Estonia was a part of the Soviet Union, and the Soviets had some pretty good crypto by Cold War standards.

yeah, and we see now how "democratic" is Russia now, so your observations about Soviet Union crypto specialists and this topic about Estonia's E-systems is totally unrelated.

Sorry, but calling todays Estonia 'the soviet socialist republic' is just plain stupid.

I haven't heard that Germany is called former na%i state when refering to country.

Probably too many 'offensive' keywords.
