Enjoying Europe, yearning for Russia? Russian travel writing on the Baltic provinces during the 19th century
After the end of the Napoleonic Wars it became popular in the Russian Empire to investigate one’s own country. Inspired by Alexander Bestuzhev-Marlinskii’s bestseller A Journey to Reval (1821), the Russian elite also travelled through the Baltic provinces with their romantic medieval ruins and Hanseatic cities. During the first half of the nineteenth century, Baltic German culture was usually understood as enhancing Russia’s imperial diversity an…
Glokaalne Eesti? Väikese kultuuri imperiaalsest mõõtmest tsaaririigi võimu all
1836. aastal avastas mõjukas Venemaa rahvahariduse ministeeriumi ajakiri (vn Журнал Министерства народного просвещения) n-ö eesti müüdi. Väljaanne oli asutatud vaid kaks aastat varem eesmärgiga teavitada tsaaririigi väikesearvulist lugejaskonda ametlikest eeskirjadest ning haridus- ja teadusvaldkonna arengutest. Nüüd avaldati selles lühike tõlge uues kohalikus saksakeelses ajakirjas Das Inland ilmunud teatest vana eesti muistendi kohta, mis kõne…

Remains of the Soviet Past in Estonia
The FRINGE series explores the roles that complexity, ambivalence and immeasurability play in social and cultural phenomena.A cross-disciplinary initiative bringing together researchers from the humanities, social sciences and area studies, the series examines how seemingly opposed notions such as centrality and marginality, clarity and ambiguity, can shift and converge when embedded in everyday practices
Yearning for Social Change
In general, histories of the Russian Revolution do not touch upon events in the Baltic provinces of the empire in any detail. Only the apparently exceptionally large number of Latvians who supported the Bolsheviks in the election to the Russian Constituent Assembly (72%) is mentioned. This paper argues with Ronald G. Suny's typologization of imperial ethnic groups according to their relationship to ‘class’ and ‘nationalism’ in order to qualify th…

Celebrating Final Victory in Estonia’s ‘Great Battle for Freedom’
On 23 June 1934 the young republic of Estonia, founded in 1918, celebrated her Victory Day for the first time. An official brochure produced for this occasion explained what had happened during the days of the Estonian War of Independence exactly 15 years before, in June 1919, on the ‘fields of Cēsis’ (Est. Võnnu; Germ. Wenden) in Latvia: here, the text reads, where already ‘our forefathers had fought their fateful wars with the crusaders [...], …
Singing oneself into a nation’? Estonian song festivals as rituals of political mobilisation
This article argues that Estonian song festivals were a powerful ritual of political mobilisation. Throughout their history, however, they had to be accommodated to narratives of ruling regimes. Taking Patrick Hutton's concept of such events as a ‘moment of memory’ with which images of the past are being reconstructed in a selective way, song festivals are on each occasion made to suit present needs. During the history of Estonian nationhood, the…

The Politics of History and the “War of Monuments” in Estonia
After darkness fell over the provincial town of Lihula on 2 September 2004, youths pelted riot police with stones. Nothing like this had ever happened before in the peaceful and orderly small Baltic State of Estonia. The police were protecting a crane and its driver sent by the Ministry of the Interior to remove a monument honouring those Estonians who fought on the German side against the Red Army during the Second World War. In the evening of 2…
Foreign Rule” during the Estonian War of Independence 1918–1920
This article investigates the relationship between the national and Bolshevik solutions to the national question during the Estonian War of Independence of 1918–20. Specifically, it examines the failure of the Estonian Workers' Commune, starting from the assumption that as late as November 1918 the fate of the country was still up for grabs, and that the Bolshevik alternative was attractive to all those for whom a social revolution promised a “ne…
Defending national sovereignty against two Russias
This article examines the establishment of Estonian independence from a wider perspective including the Petrograd front of the Russian Civil War which had a decisive influence on securing Estonia's independence. The contradictory military cooperation between the Estonian army and the White Russian troops under command of General Iudenich, who was an ardent fighter for a Greater Russia that also included Estonia, was skillfully used by the Estonia…
