Primarily two confessions, the Lutheran and Orthodox faiths, have to be considered in the Estonian context. Starting from the Reformation that took place in the 16th century, the Lutheran faith prevailed in Estonia. Baltic Germans and most Estonians belonged to this confession. The Orthodox faith rose to the agenda only in connection with the extensive religious conversion movement of the 1840s. The Riga Vicar Diocese (covering the governorates of Livland and Courland) was established in 1836 as part of the Pskov Diocese and became an independent diocese in 1850. The Governorate of Estland was part of the St Petersburg Diocese until 1865. Thereafter it became part of the Riga Diocese. By the start of the 20th century, Orthodox believers accounted for a fifth of Estonia’s population. It is unclear how large a part of all Orthodox believers...

Nõukogude võim kasutas laulupidude traditsiooni propagandistlikel eesmär-kidel, korraldades laulupeol rahvarõivaste kandmiseks ulatusliku kampaania. The article discusses the role of Soviet ideology and authorities when preparing the 12th general song festival of Estonia in 1947-the first during Soviet rule. The Soviet authorities used the tradition of song festivals for propa-gandistic aims. For that purpose, the overall campaign for wearing national costumes by the choirs was launched.

In addition, based on archival sources, an explanation isprovided of the reception of Eduard Wiiralt’s work in occupiedEstonia until the end of the 1950s.Despite the common belief that Wiiralt was totally ignored duringthe Stalinist period in Estonia, he was still included in the art historycurricula of the official schools of higher education. Many of thestudents at that time were soon actively helping to restore publicrecognition to Wiiralt, which occurred after the artist’s death in1954. The introduction of Wiiralt’s oeuvre in Estonia was precededby an exhibition in Moscow in 1956. It is possible that the matchboxpicture that was sent to Estonia in a letter on 15 February 1959 wasnot the first original post-war work by Wiiralt to arrive here. Theowner had the picture made in...

The key persons of this process were undoubtedly teachers, preferably those who had arrived from the Soviet Union (especially Estonians from Russia) or young people taught in Estonia in the spirit of new educational ideas. A great shift took place in the Estonian teacher community at that time. Altogether 4,176 teachers are known to have been fired, dismissed at their own request or transferred to another position during the period of 1946–1950. The only counterbalance was preparing new teachers locally. In the post-war years, high school teachers were trained only at Tartu State University, which was exceptional in the Soviet Union because elsewhere it was mainly done in pedagogical institutes. The article studies the substantial and formal changes in the sovietisation of teacher training that were realised through complying with union-wide regula...

Up to 80,000 Estonians fled from Estonia to the West due to the Second World War. Information on Estonia and the West was distorted by way of propaganda and censorship until the end of the Soviet occupation. The situation was at its most complicated during the Stalinist years, when information and the movement of information were controlled particularly stringently. The only possible communication channel between Estonia and the West for private individuals during the era of totalitarianism was the exchange of letters, and even this was exceedingly restricted and controlled. The unique correspondence between Kusta Mannermaa (1888–1959) and his nephew Väino Veemees (1919–1987) and a friend named Ja...
