I asked for numbers about:
What your numbers don't show is the class war. The people who were deported, were they part of the elite or regular citizens?
It also seems like the migrants are not only Russians:

What I don't understand is the logic of the resettlement. Most migrants are in one county close to Russia. That's only a bit more helpful to influence the population than having them live across the border in Russia.
Glad you're focused on how they shipped more resources to moscow and leningrad instead of the human impact. Tells a lot about you.
I didn't, but you haven't continued that part:
Btw, your human impact argument is almost entirely about the racial purity of Estonia. I think you don't see the danger of that. The capitalistic elite uses that identity to let the workers fight against Communism and now Russia. Once control is established, wages will be reduced as you can see in Germany after reunification. You can't rely on trickle down economics. On top, within the EU, Estonian companies may not even be owned by Estonians.
Then Estonians will not be able to afford children and the companies will seek migrant workers, as you can see in other parts of the EU.
Look at the elections of South American governments and the US prison population or US health care. That's the final development you are rooting for.
That doesn't mean that we should bring back the USSR or hand over Europe to Putin. Just make sure that your aversion of Russia isn't used against you.
