NARVA, Estonia—The quick and glorious victory Vladimir Putin expected when he launched a war in Ukraine has turned into something of a punchline, and with each day bringing more humiliation to the Russian army , Moscow is looking as lonely as ever. Baltic countries have been important supporters of Ukraine since the beginning of the war. Now, Estonia is taking another step away from Russia—by investing in the Estonian language through education.
The growing divide is especially evident in Narva, the third-largest city in Estonia, separated from Russia only by a river. The city is currently constructing two state high schools, a primary school, and a kindergarten—and even though 95 percent of the population of this border city speak Russian at home—the primary language taught in those schools will be Estonian.
Estonian officials have been pushing for the language shift ever since their country gained independence from the Soviet Union. One of those new schools, a high school, is expected to open by September. The government has been investing heavily in the Estonian language as of late.
By raising the salaries of teachers who are fluent in Estonian, they hope to motivate educators to come and work in the north-eastern regions of the country. The Estonian language uses the Latin alphabet, and is closer in structure to Finnish than it is to Russian. Starting in , all Russian-speaking kindergartens in Estonia are expected to switch over to the Estonian language. A legislative proposal is also being prepared to require, among others, taxi drivers and food couriers to be proficient in Estonian.
