General information
My mission in the parliament is to represent the interests of the Russian speaking community in Ida-Viru County and Estonia in general, including finding a solution to the issue of citizenship. I am particularly invested in the field of education. Life in Estonia lies on a foundation of strong economy, European values, and excellent education. I am a committed champion of the co-learning school, which creates a uniform Estonian school system and puts all the Estonian children and youth on the same starting line.
