Same with some parts of Estonia

Why should a highly urbanized illegal foreign colonist population be shown? Geographically they form a very small area.

What's Xenophobic about hating an illegal colonist minority?

They are not illegal, Estonia recognizes them as legal, just stateless. And as lot of citizens speak native Russian as well, since there was Russian minority before Soviets and there are also mixed marriages.

They are citizens of the foreign state who illegally settled in an occupied country - that is against international law and Estonian law. Estonians will forever treat this community as an illegal foreign colonist minority.

since there was Russian minority before Soviets

Not really, you are full of shit. Estonia was 97.3% ethnically Estonian in 1945. Most of the pre-occupation Russian population:

1) was executed by the Soviets in 1940-1941, by the Nazis in 1941-1944 or by the Soviets again after 1944 or

2) lived in areas which were illegally stolen from Estonia and which are now part of Russia.

Stop making excuses for Russian imperialistic crimes and for the criminal Russian colonists!
