Perestroika

EKP was reformed in 1990 through a split in the original EKP, as the pro-reform majority faction of EKP separated itself from the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and became the Estonian Democratic Labour Party. The minority faction of pro-Soviet hardliners hardliners called their party EKP (NLKP), or 'Communist Party of Estland (CPSU)'.

Republic of Estonia

In August 1991, after the failed August Coup, organisations which had supported the coup (incl EKP (NLKP)) were illegalised in Estonia. Reportedly, a very small group of militants carried on their cause, initially their grouping was affiliated with the Union of Communist Parties - Communist Party of the Soviet Union (SKP-KPSS), but when SKP-KPSS split in 2001 they joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union of Oleg Shenin. In 2005, the only known member of the grouping was Juri Mishin; his 'party' actually exists only in CPSU list.[citation needed]
