The regrets:
If I had to apologize before someone, that person would be my Father Jaan. Who has been a honest and hardly working man through his entire life. Who has always supported his family and hoped for the best. And who, by now, has been almost destroyed by my problems. It is too late to [...]

As an attempt to (re)socialize, I decided to visit a Christmas Church today. I thought of going to the Tallinn Jaani Church, where I used to go in 1990s. I was thinking that if I were a priest and would call people to the church in the Christmas Eve, I would carefully think of what [...]

The Institute of Political Science and Governance of the Tallinn University held the conclusive Christmas celebration today at the Russian National Restaurant Troika at Raekoja plats 15.
