Estonia: The Mouse That Roared?
In today's interconnected world, minor events in the world's lesser-known regions can have major geopolitical consequences. According to former Eurasia Program committee member Robert Kaiser, this is precisely what happened when Estonia, a tiny Baltic state, decided to relocate a Soviet war memorial that for many years had stood in its capital city. Kaiser argues that moving the Bronze Soldier of Tallinn had the effect not only of chilling Estonia's relations with Russia still further but also of reviving cold war thinking and rhetoric in the European Union and the United States.
