Why did attitudes towards racial mixing changed around early 1930s in Estonia? Brace yourself for a scandalous love story (on many levels!) and global connections in my article for the Estonian cultural monthly Vikerkaar vikerkaar.ee/archives/30967

I'm going to share some graphs that dig a bit into what we can make of Moldova's first round of presidential elections and the EU referendum. I'm not going to consider the diaspora and only take voters within Moldova. I'm also going to present vote shares by region.

99.5% counted
Against: 50%
