The use of historically accurate place names - particularly in relation to Estonia - was previously dealt with ANI. The outcome was to use historically accurate place names. When Friedrich Karm died, the country was known as Estonian SSR and was part of the Soviet Union. GiantSnowman 10:13, 29 August 2022 (UTC)Reply
Historically accurate name is Republic of Estonia. Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic was a scam government set up by the occupying Soviet Union. It was set up illegally and was not internationally recognized. It was same as Russian set ups in Ukraine Donetsk People's Republic and Luhansk People's Republic or from the same era Finnish Democratic Republic etc. While the territory of Estonia was under Soviet occupation, Estonian state still existed, it had recognized diplomatic missions in the west Baltic Legations (1940–1991) and Estonian government-in-exile.
But the important part is the widely accepted historical English name
