Editorial summary

Editorial reviewA useful synthesis for locating the documentary relationships between formal authority, participants and affected communities. The current lead gives the account dated anchors—1991, 1998, 1996, 1997—that can be checked directly. The linked authority record independently contributes the date 1991. Its value is orientation rather than verdict, with Tallinna, Sadam and Estonian providing the first useful test.
