After Estonia became independent in 1991 the socio-political status of the Russianspeaking population (about 400 000 people or approximately one third of the population) changed completely - from the leading nation of the Soviet Union to a minority. The national policy of the independent Republic of Estonia is aimed at integration of the society by fostering knowledge of the Estonian language, but at the same time recognising the cultural rights of ethnic minorities, securing the cultural diversity. The bookshops in Estonia carry a relatively diverse choice of books in the Russian language, which are imported from Russia, but the Russian-speaking community also requires publications, which are published locally and are in accordance with their specific information needs. The paper studies the trends in the Russian-language book publishing (the statistics of title production, the structure of the production, the types of publishers active in the field etc.) and examines the demographic, political, cultural and economic factors, influencing the process and shaping its future development. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: Copyright of International Journal of the Book is the property of Common Ground Research Networks and its content may not be copied or emailed to multiple sites without the copyright holder's express written permission.
