This was the time of the crystallization and the culmination of serfdom, when various socio- political and cultural undercurrents were also active, preparing the ground for the industrial society and the national-democratic movement in the second half of the 19th century. The 1710 of the corporations of knights and towns, until Alexander II (1855­1881), established the relationships between Estonia, Livonia and the Russian Empire. The Baltic

go study or live abroad, the population is aging as well – young people move away, while older stay there. Many different nationalities live there: besides Estonians there are Russians, Ukrainians, Belarussians, Finnish, Tatars, Latvians, Poles, Lithuanians, Jews, Germans and others. Due to this fact, the most popular languages spoken as a mother language are Estonian, Russian and Ukrainian. Nevertheless, there is still just one official language of Estonia, which is Estonian. Most of the people, approximately 900,000 live in the cities, such as Tallinn, Tartu, Narva. The most common sector that people work in is the service sector. People in Estonia are also involved in other sectors of industry, such as wood, construction, electronic and energy. Estonia is a democratic parliamentary republic. It has a single-chamber parliament with 101 members that are elected by the people in every four years. It is called Riigikogu.

Why should tourists visit Estonia?

Nowadays you can see that on the isles. There are a lot of islands and islets all around Estonia. Saaremaa and Hiiumaa are the bigest. On every summer there are all kind of parties and get-togethers for the inhabitants. Many tourists like to attend them because through them they get the right idea and feeling from our country. People here are friendly and hospitable,some even say that estonians are reserved but I don`t think those people who say that have seen the real estonian personality and behaviour. I belive there are many cities in Estonia that are worth visiting.Most tourists come to Tallinn,the capital of Estonia,and they don`t go any further than that . It may be because they don`t know where to go and what possibilities are there for them. Others how-ever try to avoid the capitals when-ever travelling. For them going to the countryside is the best way to relax and to get to know the real living standards.
