Popular Front of Estonia
The Popular Front of Estonia was a mass political movement founded in 1988 to support Mikhail Gorbachev's reforms and win greater self-government for Estonia within the Soviet Union, later moving towards full independence. It joined in organising the Baltic Way human chain of August 1989, and its leader Edgar Savisaar became prime minister in 1990. Estonia restored its independence in August 1991.
