When I talk to them in October, the Finnish Telecom had plans on enabling automatic calls on the telephone link between Helsinki and Tallinn (Estonia, USSR) in "early November". I got the impression, however, that this was only for calls from inside Finland. The international number for USSR is 7. Then there is a hierarchy of area codes for republics (states) and cicties. Some are: 012 Lithuania 012 2 Vilnius 013 Latvia 013 2 Riga 013 52 Jekabpils 013 54 Daugavpils 014 Estonia 014 2 Tallinn 014 34 Tartu 014 44 Parnu 095 Moscow (treated as a republic because of its size) Dialing is all (?) automatic inside USSR. The union-wide prefix is 8. When calling another city inside the same republic, the prefix seems to be 82. Examples: Dial Tallinn from outside USSR: (int. prefix) 7 014 2 ...
