This dataset was compiled within the research project PRG1052
“National Identity and Estonian–Russian Relations: a Longitudinal Study of Elite and Mass Discourses”
(2021–2025) and is a longitudinal dataset on national identity created using the Making Identity Count methodology.
It includes Estonian-language and Russian-language subsets and spans five reference years—1990, 1995, 2000, 2010, and 2020—
covering six genres: history textbooks, political leaders’ speeches, opinion articles and letters to the editor in major newspapers,
most-watched films, and best-selling works of fiction. Standardized MIC methodology was used.
