National processes in Estonia from 1940 to the present are the result of policies that diminish the viability of a nation. Ethnic consolidation has been violated by immigration to Estonia so massive that it could make Estonians a minority in their native land; also, the repressive effects of total bilingualism have threatened the Estonian language. Public opinion polls on interethnic relations in Estonia conducted in 1986 & 1988 show increasingly pessimistic attitudes among Estonians, but also less optimistic attitudes of Russians & other nationalities. It is suggested that national processes be analyzed on the level of national policies, & interethnic relations as individual attitudes. 1 Table, 2 References. A. Devic
