Abstract
The article gives an overview of the Estonian immigrant population in Finland, and on their associational activities. Despite a relatively large group, they have no large or active network of ethnic associations. The Finnish-Estonian friendship associations, mainly lead by ethnic Finns, fulfil many of the functions that in the case of other immigrant groups are taken care by the immigrants themselves.
