I guess you can teach a Ruskie new tricks

The Estonian government ruled on Thursday to grant Estonian citizenship to 838 people, mostly Russian- speaking ones.

These people have complied with all necessary criteria and passed tests on the knowledge of the Estonian language, the constitution, and the law On Citizenship, the government press service told Interfax.

The government plans to naturalize annually about 5,000 aliens in the coming years.

Out of 1.4 million people living in Estonia at the present time, some 125,000 have no citizenship and about 100,000 others are citizens of Russia and other former Soviet republics.
