Yes, Estonians are stubborn.
But fifth column or not, if that column is at least 25 per cent of your own population then you have two options: Yugoslavian style ethnic cleansing or some kind of modus vivendi. Problem is, ethnic cleansing isnt really that popular nowadays and not a good idea with such neighbours.
Strangely, I know both "real" Estonians and russians from there (and jews who tend to side with the russians) and I havent sofar run into any fifth columnists, monsters, terrorists or whatever.
But that over hyped nationalism does seem strange to me.
Problem is, the european Union is not Estonia's big brother to hide behind after throwing stones at the neighbour's big boy.
The sad fact remains that WW2 destroyed that unique baltic culture, where balts, swedes and germans lived together.
