grey but slightly freer years post-#Stalin. As to the earlier shift from #Jaama, to ‘station’, turn-of-the-century sensibilities switching #Jaam to #Vaksal and #Vaksal to #Bahnhof or #Station could easily explain the 1907 ‘upgrade’ to the more modern #Stationsgasse/straße or #Станціонная ул

Lit. Baltic Station. Not a street, but #Tallinn’s main railway station. Odd… While Estonia borrowed #Vaksal from #Russian which borrowed it from #English #Vauxhall which borrowed it from #AngloNorman la Sale Faukes, (cf. #Vaksali),
