The Intermovement ''(International Movement of Workers in the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic)'' ((エストニア語:Interliikumine), (ロシア語:''Интердвижение''), translit. Interdvizhenie) was a political movement and organisation in the Estonian SSR. It was founded on 19 July 1988〔(An Annotated Survey of Independent Movements in Eastern Europe ), 13 June 1989〕 and claimed by different sources 16,000 - 100,000 members.〔〔(Soviet Union Look Who's Feeling Picked On ) - ''Time'' magazine - September 25, 1989〕 The original name of the movement was Interfront (International Front of Workers in the Estonian Soviet Socialist Republic), which was changed to Intermovement in autumn 1988. The movement was aligned with the conservative (that is, pro-Soviet) wing of Estonian Communist Party, and opposed the Estonian independence movement led by the nationalistic Popular Front of Estonia and the liberal wing of the CPE.〔(Employee Ownership and the Political Debate in Estonia 1987-1994. )〕〔(THE ANATOMY OF INDEPENDENCE ), Kripta, Tartu, Sankt Petersburg 2004, ISBN 5-98451-007-3〕〔(here )〕 The Intermovement was not perceived as an organisation built on nationalist principles, and gained some support of ethnic Estonians. It also included many supporters from ethnic non-Estonians. The main leader of the movement was Jevgeni Kogan ((ロシア語:Евгений Коган), sometimes transliterated as Evgeny Kogan).〔(Suri endine Interrinde liider Jevgeni Kogan ), Postimees 29 March 2007〕 Kogan was also one of the leaders of the hardline Soyuz faction in the USSR legislature. Other leaders of the Intermovement included Vladimir Jarovoi ((ロシア語:Владимир Яровой), also transliterated as Vladimir Yarovoi), Arnold Sai,〔 Vladimir Lebedev ((ロシア語:Владимир Лебедев)) and economist Konstantin Kiknadze〔(Estonia ) - ''Time'' magazine - November 28, 1988〕 The Intermovement functioned at factories, mainly, at military plants and those factories that had an all-union importance. A large part of Estonian heavy industry was part of the integrated production chain providing their production to the industries in other Soviet regions. These included e.g. the engine factory ''Dvigatel'', Kalinin's and Pöögelmann's electrotechnical plant ''Tondi Elektroonika'', and the (especially but not only phosphorite) mining industry in Northern Estonia. It was feared that Estonian independence would lead to the loss of jobs. In fact, after independence the industries were forced to restructure their production and re-orient to new markets, which in most of cases drastically reduced production and forced lay off many people, a large number of whom were Soviet-era immigrants. According to critics, the movement's aim was to protect the conservative Soviet values and make everything possible to block the actions of the Popular Front. According to the former KGB general Oleg Kalugin ((ロシア語:Олег Калугин)) it was established in Estonia as also in other parts of the USSR on the initiative of the KGB, as a counterbalance to the Popular Fronts, perceived as nationalist organizations.〔〔 Despite the stereotyping of the Russophones as a force opposing an Estonian independence movement, the Interfront organizations were never mass movements and their membership was largely confined to members of the Party apparat and plant managers.〔(Estonia: Nation Building And Integration. Political And Legal Aspects ) - ((Google cache )); originally Smith, Graham 1996. ‘The Ethnic Democracy Thesis and the Citizenship Question in Estonia and Latvia’. Nationalities Papers, 24, 2, pp. 199-216.〕 One of initiators of foundation of the Popular Front R. Grigorjan afterwards gave the following evaluation: 〔(Iseseisvuse anatoomia. Анатомия независимости. The anatomy of independence ), Kripta, Tartu, Sankt Petersburg 2004, ISBN 5-98451-007-3. p. 173〕 In elections for the Congress of People's Deputies of the Soviet Union in 1989 pro-Intermovement candidates won 6 seats out of Estonia's 36, against 27 won by the Popular Front.〔(ELECTIONS AND REFERENDUMS IN ESTONIA 1989-1999 - Elections to the Congress of the USSR People's Deputies 26.03.1989 )〕 From 29 August 1990 to 21 August 1991 the Intermovement ran the radio station Nadezhda ((ロシア語:Надежда), meaning 'Hope'), which contrary to the ordinary procedure got its license from the central authorities of the Soviet Union without informing local authorities in Estonia. Following an order by the Soviet Defense Minister Dmitry Yazov, the radio station was installed at the territory of the Soviet military base in Keila, near Tallinn.〔Eesti Ekspress August 15, 2006: (Raadiohääl Keila tankipolgust ) 〕 In 1993 Estonian state adopted a law on citizenship and residency, based on ''Jus sanguinis''. Under the new law, former Soviet citizens who had neither held Estonian citizenship nor were descended from citizens (including approximately 500,000 ethnic Russians) were to be regarded foreigners.〔()〕 Some raised concerns that the new foreigners would face possible expulsion from Estonian territory; however, these concerns were not based in fact and in general, Soviet-era non-citizen immigrants were furnished with long-term residence permits. Ostensibly in response to the government's actions, Juri Mišin 〔(ロシア語:Юрий Мишин), also transliterated as Yury Mishin)〕 and a few other former activists of the Intermovement made demands of regional autonomy for Estonia's Russian minority, seeking autonomy of the ethnic Russian dominated areas in North-East Estonia.〔(Aliens in a Land They Call Home ) - ''Time'' magazine - July 19, 1993〕 Activists held an unconstitutional plebiscite on this matter in the Narva region.〔Kansalaisuuskiistojen ei uskota vievän sijoittajia Virosta - ''Kauppalehti'' July 9, 1993 〕 Some raised concerns that the central government might use force to prevent the plebiscite, but these concerns were not based in fact, and it tookplace on July 16–July 17, 1993. According to the activist commissions in Narva and Sillamäe, 53.2% percent of voters participated and 98% in total (97.2% in Narva). However, the central government determined the majority of the population did not participate, and demanded the Narva city council, which had provided material support to separatists, to disband.〔()〕〔()〕 The Intermovement was not built on ethnic principles and had some ethnic Estonian supporters. However, of the 742 delegates attending the first congress on March 5, 1989, only 11 were ethnic Estonian.〔Toivo Miljan, ''Historical Dictionary of Estonia'', Scarecrow Press, 2004, ISBN 0-8108-4904-6〕 It was supported by Gustav Naan and Vladimir Hütt; Intermovements ranks also included Arnold Sai, Lembit Annus and Valter Toots.〔(The Anatomy of Independence )〕 Similar organisations existed in Latvia, Lithuania (called 'Yedinstvo' - 'Unity') and Moldavia. They shared orthodox communist views and struggled for preserving the Soviet Union. Being committed to the USSR's territorial integrity, they forged alliances with Russian nationalist organizations.〔http://books.google.com/books?id=a-dbI7B6Vs0C&pg=PA224&dq=intermovement+estonia〕 Pyotr Rozhok, a participant of the Intermovement, became a LDPRF politician in 1990s 〔http://rusdrev.narod.ru/R/rojkov.htm〕〔http://www.igpi.ru/monitoring/1047645476/jan1994/Estoniya0194.htm〕 before running as Stalinist Bloc candidate in Russian legislative election, 1999.〔http://www.moles.ee/99/Sep/07/2-3.html〕〔http://www.panorama.ru/works/vybory/party/stalin2.html〕 ==See also== *International Front of the Working People of Latvia *Yedinstvo (Lithuanian counterpart) *Soyuz 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Intermovement」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
