On 23 February 2016, the President of the Republic of Estonia Toomas Hendrik Ilves bestowed national decorations. Vera Oinets was one of those to receive the Order of the White Star, fifth class. Vera is the head of the Krasnoyarsk Estonian Society; for 25 years, she has kept Estonian culture and traditions alive and developed cultural ties far away from the homeland.
The Baltic Heritage Network would like to congratulate its good friend and cooperation partner on being granted this honorary decoration, and we wish her all the best in her continued work!
