Tallinn City Centre Photo: Andrei Pustovalov Photo: Andrei the City Centre in a Nutshell estonia Tallinn City Centre Photo: Andrei Pustovalov Photo: Andrei The city centre in a nutshell If it is ever possible to attach signifi cance to a city district as being the most important in the country, the city centre of Tallinn is it due to its high concentration of government and cultural institutions. The city centre is home to both parliamentary and government buildings (on Toompea Hill), ministries, Tallinn City Council and Tallinn City Government, the Estonia National Opera, a variety of theatres and concert halls, the National Library, the National Stadium and numerous museums and churches. As such, the residents of the district are always at the heart of political and cultural life in Estonia. The City Centre district was formed on 4 March 1993 by a decision of Tallinn City Council that divided the capital into eight local government units with limited powers. Prior to this reform, what is now considered the city centre had been divided between four districts (Kalinin, Lenin, Meri and Oktoober), each of which bordered one side of Town Hall Square. Due to its location, the city centre can be considered a link between the other districts of Tallinn, as it borders Põhja-Tallinn, Kristiine, Nõmme, Lasnamäe and Pirita alike. Rae municipality and the Baltic Sea are also direct neighbours. The administrative area of the city centre also includes Lake Ülemiste and Aegna Island in the Gulf of Finland. As at 1 September 2020, the population of the City Centre district was 63,692. That makes it the third largest district in Tallinn after Lasnamäe and Mustamäe, but there is only one other town or city in Estonia with a larger population: Tartu. The district covers 30.6 km2, of which Lake Ülemiste comprises 9.6 km2 and Aegna Island 3 km2. Due to its outstanding nature and abundance of monuments, Aegna is a protected site. There are 340 streets in the district, 68 of which are in the Old Town. Photo: Anu Aus Photo: Viktor Panasenko Photo: Viktor The Old Town, which took shape from the 13th to the 16th centuries, is the heart of the city centre. Indeed, a bird’s eye view reveals that the Old Town is itself shaped like a heart. Its medieval street network has been preserved, as have the majority of its buildings over 500 years old and much of the city wall. The Old Town is a heritage site which forms part of the UNESCO World Heritage List. The Süda-Tatari quarter and Kassisaba neighbourhood, which showcase the timber architecture characteristic of 19th-century Tallinn, are protected as one area. The best known of the fi ve areas of historical and cultural value in the city centre is Kadriorg. A baroque-style castle and magnifi cent park were constructed here on the orders of Russian tsar Peter I in the early 18th century, making it a neighbourhood for wealthy holiday-makers. Nestled between the Old Town and the port, the Rotermann quarter is known for its large Art Nouveau stone buildings and has also been declared an area of historical and cultural value. The liveliest commercial and business quarters in Estonia are located right next to this area. Due to their abundance of glitzy high-rise buildings and big- name companies, Rävala Avenue, Liivalaia Street and Tartu Highway are often referred to as the Estonian Manhattan or Tallinn City. In contrast, the neighbouring area between Herne, Veerenni, Õilme and Magasini streets is a sight for sore eyes as an area of historical and cultural value for its greenery and garden city milieu. Reidi Road is a major project of the decade and it is not only a necessary traff ic road in the city centre, which extends from the Russalka junction to the intersection of Lootsi Street and Tuukri Street, but also a popular recreational area that opened the city to the sea. Despite the fact that the city centre is an important traff ic junction and a densely populated area, it is also a district full of greenery. There are 42 green areas here in total, the best known being Kadriorg Park, Toompark (around Schnelli Pond), Hirvepark, Harjumägi, Tammsaare Park and Musumägi. Lake Ülemiste and the sea are also important in shaping areas of value in the city centre. The district’s area includes several kilometres of beach stretching east from City Hall to Maarjamäe. The Port of Tallinn is also located in the city centre. 21 historical areas have been described as the neighbourhoods of the city centre. They vary greatly in size and population. The neighbourhood of Lake Ülemiste is the largest in area, covering 1396 hectares, but one of the smallest in terms of population. Next in size is Aegna, which covers 301 hectares. The smallest area, at just 13 hectares, is the neighbourhood of Sibulaküla and Maakri.

    EÜL is very grateful for the support of the European Youth Foundation of the Council of Europe, Estonian National Foundation of Civil Society (Kodanikuühiskonna Sihtkapital), Estonian Ministry of Education and Research, Tallinn University and Tartu Mill. Welcome! Dear Friends from the European student movement, I am most happy to welcome you on behalf of Federation of Estonian Student Unions (EÜL) to the 35th European Students’ Convention (ESC) in Tallinn. EÜL is hosting ESC for the very first time and we have chosen our medieval yet high tech capital as the intriguing venue. The ESC “Inclusive Student Movement” concentrates on the safety and well- being of international students in the society and their inclusion in the student movement. EÜL sees problems with the latter aspects both in Estonia and in Europe at large. Together with globalization the internationalisation of higher education in Europe has increased rapidly. Each year there are more and more students who continue their studies abroad. Unfortunately, different societies are not always welcoming of international people, causing the students to experience discrimination in different forms. Furthermore not all higher education institutions are prepared to offer the necessary support and information needed to make the integration of international students and the overcoming of cultural barriers smooth. In addition, there is also a lack of representation of international students on the local, national and international level in the student bodies. The prior description paints a quite gloomy picture. We see there’s a lot of room for improvement. And there always will be because its like Don Quixote and his fights with the windmills.

After years of studying, I can proudly say that I finished eve- rything and that I am graduated. My studying career was a quite a long one and not always that easy, but it has been a wonderful time where I have learned many things and developed myself. The pro- cess of the master thesis, from the beginning till the end, reflects these previous years perfectly. Alt- hough I am the one who will receive the degree, I could not have done this without the support and help of many during the years of studying in general and during the writing of this thesis in particular. Therefore I would like to thank the ones who helped and supported me. I want to start by thanking my colleagues at Estonian Holidays and especially Maila Saar, Lars Saar and Mari-Liis Makke.

  • Several Lives of Tallinn's Christmas Tree
    30.6.2021 https://kesklinn.sendsmaily.net/template/preview/id/7/ If you do not see this message properly, click here. Dear Tallinn City Centre Residents, International Women's Day is celebrated globally on March 8. This year is notable for Estonia, as two women currently lead the Estonian Republic: Kersti Kaljulaid as President, and Kaja Kallas as Prime Minister. A recent survey conducted by the National Statistics Board and published symbolically on March 8th shows that Estonian women are well- educated, hard-working, and in great physical shape. Our health is strongly connected to the environment we live in, which is why the webinar “Waste Sorting and Recycling in Tallinn” initiated by the City Center New Arrivals Council was particularly topical. If you missed the webinar, you can watch the recording here. In this newsletter, you will learn about the multiple lives of Tallinn’s Christmas tree, how Tallinn’s participatory budget will be implemented in the City Center, and how to furnish your life in Tallinn for under 200 euros. Happy reading!

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’.
