I used to work with a girl who was from Estonia, but was ethnically Russian. She was pretty open about her dislike for Estonians and claimed that Estonia should be part of Russia. More than 25% of their population are Russian, and half of them were actually born in Russia, and almost all the rest are 1st or 2nd generation.

Nice person otherwise, but there is a lot of indoctrination among Russian settlers and their descendants within former Soviet countries. The partial Rusification of the Baltic states has always been an elephant in the room when they were admitted into NATO. Depending how this war goes, there could be a lot of infighting there.
