that sure sounds like a question in dire need of a solution!

Only if you consider a 100 year old border a dire situation. Otherwise it would make way more sense economically for Russia to offer to resettle anyone interested no longer being Estonian instead of invading yet another sovereign country.
The present border is more like 80 year old, it was adjusted by the USSR (favouring Russia) after the Baltics were annexed in 1940.

However, it generally follows the pre-1917 borders of the Governorates of Estland and Livonia.

I was unable to find a map overlaying pre-1917 borders and current borders.
