Mustvee is a town and municipality in Estonia [1]. It lies on the shore of Lake Peipus, in Kasepaa in the county of Jõgeva and is the largest population centre for 80km [2]. Its population of 1,800 is approximately half Estonian and half Russian. The name of Mustvee was first recorded in 1343 at the time of reign of Livonian order. It became a haven for Russian Russian Old Believers after the Russian government declared them outlaws in 1658. Mustvee has held fairs for the past two centuries. Due to its position at the broadest part of the lake, this traditional fishing town is increasingly popular as a tourist centre.
