The book contains ten paragraphs of which the first speaks about his biography and formation as a scientist. The second part is dedicated to the opinion of politi- cians, scientists and journalists of six countries about the author. The third part is related to the mediaeval baroque-style historical Narva, one of the most beautiful towns in Europe, which was almost fully destroyed during the war. It is the home- town of mother of the author of book. The fourth and the fifth parts speak about one of the most famous universities of Eastern Europe – the University of Tartu. They recount about the author of the book having studied at the Department of Law and Economics of the University, and about the fire in the main building of the Univer- sity. In the sixth part the author bestows a fleeting glance on his first trip abroad, when he was at last allowed to travel without USSR, to Bulgaria as a matter of fact, as late as at end of the summer 1988. The seventh paragraph is dedicated to one of the certainly grandest interrogations in the nearest history of Europe, held on 7 August 1991, immediately before the coup in Moscow (19-21 August 1991). In the eighth part the author claims that the Soviet-period mentality still thrives in the Republic of Estonia. Of interest is the comparison in the ninth part of the State of Rome and the State of Estonia. In the tenth paragraph the author considers the most important political, economic and juridical events witnessed in the whole world in the past one hundred years. The book contains ten articles, written at different time, therefore there are repeti- tions in some places of the text, but as the ancient saying goes: repetitio mater studi- orum est. The author of the book expresses his thanks to the specialist in English PhD Ants Pihlak, who edited the text and provided some help in solving some minor linguistic issues cropping up in the process. Enjoy your reading! Rector of the EuroAcademy (Tallinn) Member of Academy Yuri Martin 6 Section one Curriculum vita of Ando Leps I was born on 06 November 1935 in North Estonia, in the Virumaa County, the town of Rakvere. My father August Julius Leps (02.01.1896 parish of Adavere, county of Viljandi – 26.02.1972 Stockholm, Sweden), was attorney at law and politician, member of Riigikogu of the IV and V compositions in 1929-1937, participant of the War for Independence (1918-1920) (enlisted as a student). Mother Julie Leps (maiden name Sahk) (05.03.1893 parish of Imavere, county of Viljandi– 05.03.1985 Rakvere) was teacher of music and foreign languages. Father graduated from Department of Law of the University of Tartu in 1923 with the diploma of the 2nd class and in 1924 with the diploma of the 1st class. In Sweden he worked at library of the Uppsala University, as many representatives of Estonian intelligentsia did. He also helped the doctoral students at writing their doctoral theses. Father was proficient in about 10 foreign languages. See for instance: August Leps. Väikeriik ja diktatuur. (A small country and dictatorship) // Akadeemia 1937, no. 5; Mitte sotsialism vaid kodanlik demokraatia. (Not the Socialism but the bourgeois democracy) // Akadeemia 1940, no. 1; Eesti maarahva ülikkonnast 13 ja 14 sajandil. (Nobility of the Estonian country folk in the 13th and the 14th C.). Uppsala. 1959, manuscript; Mälestu- si… (Recollections...). Uppsala-Stockholm. 1957-67, manuscript. The Leps´family spending the summer in Narva-Jõesuu in 1938.

Reflections and remembrances 9 I started my path of school in 1943 in the 1st 6-year school of Rakvere. In 1950 I went to the 1st Secondary School of Rakvere. In 1954–1955 I studied on recommendation of Prof. Gustav Ernesaks at Tallinn and Tartu Music Secondary Schools. Because the Music Secondary School did not relieve one of the duties of service in the Soviet Army, I finished the 1st Secondary School of Rakvere in 1955 as external student. My performance was not especially outstanding in comprehensive education schools, because I did not fully feel the need to study. I was too versatile and had too many various hobbies. I have been surely much influenced by my childhood home. My father, who was a politician-attorney at law, is said to have been a very upright man. This drive for integrity has been inculcated in me since boyhood. I saw him last when I was almost 9, in September 1944. My father fled the red terror, because such scum like Johannes and Olga Lauristin and others had been after him already in 1941. All father’s assis- tants were killed. We did not know where the father had gone and whether he had altogether got to the West over the Baltic Sea. It was only a couple of years later that mother learned through relatives that father was alive and was residing in Sweden. I have a long memory reaching well into the past of the days when in mornings of Sundays I visited Rakvere with mother, during the German occupation. We went to the cinema “Skala” in Pikk Street, where children’s films were shown, such as Mickey Mouse “Wild Waves“. Before the children’s films the topical newsreels were shown, also shorter films. I remember the film about the Boer-British wars in South Africa from end 19th C. – beginning 20th C., where British invaders displayed savage cruelty with regard to peace-loving Boers, in particular children, women and the elderly. I have also deep memory of the newsreels, showing endless rows of Russian POWs, which depressed me. Because I have always stood up for the underdog, those scenes impressed on me the value of honesty – to live honourably, to harm no one, to give to each his own. In 1955 I received an invitation from the Symphonic Orchestra of the Estonian Radio to appear for an interview regarding my suitability for the position of an assistant concert-master of French-horn instrument group. I did not answer the invitation, because in 1955 I succeeded in enrolling at Department of Law and Economy of the Tartu State University, which I graduated from in 1960 with the qualification of jurist. I got the degree of Candidate in Law in 1982, at the USSR Academy of the Ministry of the Interior, Moscow. My dissertation was titled “Imitational modelling of social de- termination of criminal activity in a major region”. I got the degree of Doctor in Law in 1992, at the University of Tartu. My dissertation was titled “Criminal activity in Es- tonia (theoretical and practical issues of comparative treatment of criminal activity)”. It would be to a point to say a few words about the defence of my doctoral disserta- 10 tion at the University of Tartu. I defended the doctoral dissertation, actually mono- graph „ Criminal activity in Estonia (theoretical and practical issues of comparative treatment of criminal activity)” in the hall of Learned Council of the University of Tartu on 19 June 1992.

    10 FROM NATIONAL TERRITORIAL AUTONOMY TO INDEPENDENCE OF ESTONIA: THE WAR AND REVOLUTION 1 IN THE BALTIC REGION, 1914-1917 TIIT ROSENBERG INTRODUCTION Although the interactions between imperial management and nation-building, on which this part of the collection focuses, can be un- derstood from century-long perspectives, one should not ignore the fact that the Russian Empire fell apart not as a consequence of chronological contradictions between imperial and national principles, but rather in a peculiar conjuncture of events caused by World War I and the subse- quent revolutions.2 How were these long-term and conjuncture factors combined to affect Estonians’ quest for autonomy and independence? This chapter is devoted to this very question. From the beginning of the twentieth century, the three major politi- cal actors in the Baltic region, that is, the Baltic German elite, Estonian and Latvian nationals, and the Russian imperial authorities were involved in two serious problems of the region—the agrarian issue and regional self-government. In comparison with the agrarian question, to which policy-makers and intellectuals both in the imperial metropolis and the Baltic region began to pay attention as early as the 1840s, the question of regional self-government was relatively new for contemporaries, and 1 This article has been supported by the Estonian Science Foundation grant No 5710. 2 This point has been stressed by Andreas Kappeler, Russland als Vielvölkerreich: Entstehung, Geschichte, Zerfall (München, 1992), pp. 267-299; Ronald Grigor Suny, The Revenge of the Past. Nationalism, Revolution, and the Collapse of the Soviet Union, (Stanford, 1993), pp.

    Vera Poska-Grünthali akadeemiline karjäär Tartu Ülikooli õigusteaduskonnas MERIKE RISTIKIVI Sissejuhatus Vera Poska-Grünthal (1898–1986) on jätnud jälje Eesti ajalukku õige mitmel viisil: teda tuntakse eelkõige innuka naisliikumise aktivisti ning naiste ja laste õigustega tegelevate organisatsioonide asutaja- na. Samuti on tal silmapaistev panus Eesti õigusajaloos advokaa- dina esimese iseseisvusaja tsiviilseadustiku eelnõu perekonnaõigust käsitleva osa ettevalmistamisel. Käesolev artikkel peatub Vera Pos- ka-Grünthali teadustegevusel ja tööl esimese naislektorina Tartu Ülikooli õigusteaduskonnas. Vera Poska-Grünthali juuraõpingute aeg peegeldab hästi 20. sa- jandi alguses aset leidnud muudatusi: tsaariajal gümnaasiumi lõpe- tanuna suundus ta esmalt õppima Peterburisse, sest toonases Tartu ülikoolis said naised õppida ainult vabakuulajatena.1 Kui iseseisvu- nud Eestis alustas 1920. aastal tööd õigusteaduskond, astus Vera 1 Naiste ülikoolis õppimise ja haridusvõimaluste kohta enne 1918 lähemalt vt: Lea Leppik, „Naiste haridusvõimalustest Vene impeeriumis enne 1905. aastat“, Tartu Ülikooli ajaloo küsimusi, XXXV (Tartu: Tartu Ülikooli Kirjastus, 2006), 34–52; Sirje Tamul, koost, Vita academica, vita feminea.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1This study uses ‘Estonian Veterans’ League’ as the most practical translation of the Eesti Vabadussõjalaste Liit (‘Veterans’ League of the Estonian War of Independence’). The popular term for a Veterans’ League member was vaps (plural: vapsid), or vabs, derived from vabadussõjalane (‘War of Independence veteran’). This often appears mistakenly capitalized as VAPS. A term for the Veterans frequently found in historical literature is ‘Freedom Fighters’, the direct translation of the German Freiheitskämpfer. Another unsatisfactory translation which appears in older literature is ‘Liberators’. It should be noted that until 11 August 1933 the organization was formally called Eesti Vabadussõjalaste Keskliit (‘The Estonian War of Independence Veterans’ Central League’). 2 Ernst Nolte, The Three Faces of Fascism (London, 1965), p. 12. 3 Eduard Laaman, Vabadussõjalased diktatuuri teel (Tallinn, 1933); Erakonnad Eestis (Tartu, 1934), pp. 54–62; ‘Põhiseaduse kriisi arenemine 1928–1933’, in Põhiseadus ja Rahvuskogu (Tallinn, 1937), pp. 29–45; Konstantin Päts.
