Estoniia Digital Archive

Founded in 1991, Estoniia (Эстония, Estonia) was a popular Russian-language broadsheet newspaper published in Tallinn. Established on the basis and the support of the editorial team of the defunct newspaper Sovetskaia Estonia soon after the Estonian declaration of independence, Estoniia was one of the earliest privately owned newspapers in the country. Modeled after popular Western newspapers, it was dedicated to covering domestic and foreign politics, the economy, culture, the arts, and literature.

After experiencing steady growth and the financial backing of the controversial businessman Vitaly Khaitov, the newspaper increased its profile and publishing portfolio, changing its name to Vesti dnia in 2004. Due to financial difficulties and increased competition the newspaper ceased publication in 2009.

The Estoniia Digital Archive is an Open Access collection, presented as part of the Global Press Archive Area Studies Initiative 2024 Offer.
