Out of the Morass

Countries are in the news for a short while only to vanish from the public eye. Estonia is a case in point: it attracted attention while winning its independence from Russia in 1991; since then this small nation on the Baltic Sea seems to have vanished from view. In 'Uit het moeras' Carolijn Visser relates the gripping story of the Estonians’ struggle to extricate themselves from the Soviet morass. How do people who have never learned to make their own decisions cope with newly-gained freedom?
