Commune of the Working People of Estonia (Template:Lang-et, earlier Eesti Töörahva Kommuuna, Template:Lang-ru) was a short-lived puppet government in Russian-occupied parts of Estonia during the Estonian Liberation War. It was established on November 29, 1918 in Narva, a day after conquest of this town by Red Army. The Commune was chaired by Jaan Anvelt for the duration of its existence. In the beginning of its short existence this regime outlawed all people, loyal to legitimate government of Estonia, and made itself notorious committing massacres in Rakvere and Tartu, among most known victims of these actions were bishop Platon and pastor Traugott Hahn. In order to justify its aggression, Russian Soviet government on December 7, 1918 formally "recognized" this regime. Initially successful Russian offensive reached vicinity of 34 kilometres from Tallinn, before beginning of Estonian army's counteroffensive under Commander-in-Chief Johan Laidoner on 7 January 1919 and succeedingly driven out from Estonia. In this the Estonian Army was supported by the British Royal Navy, Baltic Regiment as well as Finnish, Swedish and Danish volunteer units. After expulsion from Estonia until its end commune practiced in Pskov, then in Luga and from 17 May 1919 in Staraya Russa.
