Estonia, again in the words of the onely lanet uide doesn t have to struggle to find a point of difference: it s completely uni ue. t shares a similar geography and history with atvia and ithuania ut culturally it s distinct. ts closest ethnic and linguistic uddy is Finland and although they may love to get na ed together in the sauna years of oviet rule in stonia have separated the two. For the last years stonia s een lin ed to ussia ut the two states have as much in common as a arn swallow and a ear their respective national sym ols .
