Paljud noor- mehed kasutasid tasuta hariduse saamise võimalust sõjakoolides, mis tuli hiljem kasuks noorele Eesti Vabariigile ja oli eel- duseks oma vägede loomisel. Rahvusväeosad ja Vabadussõja lahin- gute käigus esile tõusnud Eesti ohvitser- kond ei tekkinud tühjale kohale. Oluliseks tähiseks ohvitserkonna kujunemisel olid Krimmi sõja järel, 1860. aastatel, toimu- nud sõjaväereformid. Sellega asutati ka junkrukoolid, kuhu astumisel võrreldes sõjakoolidega kehtis madalam hariduslik tsensus ning alates 1869. aastast võisid sinna astuda ka teenistuses silma paist- nud sõdurid ja allohvitserid. Junkrukooli lõpetanu võis omandada kõrgemat sõja- väelist haridust. Kui 1914. aasta suvel moodustasid eesti rahvusest kaadriohvit- serid ca 0,6% Vene ohvitserikorpusest, siis 8 9 VILNIAUS KARO MOKYKLA — Tautiškumo idėjoms plintant kiekvie- BŪSIMŲJŲ ESTIJOS RESPUBLI- nas praprusęs ir prasigyvenęs žmogus KOS KARININKŲ KALVĖ troško bent vieną iš sūnų pasiųsti mokytis kad taptų išsilaviniusiu.

Rusijos armijoje Pirmojo pasaulinio karo metu suformuotuose estų tautybės kariškių padaliniuose („Rahvusväeosad“) ir Estijos nepriklausomybės karo metu iškilusi karininkija neatsirado tuščioje vietoje. Esminis veiksnys, lėmęs karinin- kijos susiformavimą buvo karinių pajėgų reforma, įvykdyta 1860-siais, pasibaigus Krymo karui. Ją vykdant buvo įsteigtos ir junkerių mokyklos, į kurias stojantiesiems pakako žemesnio išsilavinimo cenzo negu kad stojantiems į karininkų mokyklas ir 10.02.2006 / LES nuo 1869-jų į jas galėjo stoti tarnyboje pasižymėję kareiviai bei puskarininkiai.

  • HOME and AWAY: Urban Representations in 1980S Soviet Estonian Cinema Eva Näripea
    HOME and AWAY: Urban Representations in 1980s Soviet Estonian Cinema Eva Näripea When talking about the ‘golden times’ of the Soviet Estonian feature film, atten- tion is focused, foremost, on the late 1970s, and Kaljo Kiisk’s Ask the Dead What Death Costs (Surma hinda küsi surnutelt, 1977), Olav Neuland’s Nest of Winds (Tuulte pesa, 1979), Leida Laius’s e Landlord of Kõrboja (Kõrboja peremees, 1979) and Peeter Simm’s Ideal Landscape (Ideaalmaastik, 1980) are listed as the best works of the period (Elmanovitš 1987). e last three discuss historical village life and only the first of them is laid against the background of city life. In the early 1970s, the period that the critics unanimously called the time of crisis in Estonian cinema, the situation was quite the opposite. e Old Town of Tallinn was depicted even in three films – as an historical background to an adventure film Stone( of Blood [Verekivi], 1972), and as the scenery to camp-like songs and dances of musical films Old( Toomas Was Stolen [Varastati Vana Toomas], 1970; Don Juan in Tallinn [Don Juan Tallinnas], 1971); the most modern pearls of Tallinn’s architecture were captured in Kaljo Kiisk’s e Landing (Maaletulek, 1973). In these films, Tallinn was mostly depicted as a commercial attraction meant to lure tourists and demonstrate the progressiveness of socialist society. e filmmakers did not depart from the levels of picture postcard appearance, retrospect or yearning for history; they did not reveal the prosaic background of city life. is representation of the city was aimed at strangers, not at the city dwellers themselves.

Library British Library of Political and Economic Science Abstract This study investigates the interplay of collective memories and national identity in Estonia, and uses life story interviews with members of the intellectual elite as the primary source. I view collective memory not as a monolithic homogenous unit, but as subdivided into various group memories that can be conflicting. The conflict line between ‘Estonian victims’ and ‘Russian perpetrators* figures prominently in the historical culture of post-Soviet Estonia. However, by setting an ethnic Estonian memory against a ‘Soviet Russian’ memory, the official historical narrative fails to account for the complexity of the various counter-histories and newly emerging identities activated in times of socio-political ‘transition’.
