Bilingual?
Yes. There's over three hundred thousand that speaks Russian nativly and well over a half of population knows the language.
But…
1. Estonia has only one national language – and it is Estonian.
2. Knowledge of Russian is roughly at bar with knowledge of English through out the population – by statistics, over a half of the population knows those two along with the Estonian itself, meaning majority knows at least three languages in various levels. There are around 10% monoglots (or less). Not even a half is bilingual though (native speaker of more than one language).
3. Russian is recognized minority language, as well as, a Estonian-Russian dialect (starovary); Southern-Estonian(Võro; Seto), Finnish; Swedish; Jidish; Ukrainian; and several others.
