Uus Eesti was a newspaper published in Estonia from 1935 until Soviet occupation of Estonia in 1940. It served as the voice of the Estonian government and the Isamaatliit Party.
History
The paper was established in 1935, as the successor to the paper Kaja.
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.
The Soviets shut the paper down on 21 June 1940. The socialist paper Rahva Hääl was printed in its place.
