  • The Popular Front of Estonia - initially introduced to the public by Estonian politician Edgar Savisaar as the "Popular Front for the Support of Perestroika" - a name soon discarded - was a political organization in Estonia in late 1980s and early 1990s. It was to a substantial degree the precursor to the current Estonian Centre Party, although with a much broader base of popularity at the beginning. It was a major force in the Estonian independence movement that led to the re-establishment of the Republic of Estonia as a country independent from the Soviet Union. It was similar to the Popular Front of Latvia and the Sąjūdis movement in Lithuania and a number of Popular Fronts that were created almost simultaneously in many parts of the USSR. The Baltic States, compared to other component parts of the USSR, were in a unique category, having previously been European parliamentary democracies that were annexed by the Soviet Union in 1940. The Popular Front of Estonia was founded in 1988 by Marju Lauristin and Edgar Savisaar. Savisaar initiated the foundation in April, 1988 in a live broadcast (Mõtleme veel) on Estonian TV, advocating support of Gorbachevian perestroika. The Popular Front of Estonia together with the Popular Front of Latvia and the Sąjūdis organized the Baltic Way mass "arm-in-arm" manifestation extending through three Baltic states on August 23, 1989 that marked 50th anniversary of August 23, 1939 when the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany signed the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact, which resulted in the forcible incorporation of these three states into the Soviet Union and the loss of their independence. The front was opposed by the Intermovement that represented the pro-Soviet part of Estonia's ethnic Russian minority and other ethnic groups that had been settled in Estonia during the Soviet occupation period. The Popular Front was a supporter of perestroika, while the Intermovement was seen as opposed to Gorbachev's reforms. As time went by, an ever greater chasm developed between the initial thrust of the Popular Front, leading members of which at first advocated mere autonomy within a Soviet system that Gorbachev was trying to reform in a cautious way, and the eventual context of the Estonian Popular Front, which - although still controlled largely by Edgar Savisaar - came to stand for true independence, an idea supported by the rank and file. Consequently the Estonian Popular Front changed a great deal over time, until political parties came to replace such movements in Estonia during the early nineties. This rendered the Popular Front of Estonia an anachronism, and it eventually faded away.
  • Front Popular d'Estònia fou un moviment polític estonià actiu a finals de la dècada del 1980 i primers de 1990. Aparegué en públic el 1988 com a Front Popular de Suport a la Perestroika, de manera semblant al Front Popular de Letònia i al Sąjūdis, dirigit per Edgar Savisaar i Marju Lauristin. Fou la principal força que va dirigir el moviment per a la independència d'Estònia de la Unió Soviètica i convocà el Congrés d'Estònia de 1990.

  • Il Fronte Popolare Estone (in lingua estone Rahvarinne) era un movimento politico attivo in Estonia nei tardi anni ottanta e nei primi anni novanta. Era la maggior forza politica aderente al Movimento di indipendenza estone che guido' la proclamazione della Repubblica di Estonia come una nazione indipendente dalla Unione Sovietica. Era simile per rivendicazioni, struttura e contesto al Fronte Popolare Lettone ed al movimento Sąjūdis in Lituania. Il FPE era stato fondato nel 1988 da Marju Lauristin ed Edgar Savisaar. Savisaar annuncio' la sua fondazione nell'aprile del 1988 in una diretta televisiva (Mõtleme veel) della televisione di stato estone ETV (egli suggeri' la formazione di un Fronte popolare in supporto alla Perestroika). Il Fronte Popolare Estone insieme Fronte Polare Lettone ed al Sąjūdis organizzo' la via Baltica attraverso i paesi baltici il 23 agosto 1989 in ricordo del 50esimo anniversario del 23 agosto 1939 quando l'Unione Sovietica e la Germania nazista siglarono il Patto Molotov-Ribbentrop, il quale enunciava l'annessione delle tre nazioni baltiche nell'Unione Sovietica e la perdita della loro sovranità nazionale. Il movimento era contestato da un movimento trasversale che rappresentava la parte pro-Soviet dell'etnie estoni composta da minoranza russa ed altri gruppi di immigrati. Il Fronte Popolare era un sostenitore della perestroika, mentre il movimento trasversale pro-Soviet era visto come un oppositore alle riforme di Gorbachev's.
  • Rahvarinne (den estiske folkefronten), var en politisk organisasjon i Estland mot slutten av 1980-tallet og begynnelsen av 1990-tallet. Rahvarinne var en drivende kraft i Estlands kamp for uavhengighet fra Sovjetunionen, som førte til at Estland igjen ble et selvstendig land, etter over 40 års okkupasjon.
  • Народный фронт Эстонии (НФЭ) был политическим движением, рождённым гражданской инициативой и самым большим массовым движением Эстонии. 13 апреля 1988, в вечерней передаче Эстонского телевидения «Подумаем ещё», в ходе беседы о путях использования инициативы граждан Эдгар Сависаар озвучил мысль о создании в поддержку перестройки легальной оппозиции, демократического движения — Народного фронта. В ту же ночь была создана инициативная группа и составлена декларация Народного Фронта. 1-2 октября того же года в Таллинском городском концертном зале состоялся учредительный съезд. В октябре-ноябре НФЭ собрал более 800 000 подписей против проекта закона СССР «Об изменениях и дополнениях Конституции Союза Советских Социалистических Республик», согласно которому предполагалось ещё более ограничить права союзных республик. 23 августа 1989 года народные фронты прибалтийских республик организовали людскую цепь через все три республики, известную под названием Балтийский путь. 18 марта 1990 года состоялись выборы в Верховный Совет Эстонской ССР, на которых НФ получил 24 % голосов. Из 105 человек, проходивших кандидатами по списку НФЭ, депутатские мандаты получили 45. Сависаар сформировал правительство, состоявшее большей частью из членов Народного фронта. 12 октября 1991 года на базе НФЭ была создана Народная партия, которая стала позднее Центристской партией. Народный фронт прекратил деятельность 13 ноября 1993 года
