The Carlsons at Home in Estonia, 1926-1937
The Carlsons: At Home in Estonia U.S. Consul Harry E. Carlson (Eesti Filmiarhiiv) U.S. Consul Harry E. Carlson and his wife Laura Reynert Carlson were two early fans of Estonia. While the normal tour of duty for a U.S. Consul was just two years, the Carlsons spent almost eleven years in Tallinn from 1926 to 1937. They liked life in Estonia so much that they kept summer homes in Haapsalu and Valgejõe where they spent their weekends and summers just like many Estonian couples. Making Estonia into a real family home, Harry and Laura's son Harry Edwin Reynert Carlson was born in Tallinn on October 21, 1927 – thereby setting a precedent which many U.S. diplomats have since followed. Harry Jr.'s sister Margaret Elisabeth Reynert Carlson was born here several years later on January 30, 1932. The Carlson's made themselves at home in Estonia in many other ways. Harry was a well-known fisherman and went fishing every chance he got. On February 1, 1937, Rahvaleht described Harry as belonging to a "family of famous sports fishermen." Like many Americans, Harry also liked to drive – he would take his car and drive his family all across Estonia to fish or spend time in the country-side. According to Postimees (May 5, 1932), one of the Carlsons' favorite places was Rõuge in southern Estonia near the town of Võru. By the end of his extended tour in Estonia, Harry seemed to have developed a particular affinity for Estonian summers. During his farewell interview to Uus Eesti (January 21, 1937), Harry was quoted as saying: "Estonia is not so rich in nature and the climate here is not that pleasant either, but the short Estonian summer is very appealing." By the time the Carlsons left for their onward assignment in London on February 1, 1937, they seem to have adjusted quite well to life in Estonia.

The University of Chicago Smuggler States: Poland, Latvia, Estonia, and Contraband Trade Across the Soviet Frontier, 1919-1924
THE UNIVERSITY OF CHICAGO SMUGGLER STATES: POLAND, LATVIA, ESTONIA, AND CONTRABAND TRADE ACROSS THE SOVIET FRONTIER, 1919-1924 A DISSERTATION SUBMITTED TO THE FACULTY OF THE DIVISION OF THE SOCIAL SCIENCES IN CANDIDACY FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEPARTMENT OF HISTORY BY ANDREY ALEXANDER SHLYAKHTER CHICAGO, ILLINOIS DECEMBER 2020 Илюше Abstract Smuggler States: Poland, Latvia, Estonia, and Contraband Trade Across the Soviet Frontier, 1919-1924 What happens to an imperial economy after empire? How do economics, security, power, and ideology interact at the new state frontiers? Does trade always break down ideological barriers? The eastern borders of Poland, Latvia, and Estonia comprised much of the interwar Soviet state’s western frontier – the focus of Moscow’s revolutionary aspirations and security concerns. These young nations paid for their independence with the loss of the Imperial Russian market. Łódź, the “Polish Manchester,” had fashioned its textiles for Russian and Ukrainian consumers; Riga had been the Empire’s busiest commercial port; Tallinn had been one of the busiest – and Russians drank nine-tenths of the potato vodka distilled on Estonian estates. Eager to reclaim their traditional market, but stymied by the Soviet state monopoly on foreign trade and impatient with the slow grind of trade talks, these countries’ businessmen turned to the porous Soviet frontier. The dissertation reveals how, despite considerable misgivings, their governments actively abetted this traffic. The Polish and Baltic struggles to balance the heady profits of the “border trade” against a host of security concerns shaped everyday lives and government decisions on both sides of the Soviet frontier.

Estonia Today
80 YEARS OF JUNE DEPORTATIONS 1. 80 YEARS OF JUNE DEPORTATIONS In June 1941, within one week about 95 000 people from Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, and Bessarabia (Moldova) were deported to the Soviet Union. This mass operation was carried out simultaneously in Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia – between 14 and 17 June 1941. The operation saw the arrest of all people who were still at liberty and considered a thorn in the side of the occupying forces, mainly members of the political, military and economic elite who had been instrumental in building the independence of their states. They were taken to prison camps where most of them were executed or perished within a year. Their family members, including elderly people and children, were arrested alongside them, and they were subsequently separated and deported to the “distant regions” of the Soviet Union with extremely harsh living conditions. To cover their tracks, the authorities also sent a certain number of criminals to the camps. Prologue • As a result of the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact signed between Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union on 23 August 1939, the Soviet Union occupied Estonia in June 1940. • Preparations for the launch of communist terror in civil society were made already before the occupation. As elsewhere, its purpose was to suppress any possible resistance of the society from the very beginning and to instil fear in people to rule out any organised resistance movement in the future. • The decision to carry out this mass operation was made at the suggestion of Soviet State Security chiefs Lavrentiy Beria and Vsevolod Merkolov in Moscow on 16 May 1941.

Estonian Military Diplomacy During the War of Independence
Estonian military diplomacy during the War of Independence Karsten Brüggemann Professor of General and Estonian History at Uni- versity of Tallinn Talk given in Tallinn on 24 October 2008 at the conference “For Estonia. 90 years of foreign policy and diplomacy” Celebrating historical anniversaries always puts the historian in an odd situation. On the one hand, he of course shares the feeling of taking part in society looking back into the past, and he likes the attention that is paid to his profession in times of those anniversaries. On the other hand, as a professional he must be aware of the simple fact that it’s society that obviously is in need of this sort of orientation with the past. A historical event, however, cannot be seen as isolated, like a human being whose birthday we usually celebrate in the same manner. Historical events are not simply ‘born’, they do not die. They don’t actually have birthdays. Still, the ‘great tales’ of the 20th century often use the semantic power of such metaphors, like for instance in Eduard Laaman’s classic Eesti iseseisvuse sünd (1936/1964). From an anthropologic point of view, it’s obvious why we like to look at a state or a nation as a living organism, a vision that in times of real danger may be exploited symbolically in order to construct unanimity among a given group of people. According to the laws of nature, however, everything that was born sooner or later will die. But I guess that’s not why we’re here..

The Soviet Union, Lithuania and the Establishment of the Baltic Entente *
FROM THE PAST The Soviet Union, Lithuania and the Establishment of the Baltic Entente * Magnus Ilmjärv The problem concerning the attitude of the Soviet Government towards the establishment of the Baltic Entente, i.e. the agreement of mutual assistance concluded between Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania, in Geneva on September 12, 1934, has so far been dealt with slightly. There is not much known about the reasons that forced Lithuania to change its earlier negative attitude towards Baltic cooperation. In this respect, the lack of knowledge can be explained by the inaccessibility of Eastern archives, especially the Archive of the Soviet Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The official Soviet interpretation, cited in the history books, was that in 1934, the Soviet Government approved of cooperation between the Baltic States because the Baltic Entente was looked upon as a possibility to strengthen the independence of Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and to prevent German expansion in the Baltics. The real reasons and Soviet intentions were not mentioned. The objectives of this article are to explain Soviet policy toward the Baltic States in 1933-1934, during the period when major political changes took place in Europe. These changes include the coming to power of the Nazis in Germany, the conclusion of a non- aggression pact between Poland and Germany and the end of the Rapallo policy; to answer the question why the Soviet Union began to support Baltic cooperation that it had so far opposed. Another question regarding Baltic cooperation is whether cooperation was seriously looked upon by the three states as a means of safeguarding their independence, or, was it simply a move by the three authoritarian regimes to mislead public opinion.
