Tallinn is the capital and largest city in Estonia. It lies on the northern coast
of Estonia on the Gulf of Finland. The city is an important industrial,
political and cultural center and seaport. Tallinn´s population is
registered 400,200 (as of May 2007). According to Eurostat, the statistical
agency of the European Union, of all EU member states´ capital cities, Tallinn
has the largest number of non-EU nationals: 27.8% of its population are not EU citizens.
This is because colonisation from other Soviet republics during the
period of Soviet occupation (1944-1991) brought large numbers of non-Estonians,
mostly Russians, to Tallinn and other areas of Northern Estonia.
