Young Communist League of Estonia ( Estonian: Eestimaa Kommunistlik Noorsooühing, EKNÜ) was the youth wing of the Communist Party of Estonia during the interbellum period. [1]
EKNÜ was working in a clandestine manner. It published Noor Proletaarlane (1921) and Noor Tööline (1922–1923). [2] There are other publications from the EKNÜ that were written by Kalju Tiro.
