Estonia and the Second World 75 YEARS SINCE THE END Estonia Today - 2020 OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR 1. 75 YEARS SINCE THE END OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR HOW THE FOREIGN MINISTRY AND EMBASSIES WERE ELIMINATED BUT DIPLOMATS IN THE FREE WORLD PRESERVED THE CONTINUITY OF THE ESTONIAN STATE BETWEEN 1940 AND 1991 After the outbreak of the Second World War and the Soviet occupation of 1940, many Estonian diplomats working in embas- sies remained abroad, and several of the sta of the ministry headquarters managed to ee Estonia during the Second World War. Fifty-six of the diplomats working at the Ministry of Foreign Aairs between 1918 and 1940 chose a new homeland. Among those who were working for the Foreign Ministry or who returned to Estonia after the elimination of the embassies in 1940, 21 were subject to repressions from the Soviet occupying power. A total of 52 diplomats who had worked at the Foreign Ministry over two decades were arrested; 12 of them were executed and 31 died in prison camps or in exile. Most of the arrests were made in 1940 and 1941, and four after the war. Only six diplomats who were in Estonia escaped repressions. THE ELIMINATION OF THE FOREIGN MINISTRY AND EMBASSIES IN 1940 At the beginning of the Second World War, following the June coup of 1940, Estonia’s merging with and incorporation into the Soviet Union began. Nigol Andresen became the Foreign Minister of the new puppet government. On 30 June, the Foreign Ministry recalled all Estonian diplomats. Most of them refused to comply and instead protested the occupation and annexation of Estonia by the Soviet Union. The 23 July 1940 statement by the United Embassy building in London at Queen’s States government refused to recognise the annexation of the Baltic States, and the Gate 167, which housed the Estonian representations of these countries were allowed to continue operating. Several other states also Embassy between 1920 and 1989, and which is currently home to the Embassy continued to recognise Estonian diplomats as representatives of the Republic of Estonia. of the Sultanate of Oman On 5 August 1940, a law on punishing the traitors and their family members living abroad was published in the oicial journal of Estonia, Riigi Teataja, classifying all people refusing to return home as traitors, ordering their property to be conscated and condemning them to be shot within 24 hours of identication. A prison sentence of up to 10 years and conscation of property also awaited the family members of those refusing to return home. On 6 August 1940, the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic By 25 August 1940, all foreign ambassadors posted to 'was admitted' to the Soviet Union. As early as 8 August, Estonia were ordered to leave. By the decision of the Council the government of the Estonian SSR decided to of People’s Commissars of the Estonian SSR on 11 eliminate all Estonian embassies, consulates and September 1940, the Ministry of Foreign Aairs was honorary consulates, and hand over their assets to local abolished. The Estonian SSR’s People’s Commissariat for representations of the Soviet Union. This was duly carried Foreign Aairs, essentially a front institution, began out in several countries. operating, lacking any right to conduct foreign policy and only carrying out orders from Moscow. 75 YEARS SINCE THE END Estonia Today - 2020 OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR 2. THE ESTONIAN EMBASSY IN LONDON AND CONSULATE GENERAL IN NEW YORK AS THE CARRIERS OF THE LEGAL CONTINUITY OF THE REPUBLIC OF ESTONIA BETWEEN 1940 AND 1991 Following the outbreak of the Second World War and the June coup in Estonia, the diplomatic representations of the Republic of Estonia continued to operate in the United States and the United Kingdom. Thanks to the activities of these foreign missions, the Foreign Ministry was the only public institution that continued to exist between 1940 and 1991, therefore preserving the continuity of Estonian statehood. The policy of non-recognition of the occupation and annexation of Estonia was practised most consistently by the United States. In 1940, the Foreign Ministry planned to reopen its embassy in Washington but Estonia was occupied again. The consulate general in New York, on the other hand, continued to work until the restoration of Estonia’s independence in 1991. It was home to Johannes Kaiv (1897-1965), the consul general carrying out the duties of an ambassador until 1965. Ernst Jaakson (1905-1998) continued his work. In 1991, Jaakson was named ambassador of the restored Republic of Estonia to the United States and permanent representative to the UN, and he was in the Estonian diplomatic service for a total of 79 years. Johannes Kaiv worked as consul general in the consulate general Ernst Jaakson as a representative of the Republic of in New York until 1965 Estonia meeting President Ronald Reagan in 1982 Ambassador August Torma with his wife Alice at the embassy in London, at Queens Gate 167. The photograph was taken in the 1960s. The British government did not recognise Estonia’s inclusion in the Soviet Union de jure and in 1940, August Torma (1895-1971) continued to work as an ambassador in London until his death in 1971. Subsequently, the British Foreign Oice accepted Ernst Sarepera, an embassy counsellor, as a chargé d'aaires, however, he died only a few months after Torma. After his death, the baton was passed on to an oicial named August Bergman, who had worked at the embassy since 1923. As it was not permitted to appoint new diplomats, the embassy was moved under the management of Ernst Jaakson at the consulate general in New York, and only the embassy secretary Anna Taru continued to work in London until 1989. 75 YEARS SINCE THE END Estonia Today - 2020 OF THE SECOND WORLD WAR 3. DIPLOMATS WHO REMAINED IN THE FREE WORLD PROTECTED ESTONIA’S INTERESTS IN OTHER COUNTRIES The diplomats who had remained in the West protected Estonia’s interests in other countries; however, their status was usually semi-oicial and more uncertain than that of their colleagues in London and New York. Here are but a few of them: In 1940, August Koern worked as a Aleksander Warma continued to In 1940, Karl Robert Pusta was a counsellor at the Estonian Embassy in carry out his duties as an ambassador special counsellor at the Estonian Copenhagen, and after the June in Helsinki until September 1944, Embassy in Paris.

Despite their dierences, both the diplomatic representatives as well as the government in exile played an important role in preserving the continuity of Estonian statehood and organising the life of Estonians living in exile. The government in exile was never oicially recognised by any government, which is why Estonia’s diplomatic representatives kept a certain distance, and at times, relations became tense. 24.08.1991.

Photo: Peeter Langovits In the Second World War, Estonia lost its independence, and the Foreign Ministry and embassies were eliminated. The Soviet occupation lasted for half a century, until Lennart Meri became the foreign minister in Edgar Savisaar’s government at the peak of the perestroika and the Singing Revolution in 1990. It is to him the Estonian foreign service dates the 'second coming' that led to the restoration of the Republic of Estonia and the subsequent re-establishment of the Foreign Ministry and embassies. Thanks to the work of Estonian diplomats who remained in the free world, the Foreign Ministry is the only Estonian institution that has continuously worked for 100 years and has therefore carried the continuity and spirit of the Republic of Estonia. .

    Ajalooline Ajakiri, 2016, 3/4 (157/158), 477–511 Historical consciousness, personal life experiences and the orientation of Estonian foreign policy toward the West, 1988–1991 Kaarel Piirimäe and Pertti Grönholm ABSTRACT The years 1988 to 1991 were a critical juncture in the history of Estonia. Crucial steps were taken during this time to assure that Estonian foreign policy would not be directed toward the East but primarily toward the integration with the West. In times of uncertainty and institutional flux, strong individuals with ideational power matter the most. This article examines the influence of For- eign Minister Lennart Meri’s and Prime Minister Edgar Savisaar’s experienc- es and historical consciousness on their visions of Estonia’s future position in international affairs. Life stories help understand differences in their horizons of expectation, and their choices in conducting Estonian diplomacy. Keywords: historical imagination, critical junctures, foreign policy analysis, So- viet Union, Baltic states, Lennart Meri Much has been written about the Baltic states’ success in breaking away from Eastern Europe after the collapse of the Soviet Union in 1991, and their decisive “return to the West”1 via radical economic, social and politi- Research for this article was supported by the “Reimagining Futures in the European North at the End of the Cold War” project which was financed by the Academy of Finland.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by East Turkistan Government in Exile (XIN0078)
    Written evidence submitted by East Turkistan Government in Exile (XIN0078) The East Turkistan Problem and How the UK Should Address it East Turkistan Government in Exile The East Turkistan Government in Exile (ETGE) is the democratically elected official body representing East Turkistan and its people. On September 14, 2004, the government in exile was established in Washington, DC by a coalition of Uyghur and other East Turkistani organizations. The East Turkistan Government in Exile is a democratic body with a representative Parliament. The primary leaders — President, Vice President, Prime Minister, Speaker (Chair) of Parliament, and Deputy Speaker (Chair) of Parliament — are democratically elected by the Parliament members from all over the East Turkistani diaspora in the General Assembly which takes place every four years. The East Turkistan Government in Exile is submitting this evidence and recommendation to the UK Parliament and the UK Government as it is the leading body representing the interests of not only Uyghurs but all peoples of East Turkistan including Kazakhs, Kyrgyz, Uzbeks, and Tatars. More importantly, the ETGE has submitted the first ever legal complaint to the International Criminal Court against China and its officials for genocide and other crimes against humanity. We would like the UK Government to assist our community using all available means to seek justice and end to decades of prolonged colonization, genocide, and occupation in East Turkistan. Brief History of East Turkistan and the Uyghurs With a history of over 6000 years, according to Uyghur historians like Turghun Almas, the Uyghurs are the natives of East Turkistan. Throughout the millennia, the Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples have established and maintained numerous independent kingdoms, states, and even empires.

  • Corruption in Autocracies∗
    Corruption in Autocracies∗ James R. Hollyery Yale University Leonard Wantchekon Princeton University September 2011 Abstract Corruption is typically depicted as a result of one of two factors: a lack of polit- ical accountability or insufficient state capacity. Nonetheless, substantial variation in corruption levels exists even within the set of politically unaccountable high-capacity regimes. In this paper, we examine a third determinant of corruption – the ideological appeal of the government – and demonstrate that this variable can explain variation in the types and levels of corruption experienced in politically unaccountable regimes. Using a model of both moral hazard and adverse selection, we predict that (1) regimes that inspire the intense ideological loyalty of the populace are likely to enjoy low lev- els of petty corruption and that (2) autocratic regimes that enjoy such intense support from only a narrow segment of the populace will erect credible anti-corruption insti- tutions. Political corruption, by contrast, need not covary with levels of ideological support. We illustrate the mechanisms of our model through a series of case studies that demonstrate the importance of ideology in driving levels of corruption – with a particular focus on low levels of corruption in ‘developmentalist’ regimes. Finally, we discuss the relevance of our findings to other – democratic – political settings. ∗We would like to thank José Antonio Cheibub, Sunkyoung Park, Peter Rosendorff, Kongjoo Shin, Alberto Simpser and participants in the 2011 APSA Panel on Audits and Government Accountability in the Devel- oping World and participants in the 2011 EPSA Conference Panel on the Political Economy of Authoritarian Regimes for comments and suggestions.

  • Human Rights and Tibet: Leading a Government-In- Exile
    Human Rights and Tibet: Leading a Government-in- Exile CAMILO SANCHEZ: Good morning. Thank you all for being here. And welcome to a new year of human rights programming at UVA. And now, I know what you're thinking. February is almost over. Spring break is around the corner. And there is this guy still throwing out Happy New Year's wishes. Fair point, but you might not know that this weekend, this very weekend, the Tibetan community is celebrating Losar, a festival that marks the first day of the lunisolar Tibetan calendar. So in spirit of embracing multiculturalism, the UVA human rights program is kicking off its year ignoring the Gregorian calendar and partially the academic calendar. So Dr. Sangay, I apologize for the last minute request, but you will have to tell us more about the Losar celebrations. Our human rights program at the University of Virginia School of Law is proud of its mission to intentionally bridge the worlds of research, policy, and human rights practice, while maintaining a focus on rigorous and scholarly inquiry. At the top of our interests is to increase our knowledge on how scholars, activists, governments, movements, and other actors understand, conceptualize, advocate for, critique, or even reject or ignore human rights. We want to expose our community to the tensions, contradictions, contingencies, roads not taken, and dilemmas that lie at the heart of the human rights enterprise. That's why we seek to bring to campus people that from different perspectives and backgrounds reflect not only on philosophical questions, such as what are human rights? What should they be? But also on other questions shaped by human rights practice, such as what do human rights do? Why do people use human rights? Why do communities use them instead of using other political or moral frameworks? And what are the effects, implications, and drawbacks of relying on human rights in political struggles? And we couldn't think of a better person to speak to these questions than our distinguished keynote speaker, Dr.

  • Written Evidence Submitted by the East Turkistan Government in Exile and East Turkistan National Awakening Movement (XIN0081)
    Written evidence submitted by the East Turkistan Government in Exile and East Turkistan National Awakening Movement (XIN0081) Who we are and our aims 1. We are the legal team acting on behalf of the East Turkistan Government in Exile (ETGE) and the East Turkistan National Awakening Movement (ETNAM). Our clients represent millions of Uyghur and other Turkic victims of the international crimes committed by Chinese state officials in East Turkistan and abroad. East Turkistan is the territory referred to as Xinjiang that is widely considered to be a colony or occupied territory. 2. Within this submission, we refer to ‘East Turkistan’ instead of ‘Xinjiang’. Using this terminology helps counter the oppression of Uyghurs and other Turkic peoples, who refer to their homeland as East Turkistan. ‘Xinjiang’ is a Chinese term meaning ‘the New Territory’. The FCDO and the UK Government are encouraged to consider using the same terminology. 3. The ETGE is the official body, registered in Washington DC, which represents East Turkistan and its people worldwide. The ETNAM is a non-profit political rights organisation whose goal is to end China’s oppressive activity within East Turkistan. 4. On 6 July 2020 the legal team acting on behalf of the ETGE and ETNAM submitted a Complaint to the Chief Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC) urging her to open an investigation for the crimes that come within the ICC’s jurisdiction. The Complaint provides detailed and extensive evidence that high ranking officials of the Chinese government are committing genocide and other crimes against humanity. 5. Both our aim as the lawyers and our clients’ aim in bringing the Complaint is to give a voice to the millions of victims of Chinese state oppression.

  • Speech by President Lennart Meri
    Freedom Through Democracy, Security, and Unity in Diversity Memorable Words of Lennart Meri, President of the Republic of Estonia, From His Speeches 1992–2001 Lennart Meri Compiled and edited by M. Merrick Yamamoto Visual Tutor Company, 2016 From the President’s New Year’s Eve Message, December 31, 1999 Dear fellow countrymen! Today, we are all one big family. Today, in my mind, I shake hands with all of you, look everybody in the eye, and ask: how are you? Today’s New Year is so different from all that have been and all those still to come. It is mysterious, at least in our imagination. Round numbers have a powerful influence on our mind and on our behaviour, especially when the New Year is also connected to the beginning of a new century, a new millennium. A friend of mine even asked me for an interview concerning the third millennium. I asked him: What could a tiller or a fisherman from Rävala or Saaremaa have said about the second millennium in the year 999? On the New Year, there will be no change in the constellation of stars, in the movement of the Sun or the Earth. For an ancient Estonian, the flow of time was constant and indivisible, like the peaceful flow of a river. We toast the new millennium, fill the sky with fireworks and celebrate today, because we are part of the Christian culture. The year 2000 is a year of advent, the year of transition, taking us to the third millennium after the birth of Christ.

  • How America Can Help Baltic Independence
    762 March 29,1990 HOW AMERICA CAN HELP BALTIC INDEPENDENCE The Baltic peoples’ struggle for independence is entering its decisive ~ phase. For now, the spotlight is on Lithuania, where Mikhail Gorbachev’s 1 show of force is an attempt to frighten into submission that country’s democratically elected government. In the wings, ready to move to stage cen- ter, are the independence movements of Estonia and Latvia. The crisis in Lithuania is forcing Washington to make some hard decisions about the Baltic states. For a half-century, of course, the United States has supported the restoration of their independence.This support was largely rhetorical and cost little; it had virtually no effect. Now, the U.S. can make good on its decades of promises and declarations.This the U.S. must do - in a firm and direct, but measured way. At this critical moment in the history of the Baltic republics, George Bush should extend official recognition to the new democratic government in Lithuania and tell Gorbachev that Moscow will pay a heavy price if it uses force against Lithuania and the other two Baltic states. Illegally Annexed. The case for America supporting Baltic independence is overwhelming: America never has accepted Moscow’s rule over the Baltic states. Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania were independent and sovereign states after their independence was recognized by the Soviet Union in 1920 and by the international community. But as the result of a secret treaty between Adolf Hitler and Joseph Stalin in August 1939 -the infamous “Hitler-Stalin Pact” - the Baltic states were occupied and annexed by Moscow in 1940.This.
