Dear EKN-I'm sorry for the flack you have had to deal with, and certainly there is no grounds for it at all. There are just too many former communists in the present political ring, and though some have certainly changed their ways and ideas, others see democracy as an opportunity to camoflage onself and work from a position of distance. One politician that annoys me intensely for this very reason is Villu Reiljan, a typical ex-communist who always has a smerk on his face and looks as though the need to don a coat of seriousness in the name of Estonian politics doesn't seem to get through to him. And hi is just the thin end of a very thick wedge of similar politicians. Please, oh please don't give up the political struggle you have fought so long, because there are just as many "fellow-travellers" roaming around Toompea looking as thought they are doing the Eesti thing, when really they are wolves in sheep's clothing.
