At the beginning of the 20th century, a vibrant Estonian community active in Helsinki included artisans, entrepreneurs, servants, and laborers, as well as students, writers, artists, and politicians. Some had gone there to study, while others sought refuge from the 1905 Revolution. The political and cultural elite of independent Estonia became acquainted with Finland early on, finding it to be an inspiring environment, a political haven, and a land of freedom. This book paints a captivating picture of the history and activities of Helsinki's Estonian community.
