The Republic of Estonia turned 100 years old and the Academy of Sciences 80 years old. Thus, Tmany of the year’s events and undertakings had a festive feel. Even a major part of the Academy’s symbol - the infinity sign, or sideways figure eight – “stood up for the year”, yet also appeared in its customary form on the Republic of Latvia 100 logo. The Estonian postal service joined the Academy’s 80th anniversary celebrations by releasing commemorative postal stationery whole items. It is like being in a song: if you’re on a postage stamp, you exist in the eyes of the whole society. Member of the Academy Karl Ernst von Baer, for instance, likely owes some of his renown among Estonians to appearing on the two-kroon note. For the first time ever, the Academy awarded friendship certificates to some of its allies. One of them has been tireless in representing academic values and pro- moting them throughout her work, another has made outstanding contributions to the Academy’s new forms of work and has offered excellent ideas for facilitating scientists’ cross-border movements, and a third has developed ideas born in the Academy into popular public events and has tirelessly motivated scientists to present their unpublicised thoughts to the broader public. The final noteworthy happening of the year was a joint declaration by the main political parties, scientists and higher education institutions, along with employers and representatives of private businesses, about increasing science funding sig- nificantly. The discussions around the implementation of this declaration are likely to be complex and stretch through a large part of 2019. But it is clear that what has worked so far may not be enough in the future. If we want to reach a bet- ter position in international value chains, the current science funding paradigm has to change. The state doing its share will not be enough if private enterprises stand idly by. Competitive research done in the private sector benefits not just the development of a modern business and economic environment, but also academia and the entire country. This collection brings together some reflections on the Academy’s routine, this time with a festive flair, with the near-obligatory descriptions of major events and some aspects of everyday work. The rectors of three major universities, all Academy members, allowed us access to their working lives, behind the scenes. A retrospec- tive on the Academy illuminates its legacy in modern times. A somewhat unusual travelogue casts light on unexpected aspects of certain countries. The facts, figures, and technical details of the Academy’s and our partners’ activities are covered in the classic white yearbook. 28.

    ISSN 0208-189X Oil Shale, 2011, Vol. 28, No. 4, pp. 548–553 © 2011 Estonian Academy Publishers in memoriam Professor Paul Nikolai Kogerman and the success story of Estonian kukersite Estonia is a small country on the Eastern border of the European Union. Kukersite oil shale has been an engine of its economy for a long time. The local people have had many rulers from Swedes and Danes to Germans and Russians. Estonia achieved national independence for the first time during the turmoil of World War I and the following War of Independence, also known as the Estonian Liberation War. It was a hard fight but it was even harder to develop the economic base for the newly independent country. In addition to agriculture it was important to develop national industry and energy production. The Swedish king Gustavus Adolphus had founded the University of Tartu in 1632, which became internationally well-known and developed strong scientific traditions. Foreign professors and scientists left because of the war while there weren’t almost any professors or scientists of Estonian nationality. The university had to quickly develop a national group of technical scientists to restart the studies on oil shale. The main prospective natural resource for Estonia at that time was kukersite oil shale. However, oil shale studies were in their beginning stages not only in Estonia but also worldwide. The use of local oil shale in energy production and chemical industry began in 1916, when oil shale mined in Kukruse was taken to St. Petersburg Gas Factory and oil shale gas was used to light the city.

During about the quarter of the century that has elapsed after regaining independence, our scientific landscape has changed radically. The lion’s share of research work is integrated with providing university education. The targets for the following seven years were defined at the very start of the year, in the document adopted by Riigikogu (Parliament) on January 22, 2014 and entitled “Estonian research and development and innovation strategy 2014- 2020.

This paper gives a historic overview of the innovation activities in the former Soviet Union, including the Estonian SSR, in the direct chemical processing of organic matter concentrates of Estonian oil shale kukersite (kukersite) as well as other sapropelites. The overview sheds light on the laboratory experiments started in the 1950s and subsequent extensive, triple- shift work on a pilot scale on nitric acid, to produce individual dicarboxylic acids from succinic to sebacic acids, their dimethyl esters or mixtures in the 1980s. Keywords: dicarboxylic acids, nitric acid oxidation, plant growth stimulator, Estonian oil shale kukersite, Krasava oil shale, Budagovo sapropelite. 1. Introduction According to the National Development Plan for the Use of Oil Shale 2016– 2030 [1], the oil shale industry in Estonia will consume 28 or 9.1 million tons of oil shale in the years to come in a “rational manner”, which in today’s context means the production of power, oil and gas. This article discusses the reasonability to produce aliphatic dicarboxylic acids and plant growth stimulators from oil shale organic matter concentrates. The technology to produce said acids and plant growth stimulators was developed by Estonian researchers in the early 1950s, bearing in mind the economic interests and situation of the Soviet Union.

The ‘budgetary talks’: how to find the sources to cover all sorts of promises? In a well-functioning democracy, the ‘budgetary talks’ is always a relatively transparent ‘conversation’ on how to reconcile numerous political promises with the money in hand. Without a question, Estonia is a liberal democracy, but, given the specific composition of the current governmental coalition in the country, the aforementioned ‘conversation’ is promising to be extremely diverse at its best and highly populistic at its worst. An avalanche of promises arrives from the widest possible ‘spectrum’ – narratives from both political right and left are getting mixed up with some ideas of undetermined political nature, which can be more related to science fiction rather than responsible politics. In any case, all will come to a point of completing a budget for 2020 very soon. In order to get the process off the ground, the Estonian Ministry of Finance commenced the talk with delivering its summer economic forecast. It was reported that the Estonian economy, while still under pressure of having the government’s structural budgetary deficit (from 2019 until, most probably, 2023), will be into growth by 3.3% this year and is expected to grow further by 2.2% in 20201.

  • Home and Nostalgia in Postsocialist Estonia
    REFUGE OR resOurCE: HOme AND NOstALGIA in POstsOCIAlist EstOniA ANU KANNIKE PhD, Researcher Centre for Contemporary Cultural Studies University of Tallinn Uus-Sadama 5, 10120 Tallinn, Estonia e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The focus of this article is on nostalgia as it appears in the representations of home- decoration in postsocialist Estonia. This theme is explored, describing a dialogue and conflict between different versions of relating to the past. The empirical ma- terial comprises qualitatively analysed in-depth interviews and articles in home- decoration journals from 1997–2008. Examining some dimensions and mechanisms of nostalgia in this specific context enables to demonstrate how is transforma- tion from Soviet everyday culture into Western consumer culture conceptualised through ideas about the home. I will suggest that in Estonian everyday life nos- talgia is not only a form of escapism into the past from the uncertain present and identity problems, but it also works as a resource to cope with the traumatic past, negotiate and forge new identities. KEYWORDS: home • postsocialism • nostalgia • consumption • heritage IntrODUCtiON All through human history and culture the dwelling has been a complex of images that offer proofs or illusions of stability to a human being. It is one of the central integra- tors of a man’s thoughts, memories and dreams (Bachelard 1999: 54). In contemporary Western world the home has remained an important arena that mirrors the interplay between society and individual, it is a way of organising everyday life and privacy. A home can be seen as social practice – it brings together the levels of ideology and every- day.

  • Replacement of Urban Space: Estonian Post-War Town Planning Principles and Local Stalinist Industrial Towns
    JOURNAL OF ARCHITECTURE AND URBANISM ISSN 2029–7955 / eISSN 2029–7947 2016 Volume 40(4): 283–294 doi:10.3846/20297955.2016.1247999 Urban design in the Baltics: studies, research and practice REPLACEMENT OF URBAN SPACE: ESTONIAN POST-WAR TOWN PLANNING PRINCIPLES AND LOCAL STALINIST INDUSTRIAL TOWNS Siim SULTSON Department of Architecture and Urban Studies, Faculty of Civil Engineering, Tallinn University of Technology, Tallinn, Estonia E-mail: [email protected] Received 29 February 2016; accepted 7 October 2016 Abstract. The presented paper focuses on Estonian urban space research concerning both replacement of urban heritage and esta- blishment of new urban design within the period of mid 1940s and 1950s. On the one hand, Stalinist principles brought by Soviet occupation reminded independent Estonian 1930s town planning ambitions. On the other hand, the new principles formulated a new paradigm that was unfamiliar to local urban space tradition. Estonian urban space was compelled to follow the Soviet doctrine by concept, forms and building materials. Sometimes suffering irrational demolitions the towns got axially arranged representative, but perspective and functional plans. Some existing towns (for instance Tallinn, Pärnu, Narva) got new centres due to war wrecka- ges and the ideological reasons. Meanwhile new industrial towns as examples of Stalinist utopia were built in East-Estonia during 1940s–1950s in order to exploit local mineral resources by the Soviet regime. In comparison with Tallinn and Pärnu urban space of East-Estonian industrial towns Kohtla-Järve and classified Sillamäe – designed in Leningrad (St. Petersburg) – still need to be researched. Though different from the rest of Estonian towns by details and materials of façades city-like centres of Sillamäe and Kohtla-Järve are rather similar to Tallinn and Pärnu by their composition.
