"Estonia" is always relevant like Titanic
The drowning of 852 people must not remain forever shrouded in mystery in today's society. Three decades is a long enough time to bring the truth about what happened to the public. The leaders and officials of the time, who probably have more and more precise information about what happened, should start speaking publicly first. Is it not a coincidence that the KGB agent from 1978 Herman Simm was roaming around the Estonian shipwreck ? The same Herman Simm acted as police prefect in Harju County during the days of the Estonia ferry disaster. After all, Simm was also the head of the Estonian police from December 1994. This was an important part, because there was a strange activity in the takeover of the military base in Paldiski, Harju county. It is well known that when "Estonia" went on a trip on 28.09.1994, military exercises took place in the Baltic Sea. In this case, misguided or non-misleading shots at Estonia cannot be ruled out. It is incomprehensible why the ships, which were currently conducting exercises, did not conduct a rescue operation to save civilians. Now it is known which country blocked the calls from Estonia. And why were Estonian leaders silent about all this? It is clear that today, more than ever, we need an investigation to find out the causes of the sinking of the Estonia ferry and the related circumstances. Estonia as a country could act as a real example, showing that the priority for our country is the citizens and the safety of its people. I am also directly involved in the matter, as I lost three close people in the accident - my grandmother was among the passengers, my sister and girlfriend were among the ship's crew.

Deputies met with the leadership of the Warsaw City Council and delivered humanitarian aid
The Estonian delegation met with Warsaw City Council members and committee chairpersons Mariusz Frankowski and Aleksandra Snegotskaya-Gozdik at the Palace of Culture and Science in the capital of Poland, which is facing the largest number of refugees in Europe since World War II. During the meeting, they discussed the Polish experience of accepting refugees and the possibility of its application in Estonian self-governments.
The delegation also included Deputy of the Tallinn City Council Toomas Uibo (Eesti 200 Party), ex-head of the municipalities of Jõhvi and Mustvee Max Kaur (Centre Party) and ex-deputy of the Estonian Parliament, political scientist Aarne Veedla (Reform Party).
A delegation from Estonia delivered to Poland three hundred packs of various iPharma vitamins (www.ipharma.ee), provided free of charge by Repforce OU, and other necessary assistance. The humanitarian visit to Warsaw was made possible thanks to the joint work of the electoral union "Voice of Maardu" and the faction of the Tallinn City Assembly of the "Estonia 200" party, as well as the personal financial contribution of the head of the humanitarian delegation, Nikolai Degtyarenko.
The Estonian delegation visited various centers for refugees in the capital of Poland, including the National Stadium, met with refugees and volunteers.

Our Academician 98
Estonian academician Mikhail Bronstein celebrates his 98th anniversary on the 23 of January. Academician Bronstein is one of those intellectuals from St. Petersburg who came to Estonia as a lecturer and made a career in Estonia that perhaps would have been impossible in conservative Soviet centres. His contribution in raising our elite has been invaluable. Therefore, it is logical that Bronstein also contributed much to the process of restoring Estonia's independence by supporting his former students.
