Ukrainians in Estonia
Ukrainians in Estonia (Ukrainian: Українці в Естонії, romanized: Ukrayintsi v Estoniyi; Estonian: Eesti ukrainlased) are the third largest ethnic group in Estonia after Estonians and Russians and number 28,000.[1] 4,000 out of them are citizens of Ukraine.
Most of the Ukrainians in Estonia live in Tallinn (2,92% of the whole population) and Harjumaa; some live in Tartu and Pärnu. The representatives of the Ukrainian ethnic minority have formed over 20 national-cultural organizations.[2] Most of the Ukrainians in Estonia support the integration of non-Estonians into Estonian society, while retaining their own cultural and ethnic particularities. For the Estonian population of Estonia, on Saturdays the fourth channel of the Estonian Radio (the Russian language channel) broadcasts Ukrainian language radio broadcast «Червона калина» ('Chervona kalina' - "Red Viburnum").
