² Issued by of the Russian Provisional Government

Commune of the Working People of Estonia (Estonian: Eesti Töörahva Kommuun or ETK, Russian: Эстляндская Трудовая Коммуна or ЭТК) was a short-lived soviet republic in Estonia. It was established on November 29, 1918 in Narva. The appointed Regency Council of The United Baltic Duchy consisting of four Baltic Germans, three Estonians and three Latvians functioned until November 28, 1918, without any international recognition, except from German Empire. The Commune was chaired by Jaan Anvelt for the duration of its existence. It was the third attempt to form such a government in the country. The regime was recognized by the Russian Soviet government on December 7, 1918, but was effectively driven out of power by Estonian defence forces under Commander-in-Chief Johan Laidoner in February 1919. In this the Estonian Army was supported by the British Royal Navy as well as some Finnish, Swedish and Danish volunteers. The Soviet Republic of Naissaar was declared November 1917 by some of the remnants of the Commune, but this experiment was ended in February 26, 1918.
