    On the Border of Two Worlds

    Mighty kings and seven hundred years of great wars could not destroy the small Seto nation, even if the fifty years of the Soviet regime has been extremely hard. After World War 2, the ancient habitat of Setu peoples - Pechorsky district that had belonged to the first Republic of Estonia – was annexed to Russia. Half of the Seto population of five thousand people remained in Estonia and the other half in Russia. The life of both halves has been very different. And despite that the small nation attemps to preserve their mentality and language, religious traditions, to cherish and develop their unique folk culture and their ancestors' intellectual heritage. Despite the harsh historical events, the Seto people in Estonia has survived and preserved the consistency of their cultural heritage.
