Its population is a quarter Russian, and Narva itself is 95 percent Russian. Economic, social, and political inequality that favors ethnic Estonians over Estonia&#8217;s Russians (many of them noncitizens) constitutes an additional source of insecurity. This presentation describes the case for understanding Estonia&#8217;s inequality as a threat to national security and suggests ways to remedy it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>About the speaker<\/em>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/matthewevangelista.com\/\">Matthew Evangelista<\/a> is President White Professor of History and Political Science Emeritus in the Department of Government at Cornell Univerity, USA.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":409,"featured_media":32061,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"featured_image_focal_point":{"x":0.49,"y":0.51},"show_featured_caption":false,"ulux_newsletter_groups":"","uluxPostTitle":"","uluxPrePostTitle":"","_trash_the_other_posts":false,"_price":"","_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_header":"","_tribe_default_ticket_provider":"","_tribe_ticket_capacity":"0","_ticket_start_date":"","_ticket_end_date":"","_tribe_ticket_show_description":"","_tribe_ticket_show_not_going":false,"_tribe_ticket_use_global_stock":"","_tribe_ticket_global_stock_level":"","_global_stock_mode":"","_global_stock_cap":"","_tribe_rsvp_for_event":"","_tribe_ticket_going_count":"","_tribe_ticket_not_going_count":"","_tribe_tickets_list":"[]","_tribe_ticket_has_attendee_info_fields":false,"event_start_date":"2026-04-24 11:00:00","event_end_date":"2026-04-24 14:00:00","event_speaker_name":"Matthew Evangelista, Cornell University","event_speaker_link":"https:\/\/matthewevangelista.com\/","event_is_online":false,"event_location":"Campus Belval.
