Anyway, it turns out that Estonia was a part of the Soviet Union (which I sort of knew) but also long before that in the 18th century it was also invaded by the Swedes (presumably before they dedicated their time to inventing saunas and porn movies). My source for all this info is the production manager for the local promoters of the show I am in and he says that in Estonia they refer to the period of Swedish occupation as the "the good old days".
To my mind that phrase "the good old days" implies that someone is still around to talk about it. Maybe the cold keeps people fresh for longer.
