Hetk Ajaloos

The anniversary series shows, to the day, what preceded the establishment of the Republic of Estonia and the obstacles that prevented it. We see how the Estonian Salvation Committee was born, the events that led to the manifesto for independence, why the first three attempts to declare a republic failed, and how turbulent times threatened to thwart the birth of the republic. These are seven episodes from the seven days when Jüri Vilms, Konstantin Päts and Konstantin Konik created the Republic of Estonia.
