Abstract

AbstractThe idea of making a distinction between token and generic restorations was suggested by a reading of the excellent PhD dissertation (defended at the University of Columbia) by the Estonian political scientist Vello Pettai ‘Framing the Past as Future: The Power of Legal Restorationism in Estonia’, who process-traced the struggle between the two wings of the Estonian independence movement in 1988–1991 (Pettai 2004, 2007). One wing was represented by the Estonian Popular Front, led by the most distinguished Estonian scholars, artists and other public figures, who were part of the establishment of late Soviet Estonia, many of them belonging to the Communist Party. They advocated the restoration of independence using the framework of Soviet institutions.
