With Estonian-language school record books waiting to be distributed among pupils, foreground, a first grader adjusts a paper nameplate with his first name written in Russian, Arseny, while preparing for the start of classes at the Russian-speaking School No. 53 in Tallinn, in this Saturday, Sept. 1, 2007, photo. A Russian ABC book is seen in the background. For the first time, senior high-schools catering to the Baltic nation's Russian-speakers _ about one-third of the 1.3 million residents _ are required this year to teach at least one subject in Estonian. Education officials claim the program will help integrate the Russian minority. But it has unnerved ethnic Russians who are increasingly wary of what they consider a campaign to rob them of their cultural identity. (AP Photo/NIPA, Timur Nisametdinov) Timur Nisametdinov
