Abstract: This article focuses on the mnemonic practices of Russian Orthodox believers in Estonia. Raising a general theoretical problem of confessional memory, the article proceeds to discuss of the representation of the past in autobiographical interviews with the older generation of Russians in Estonia, born between 1910 and 1930. The mnemonic practices of the ethnic minorities are shown to differ from the public narratives (both Russian and Estonian), thereby showing heterogeneity in the memories of the Soviet past. Thus, the article concludes that the ethnic Russians in Estonia are not a coherent mnemonic community.
