I was walking with my dog in the Mustamäe forest when a motorcade of large limousines flew through the pine forest towards the sixth building of the university. It was a strange situation. The roads were cleared of snow. Young pine forest Mustamäe, me with a spaniel, winter and snow, and the Kremlin dreamer is looking out of the window! In the eyes of Gorbachev, one could read a gloomy understanding that here, probably, they already live a different life than in the Soviet expanses…</div><div style="text-align: justify;">2011 this great man celebrated his 80th anniversary, not in Moscow but in Albert Hall in London.

Soliidne iga ekspresidendi jaoks, tõstab aga et mees on tõeliselt vitaalne. Üllatuslikult 1976 . aastal demokraatide kandidaadiks valitud maapähklifarmer, suutis oma sarmiga presidenditooli ära võtta fantastiliste poliitiliste sidemetega Gerald Fordilt. Carter loomulikult tegeles põllumajandusettevõtlusega ja oli piisavalt edukalt, kuid loomulikult tema ambitsioonid oli ammu suuremad. Nimelt on ta mereväeakadeemia lõpetanud tuumaallveelaeva ohvitser, üks esimesi USAs, neid õpetati välja aga väga põhjalikult. Oma koduosariigis, Georgias, lasi ta end valida osariigi Senatisse ning saavutas lõpuks enda valimise Georgia kuberneriks, tai jäi ühe ametiaja kuberneriks. Tema presidendiks saamine oli sensatsioon. Pole imestada, et teda huvitasid desarmeerimisküsimused, kuna ta teemat tundis. Nõukogude Liidu liider , marssal Leonid Brežnev oli samuti huvitatud desarmeerimisest, et tõsta maailmas oma prestiiži. Carteri riigisekretär Cyrus Vance, nagu tuleb välja Mitrohhini arhiivist (KGB vanemohvitser Mitrohhin toimetas 90-aastatel Läände nõukogude välisluure arhiivi ), oli mõnda aega tihedas sidmes nõukogude luurajatega ning seetõttu läksid asjad libedalt. 1979 Viinis kirjutasid mehed alla SALT II leppele.<p></p><div class="o9v6fnle cxmmr5t8 oygrvhab hcukyx3x c1et5uql ii04i59q" style="background-color: white; color: #050505; font-family: "Segoe UI Historic", "Segoe UI", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif; font-size: 15px; margin: 0.5em 0px 0px; overflow-wrap: break-word; white-space: pre-wrap;"><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">Õnnetuseks läksid pärast seda asjad allamäge. Nõukogude Liidu invasioon Afganistani tegi lõpu USA presidendivalimiste aastal edukalt arenenud USA ja Nõukogude Liidu suhetele. USA alustas Moskva olümpiamängude ja Tallinna olümpia purjeregatti boikotti.</div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">Kuid isegi siis ei arvanud keegi, et Carter kaotab Reaganile, kes tundus äärmusparempoolsena, kuid kes seda muidugi polnud. Reagan oli küll veendunud antikommunist, kuid Donald Trump on võrreldes temaga tõesti oma vaadete poolest tunduvalt värvikam. </div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;"><br /></div><div dir="auto" style="font-family: inherit; text-align: justify;">Carter pidigi jääma pensionile. Ometi tõi saatus ta kätte Nobeli rahupreemia. Ja ehk tema oli tõesti see mees, kes seda vääris. Ta võitles desarmeerimise eest, rahu eest Lähis-idas, oli järeleandmatu süümevangide osas ning inimõiguste eest seismisel laiemalt. Ehk on Jumal talle pikki aastaid kinkinud just seepärast.</div></div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-132436333093428040.post-40242652645311740292020-06-01T08:24:00.000-07:002020-06-01T08:24:10.909-07:00Edgar Savisaar 70<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">

On Christmas Eve (December 24th, 2019), Max Kaur, the Mayor of the Jõhvi Municipality, proclaimed Christmas Peace at the town square.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This tradition dates back to the 17th century when Estonia, Finland and Sweden were part of a single state. Christmas Peace was first declared during the reign of Queen Christina (1632-1654). Usually, the Declaration of Christmas Peace was announced by the Mayor or the City Secretary at the town square. It is traditionally declared several minutes before and after noon on the Eve of Christmas.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Max Kaur announced Christmas Peace using the original text from the time of Queen Christina: "Tomorrow, God willing, is the graceful celebration of our Lord and Saviour; and thus is declared a peaceful Christmas time to all, by advising devotion and to behave otherwise quietly and peacefully, because he who breaks this peace and violates the peace of Christmas by any illegal or improper behaviour shall under aggravating circumstances be guilty and punished according to what the law and statutes prescribe for each and every offence separately.", reads the announcement that has not been changed since 17th century.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
In accordance with the tradition, Christmas Peace will last until January 13.</div>

“Today we speak about the future of Jõhvi. We will continue building Jõhvi. Jõhvi need complete the existing large-scale projects, such as the new building for the basic school that should be finished by the end of 2021 in cooperation with the Union of Estonian Architects. I believe that the end result is the most modern and architecturally accomplished school house in Estonia. In the coming years, we will build a sizeable track and field stadium, a stadium for the basic school and the Jõhvi city park. Moreover, we aim to further develop the idea of a Jõhvi Football Centre in cooperation with the Estonian Football Association, and to renovate the building of Jõhvi railway station.</div>

I celebrate the World Theatre Day with my mother, Larissa Kaur, a long-standing prima at the Estonian Opera and Ballet Theatre (in the middle of the picture). Prima ballerina Larissa Kaur was dancing on the stage of the Estonian Theatre for over 20 years. Her roles included Black and White Swan in Swan Lake, the leading part in Sleeping Beauty, and many other top parts. It was a happy time for Estonian ballet, which also allowed my mother to become closely acquainted with world ballet stars, such as Rudolf Nuriev.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
My mother repeatedly appeared as a cover girl on our local fashion magazine Silhouette. For example, like Olev Subbi. Back then, the journalists baptised her as Estonian Elizabeth Taylor. She inspired Georg Ots, Eri Klas, Peeter Saul, Sulev Nõmmik, and Eduard Tubin. It is much more than just a feeling of Estonian culture peaking in the 60-70’s, in which my mother also played her part.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The prima ballerina's granddaughter, Viktoria (23), currently studying at the Estonian Academy of Arts, bears an incredible resemblance to her grandmother. Happy Theatre Day!</div>

"Of course responsibility is high in view of the region I intend to represent.

<div style="font-size: 15.4px;">
The circumstances of the tragic sinking of the MS Estonia on September 28, 1994, which claimed thousands of lives of Estonian, Finnish and Swedish nationals, can no longer remain a secret in the realities of modern Europe. It’s been over 20 years, long enough to finally uncover the truth about the horrific tragedy that had struck the peaceful Baltic Sea.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15.4px;">
A wide variety of versions and assumptions of how the events unfolded still cause controversy to this day. The results of the official investigation by the special state committee did not provide any answers; on the contrary, new facts were uncovered, refuting previous versions of these tragic events. Today, the need to create a new independent international investigation committee is clear. The investigation should, of course, involve representatives and relatives of the deceased.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15.4px;">
The time has come when years after, scandals are exposed concerning business, politics and public life. In light of the secrets associated with the disaster, it’s time for the politicians and officials who were in charge at the time in Estonia, Sweden, Finland, EU and NATO, to start talking about it. I am sure that these people have all the information regarding the tragedy.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15.4px;">
At the 2010 conference regarding the disaster, several curious facts came to light. In particular, on the night of September 28, 1994, the very night the MS Estonia was on its way from Tallinn to Stockholm, unplanned large-scale NATO exercises were conducted in the Baltic Sea. It should be noted, that unplanned live fire exercises could be performed as well.</div>
<div style="font-size: 15.4px;">
In any case, the question remains as to why the NATO troops, who were practicing the salvation of the civilian ships, never came to the aid of the ferry in distress? Why did the leaders of our country keep silent about it? Today it is evident that what we are dealing with was not an accident but a crime. The answers we still need are to who orchestrated the tragedy, who led the operation, and who will be held accountable before the families of the victims and the European public. Unfortunately, I too have ties to this tragedy: I’ve lost my sister who was a crew member on the MS Estonia, as well as my grandmother who was a passenger.</div>

On 26 June 2018, a rural municipality assembly in Jõhvi, a capital town of the North-Eastern Estonia, elected Martin Repinski, the Member of the Estonian Parliament, as new rural municipality elder and approved the composition of a new rural municipality government, where I, as its deputy head, was entrusted with the responsibility for addressing development and entrepreneurship. The new government coalition, which includes the Centrists, the Reform Party and the Jõhvi Our Home, has decided to jointly work hard on changing things in the self-government to leap forward in the development of Jõhvi.</div>

Jõhvi, being the capital of the North-Eastern Estonia and the regional center, needs sustainable development. Jõhvi has always been known for its cultural identity and traditions, which need to be preserved and expanded. The new team will have to ensure a positive image and intensive development of the self-government.</div>

The key focus is to attract new resources to Jõhvi's development through state programs, EU structural funds and private entrepreneurs' investments. More attention should be given to social issues, including more support to retirees, young families, youth and sports. We plan to improve the town park, upgrade the football stadium, build a track and field stadium and install new playgrounds. We intend, through the support to entrepreneurship, to help in creating new jobs. Together with Eesti Rautee, we will fix the railway station and its surroundings. Jõhvi has always been a town, and in this regard, I sincerely support the opinion of the most town residents to reinstate Jõhvi's status as urban municipality.</div>

<div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;">
In England, there are new speculations about whether Prince Charles, when he becomes King, will appoint his wife Camilla, Duchess of Cornwall, to be Queen after all. When Charles married Camilla, the royal family decided, to her big dismay, that she would not to officially be known as Princess of Wales, because of the popularity of Princess Diana, who at the time of her death was wearing the title. For a long time, it has been thought that Camilla will be princess consort, like her father-in-law, Prince Philip is prince consort of Queen Elizabeth II. </div>
<div dir="auto" style="text-align: justify;">
This is a serious matter, for example Henrik, the Danish prince consort who recently passed away always wanted his wife to make him king consort. There was a historical precedent, when lord Darnley became king consort of Scotland when he married Mary, Queen of Scots, also known as Mary Stuart. Also Fredrik I who was prince consort, became King of Sweden. The situation for Camilla is much simpler, and actually, it’s quite scandalous that the official wife of King cannot become Queen. The position of first ladies is always complicated. President Ilves had two first ladies during his term of office. Beržinš, President of Latvia, got his first lady immediately after receiving the presidential office and divorced as soon as his term was over. Putin has no first lady at all. Only Trump shows his wife off, but alas, she's not American, but pure Slovenian, with a strong Slavic accent ...</div>

<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Estonian academician Mikhail Bronstein will be celebrating his 95th jubilee on the 23<sup>rd</sup> of January. Academician Bronstein is one of the intellectuals from <span>Leningrad</span>, who arrived in <span><span>Estonia</span></span> as a member of the teaching staff and made his career in Estonian, which probably had not been possible in the conservative centres of the Soviet period. His contribution into the development of our elite has been priceless. Due to that it is logical that Bronstein also contributed to the process of the re-establishment of Estonian independence by supporting his previous students.<span></span></span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Bronstein is an expert of economy, who reached a high position by becoming Gorbachev’s councillor. He is the creator of the idea of agricultural-industrial complexes used by Mikhail Gorbachev, the member of the political bureau and the agricultural secretary of the Central Committee, when he reached the top hierarchy of the Kremlin. Undoubtedly, this activity supported Gorbachev in his movement to the position of the leader of the second super power in the world and changed the course of the world history and guaranteed Gorbachev the Noble prize.<span></span></span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">As father, the academician is definitely proud of his son Aleksander, who studied in <span><span>Tartu</span> <span>University</span></span> and has worked as a senior manager in the Ministry of Environment Protection and has currently also managed to establish himself as a successful businessman. Multi-millionaire Aleksander Bronstein has become one of the leading entrepreneurs in aluminium business. Aleksander has been the most generous financers of the re-established Synagogue in <span><span>Tallinn</span></span>. Academician Bronstein’s grandson Dan Bronstein follows his grandfather and father’s footsteps.<span></span></span></div>
<div class="x_MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; margin-bottom: 0pt; text-align: justify;">
<span lang="EN-GB" style="color: black; font-family: "Times New Roman",serif; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Academician Bronstein surprises with his vitality. He managed to be the teacher to President Lennart Meri, Prime Minister Andrus Ansip and many others in the direct meaning of the word. Bronstein is also the honorary supervisor of my Doctor’s thesis, which I defended in <span><span>St. Petersburg</span></span>. Mikhail Bronstein has not said his last word yet, happy birthday to the grand old man of Estonian Science!</span></div>

On the 2nd of October 2017, the prime minister of the Republic of Estonia Jüri Ratas met with the governing body of Mustvee town, the mayor of Mustvee Max Kaur and the chairwoman of the city council Riina Pajula in Stenbock House. At the meeting, the Estonia´s administrative reform was discussed. The governing body of Mustvee informed the Prime Minister about a successful administrative reform in Peipus area with five municipalities: Mustvee town, Avinurme parish, Saare parish, Lohusuu parish, Kasepää parish, and in addition the Võtikvere village, decided to move forward together and formed a new, large Mustvee parish with the centre in Mustvee town. The new municipality has around 6,000 inhabitants and a territory of more than 614 square kilometers. A good example of cooperation is that the merging municipalities already successfully organized the Song and Dance Festival of the Mustvee Municipality on the 23rd of September. </div>

The Prime Minister of the Republic of Estonia, Jüri Ratas, highly appreciated the efforts of local governments and stated that the main objective of administrative reform is to improve the daily lives of local people.</div>
