The lecture will be about the influence of historical imagination on peoples’ horizons of expectation on the example of the key players in Estonian foreign policy, foreign minister Lennart Meri and prime minister Edgar Savisaar. Dr. Piirimäe will argue that individuals play a key role at “critical juncture,” so the decisions that Meri and Savisaat made in the crucial years of 1990-1991 probably influenced Estonia’s path of development for a long time.
