Things nobody told me about travelling in the Baltic countries They are SO high-tech. Tech companies like Vinted, Bolt, Wise all come from the Baltics and they’re all havens for start ups. Plus, you don’t need cash. Card/Google Pay is accepted everywhere. They felt soo much safer than London, Paris, Barcelona etc. The capitals are smaller, which helps, but I felt completely at ease exploring as a solo female traveller. The cold is NO JOKE. I knew they were going to be cold, and Vilnius and Riga were OK, but this is something I really struggled with in Tallinn! They are Christmas wonderlands! I’ve been to Strasbourg and Nuremberg, and the Baltic capitals all 100% beat them. The Christmas markets are smaller, but they’re way less commercial and the whole cities are oozing in festive atmosphere. The history and culture are fascinating. The countries sit at the crossroads between east and west, with influences from Poland, Germany, Russia, Central Asia and Scandinavia, and there are so many different facets to its history. Some of the stuff Iearned was very sad and difficult to digest, but the story of the Baltics is one of resilience. If you’ve not visited the Baltic countries, I HIGHLY recommend adding them to your list! #balticstates #visitestonia #visitlatvia #visitlithuania #visitbaltics #traveltiktok #travellife #solofemaletraveler

🇷🇺 How large are the Russian minorities in the Baltic States? 💥 Why is this a potential flashpoint? #Russia #Estonia #Latvia #Lithuania #Geopolitics #Ukraine #StumbleToVictory Why are the Baltics weary of their Russian populations? The three Baltic states of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania have large ethnic Russian minorities - each to varying degrees Estonia has a Russian minority of 24%, Latvia of 25%, and Lithuania of 5%. These minorities, particularly in Estonia and Latvia where they are larger, are a source of worry for their respective governments. This is because they fear Russia could influence or weaponise them against their respective governments, or because the state could use them as a justification to intervene militarily in those countries. Both of these factors are particularly relevant given Vladimir Putin’s increased interest in the so-called “Russian speaking world” and the war in Ukraine. However, the three states are afforded the protection of the EU and NATO - keeping the risk of direct military intervention on the part of Russia relatively low. Many ethnic Russian and Russian speaking peoples in the Baltics claim that they are discriminated against, with issues such as citizenship after the fall of the Soviet Union being a point of contention.
