"Based on the inter-cultural relations model of John Berry, four different groups among Russian-speakers
in Estonia were differentiated in the analysis of ‘Integration monitoring 2005’. The analysis reveals that
both similarities and differences exist between the characteristics of these four groups and the groups
in the typology of Berry (integration, assimilation, marginalisation, separation). The differences that
emerged are related to the assimilation and integration strategies, which proved to be rather restrained
for Russian-speakers in the current social and political context in Estonia. The analysis gives us ground
to claim that the strong ethnic connotation of the current nation-state model in Estonia hinders finding
a positive place in this country even for those Russian-speakers, who, in fact, would like to integrate." (author's abstract)... view less
