Two Estonian farms establish 'Soviet republic,' seek recognition
ST. PETERSBURG, September 3 (RIA Novosti) - Two farms in north-east Estonia have joined forces to declare an independent "Soviet republic" and intend to seek Russia's recognition, a Russian communist organization said on Wednesday.
"We no longer want to live in bourgeois Estonia, where nobody cares about the common people...with raging unemployment and corruption, and where everything depends on NATO and the Americans," Russian communists from St Petersburg, who are assisting the 'republic,' quoted its founder, Andres Tamm, as saying.
Residents and founders of the 'Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic' have already formed a national 'Soviet government,' a police force, and have begun demarcating the state's borders.
Meanwhile, residents of the republic claim that the "bourgeois" Estonian government has sent a "squad of relatives of Estonian Nazi SS veterans" to regain control over the breakaway territory.
The republic is currently drafting a treaty of friendship with Russia to be submitted to the Russian president in the next few days.
Estonia is a former Soviet republic and a current member of both NATO and the EU.

a soviet Socialist Republic seeking friendship with capitalist Russia? TBH this sounds a little too romantic to establish any sort of permenancy. A Government in a socialist republic? They should be seeking to break down Governing bodies and minority rule and establish a working democracy for the majority as the first step towards socialism.
