About Estonian Women

The international marriage industry is far less developed in Estonia than in former Soviet countries such as Russia and Ukraine, mainly due to the fact that Estonia only has a small population (1.4 million). It is, however, very possible to meet women from Estonia, both via online dating and or simply by visiting this modern, easy-going Baltic country.

How do Estonia women compare to women from Russia and Ukraine?

Well, as more than a quarter of the population in Estonia is of Russian (or Ukrainian) origin, they are very similar. Also, the fact that Estonia is located on the north-eastern border of Russia (close to St Petersburg), and their being a part of the former Soviet Union, means that 'Russian' culture is very intertwined in Estonian lifestyle.

As with all of the Baltic countries, you will notice that the lifestyle in Estonia is very "European". You'll also notice this in St Petersburg, in Russia, and no doubt this has a lot to do with its geographical proximity and the important trade routes that historically came through the Baltic region from Western Europe.

What language do they speak in Estonia?

The official language of Estonia is Estonian.

The Estonian language is closely related to Finnish, and despite their close proximity to Russia, it is not at all related to Russian.

The Russian language is, however, widely spoken by a large majority of the population as a direct result of the Soviet period.

You will find that a knowledge of Russian is very useful in Estonia, especially in the major cities such as Tallinn. For this reason, we recommend learning Russian as you will be able to use it in many other countries including Russia, Ukraine and Belarus.

This is mainly due to the small population (1.4 million) in comparison with Russia and Ukraine.

Estonia is, however, a very modern, friendly country with a high standard of living. Tourism has boomed in recent times in Estonia, especially since their entry into the European Union, and it is easy to visit as a "do-it-yourself" tourist.
