Books of propaganda II – Kihnu

“Kihnu” by Enn Kärmas. Publishing House “Eesti Raamat”, Tallinn 1975.

Book tells us that while belonging into friendly family of Soviet Union lots of things changed in this tiny Estonian island – now over the roofs are hanging new television aerials, in front of the houses new motorbikes have been parked, modern stoves are efficiently smoking fish. Washing machines and refrigerators are not rarity items in the fisherman’s houses any more…

At the time this book was published there was only one guest house with the name “Rock City”(not a translation from the Estonian name but originally it had the name in English).
