Uus Eesti was a newspaper published in Estonia from 1935 until Soviet occupation of Estonia in 1940. It served as the voice of the Estonian government and the Isamaatliit Party.[2]
History
The paper was established in 1935, as the successor to the paper Kaja.[1]
In 1937, the National Archives of Estonia made an agreement with Uus Eesti photographer A. Kalm to share one photograph of each major public event in Estonia, as part of a larger project to preserve photographs from national newspapers.[3]
The Soviets shutdown the paper on 21 June, 1940. The socialist paper Rahva Haal was printed in its place.[4]
