LETTERS, Page 8Russian Minority
Fifty years ago, Stalin's armies occupied and forcibly
incorporated into the Soviet Union the independent Republic of
Estonia (WORLD, Sept. 25). Since then, Estonians have had to endure
brutal deportation to Siberian labor camps, where many died, and
an influx of Russian laborers in numbers that threaten to render
Estonians a minority in their own land. But when the Estonians are
finally given a chance to express their anger and demand a
restoration of what is rightfully theirs, the Russians wail about
discrimination and the deprivation of their "rights." What gall!
