History
The party was a front for the Communist Party,[1] which had used umbrella organisations to participate in politics since being banned in 1918.[2] In the 1932 elections it won five seats,[3] a decrease on the six seats the Communists had won in the 1929 elections running under the guise of the Estonian Workers' Party.[1]
Along with all others, the party was banned in 1935 following Konstantin Päts's self-coup.[4]
