If the story of Indian tourists "getting beat up by a group of locals in Estonia" would really have any connection to reality, it would have been widely reported by pro-Russian propagandists around the world.
If anyone is actually getting beat up (especially for racially motivated reasons) de-escalation part has obviously been too late and a police report and sensationalised news reporting would follow.
I do not know what you think you saw but both of your stories in regards to Estonia are most definitely exaggerated.
Stories that in any way serve the "Balts = nazis or racist" narrative do get reported by services that actively work to propagandize anything against Baltic States.
The cases where anyone would be physically assaulted do get followed up by calls to medics and police unless for some reason the victims and eye-witnesses themselves would collectively have any specific reason to cover anything up.
generally, it's just sad that they continue to not take the path we took. They're continuing to be a mere sattelite of the russian sphere and don't shape their economic and geopolical strategy to economically advance. They just exist and that's it.
As for in terms of culture, we definitely appreciate caucususes and central asia more than other Europeans appreciate them. They're great. But not really close to us, except maybe Georgia.
but i don't think that means that you get a big exception when it comes to immigration policy, according a lot of young people who are now leaning for stricter law.
But they are fighting to get out from it . It is not an easy task , can you see what is happening with Georgians , Mordor makes everything to hold them into captivity as much as possible
Their government supports Ukraine, speaks out against Nazi Russia, and reveals its crimes and true face. And majority of population dislike Russia and Ruzzians
I am very curious, why that is not true . Aliev and his fellow politicians frequently speak out against Tankies and Putler and express his support for Ukraine , or it did it never happen ?
That’s a stretch. Lithuanians think positively of Sakartvelo, yes, but more than about other Europeans? Personally I don’t feel any connection to Caucasus at all and I don’t even think about them. Not even speaking about Central Asia as for what I care they’re as far away as China. I appreciate Spain, France, Germany, Italy, Scandi-countries much more.
I think the opinions depend on generations, but from my POV, nobody really thinks of the other post-soviet countries (besides BLR & UKR). Most of them have been seen as corrupt places and pre-2022, with worse life standards than Russia (on paper, at least). Georgia stands out, especially in the context of 2008-war but other than that, I think people want to do with "čurkas" as little as possible.
There was this one crazy ruzzian guy on YT who was driving like a maniac in Lithuania while filming himself and drinking vodka. He crashed into an power station. Drug addicts could be part of this group really easily and high chance ruskies too.
I don't care about thise any more than any other foreign countries. And I do not mind foreigners, who integrate, what everyone dislikes is people thinking we need to speak whatever international language they know in our country, instead of them learning our language.

no, i saw it in real life actually with a friend , we had to step in to de-escalate

i mean i unfortunately did witness it, but i doubt every case like this goes to news or even gets reported really

Why lie

They are not so pro-russian, especially since later times
I didn't say "they are pro Russian". I said they are complicit in the Russian sphere of influence.
But they are fighting to get out from it . It is not an easy task , can you see what is happening with Georgians , Mordor makes everything to hold them into captivity as much as possible
who is? maybe someone is, someone always is. But vast majority do not, unlike baltics
Their government supports Ukraine, speaks out against Nazi Russia, and reveals its crimes and true face. And majority of population dislike Russia and Ruzzians
that's not true
btw I'm speaking of all of the regions I mentioned, not just Georgia. Most Georgians are fine with Russia, but sure, there's more resistance there.
That's not true , can you elaborate this more
I don't think I have the need to.
I am very curious, why that is not true . Aliev and his fellow politicians frequently speak out against Tankies and Putler and express his support for Ukraine , or it did it never happen ?
And they make the largest foreign fighting group fighting for Ukraine against Russia
okay
“more than other europeans”
That’s a stretch. Lithuanians think positively of Sakartvelo, yes, but more than about other Europeans? Personally I don’t feel any connection to Caucasus at all and I don’t even think about them.

no, it was bad formulation, sorry. I meant that we appreciate Georgians, than French appreciate Georgians.

Why would you immediately talk about Russians?
huh i dont get it
There was this one crazy ruzzian guy on YT who was driving like a maniac in Lithuania while filming himself and drinking vodka. He crashed into an power station. Drug addicts could be part of this group really easily and high chance ruskies too.
Story sounds like this person was a Russian in Tallinn.
