Uus Eesti (New Estonia) was a daily newspaper published in Estonia from September 1935 until the Soviet occupation of Estonia in June 1940. The newspaper was politically aligned with the Estonian government.[2]

History

The paper was established in September 1935 as the successor to the paper Kaja.[1]

Columnists and regular contributors of Uus Eesti included Johannes Aavik, Paul Öpik, Friedebert Tuglas, Aleksander Tõnisson, Marie Under, August Gailit, Paul Kogerman, Mait Metsanurk, Henrik Visnapuu, and others.[3]

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.[4]

The Soviets shut the paper down on 21 June 1940. The pro-Soviet, communist newspaper Rahva Hääl was printed in its place.[5]
