Uno Laht (born 1924) was the first Estonian writer who dared to point out Soviet pathologies in poetry. Laht was an ex- KGB man who had taken part in arrests and deportations. His sharp, humorous satires were popular from the start especially the collections Piimahambad, Milk Teeth’ (1954) and it’s second version Piimahambad (plombeeritud) ‘The Milk Teeth, Filled’ (1956). The subject matter includes ‘shock troops’ (work battalions sent to pioneer new agricultural and industrial collective projects), cultural restriction, time wasting bureaucracy and other phenomena of Soviet life . Laht was awarded the Tuglas Prize in 1975 for his short story ‘We Good Fellows All over the Earth’. His political views changed at the restoration of the Estonian independence. He abandoned the Union of Writers and rejected the lucrative status of Soviet War Veteran.
