DEVELOPMENT

of possible problems with the methodology of the World
Values Survey, and the fact that the survey includes far
from all of the values that people may consider to be
important in their lives, this is probably the best attempt
so far for comparing the value preferences of various peoples
over time. Estonia’s position on the cultural map of
the world – with a strong focus on secular-rational values,
but also on values related to survival – reflects, to a great
extent, our position on the geopolitical map, on the crossroads
between Northern and Eastern Europe. Thus, we
cannot help that Estonia’s actual position on both maps
diverges somewhat from the position in which we would
wish, or imagine, ourselves to be, which is closer to the
Nordic ideal.
