to the conflict. In this episode, I speak with two of them: Eva Finch, an Estonian living in Turku, Finland, and Valeri Zahharov, who moved to Estonia from Russia as a teenager, but strongly identifies today as an Estonian. We spoke via Zoom.
