Soviet–Estonian Non-Aggression Pact
The Soviet–Estonian Non-Aggression Pact was a non-aggression pact, signed between the Soviet Union and Estonia on May 4, 1932.[1] It was ratified by Estonia on 29 July 1932 and the Soviet Union 5 August 1932, and entered into force on 18 August 1932 for the period of 3 years.[2] The pact provided the opportunity to be renounced 6 months before expiration or by either Estonia or USSR at any time without notice in the event of an act of aggression by the other party against any third state.[2] If not renounced the pact was to be prolonged each two years for indetermined period.[2] The pact was prolonged until 31 December 1945 on 4 April 1934 and was again reaffirmed on 28 September 1939.[2] However on 14th June 1940 the USSR blockaded Estonia by sea and air and occupied it on 16th.
