Saatse Boot
The Saatse Boot ((エストニア語:Saatse saabas)) is an area of Russian territory of that extends through the road between the Estonian villages of Lutepää and Sesniki (themselves between the larger settlement Värska and village of Saatse) in Värska Parish. The piece of land resembles a boot, which is why it is given such name.
It is notable as until recently it meant that the Estonian villages of Sesniki, Ulitina and Saatse were effectively enclaves, as by road they could only be reached by travelling 900 m through Russian territory.〔http://www.estonianhandbook.eu/?incl=touristattractions〕 Russia does not require any permit for driving through the area, though it is forbidden to pass through the area on foot or stop one's car. People who stop their car (also because of lack of fuel) or picking mushrooms are arrested and released after interrogations and payment of fines.〔(Border tweak steals tourism magnet ) (Postimees 7 Aug 2013)〕 The road has gravel surface. Russia allows Estonia to maintain the road, but not to rebuild it. Estonia want to dig ditches and to pave the road, which is not allowed.〔
In 2008 a new road connecting Sesniki to Matsuri opened, making it possible to reach the aforementioned villages without necessarily passing through the 'boot'. This is however a 15–20 km detour if going from Värska.
==Background==
The current Estonian-Russian border in Setumaa was established in 1944 when most of the territory of Estonian Petseri County was transferred to Russian SFSR. During the Soviet era it was merely an administrative border between two constituent republics of the Soviet Union. Estonia regained independence in 1991 and since then the same border (officially referred to as 'line of control' by Estonia) has been the international border between the two countries.
