Encyclopedic overview
The Pakri islands (Estonian: Pakri saared, Swedish: Rågöarna) are two Estonian islands in the Gulf of Finland of the Baltic Sea: Suur-Pakri and Väike-Pakri (Swedish: Stora Rågö and Lilla Rågö). Administratively the islands are part of the town of Paldiski. For centuries the two islands were inhabited by Estonian Swedes, until during World War II their entire civilian population was forced to leave.
