Lauri Vahtre (born 22 March 1960) is a politician, historian, writer, scriptwriter and translator.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tVahtre was born in Tartu as the son of Professor of History Sulev Vahtre. He completed Tartu Secondary School No. 2 in 1978 and in 1984 graduated from Tartu State University specialising in history. From 1983\u20131985 he worked as a senior researcher at the Estonian Open Air Museum; thereafter he took up post-graduate studies and defended his Candidate\u2019s dissertation on the Estonian folk calendar in 1988. From 1988\u20131992, he was a senior researcher at the History Institute of the Estonian Academy of Sciences. From 1989\u20131992, he worked as a senior lecturer at the University of Tartu. In 1992, Vahtre was elected to the Riigikogu (the Estonian Parliament) as a representative of the Pro Patria party. He became one of the leading figures of the party and was re-elected to the Riigikogu in 1995 and 1999. From 2011, Vahtre worked as a counsellor at the public relations department of the Ministry of Defence. From 2015\u20132020, Lauri Vahtre worked at the Estonian War Museum.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLauri Vahtre has written numerous textbooks of history. A characteristic feature of Vahtre\u2019s textbooks is their fluent and engaging style. He has written historical studies, popular-scientific books on history and essays on philosophy of history.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tVahtre is the author of several books of fiction. The novel S\u00f5num<\/em> (\u2018Message\u2019) appeared in 2008 under the pen name of Peter Morgen. The novel is multi-layered. The main storylines are separated by two thousand years. The modern activity takes place in Strasbourg during a session of the European Parliamentary Assembly in the late 1990s or the first years of the 21st century. The other dimension is given to the book by the roamings of Jesus and his disciples in Palestine of the New Testament times. Torm<\/em> (\u2018Storm\u2019), published in 2010, is a thriller or warning novel. Its protagonist Adam, an Estonian, is sent to Cuba as a CIA agent to advise dissidents, survives the storm of the century and finds himself in a post-disaster dystopia.<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tLauri Vahtre has published two poetry collections: Lihtsalt \u00fcks pihlakas<\/em> (\u2018Just a Rowantree\u2019) and Ilus valge ratsu<\/em> (\u00b4Beautiful White Steed\u2019, both 2012). Vahtre\u2019s poems are generally written in prose-like emotionally charged free verse. He has written several plays \u2013 Olle Terve hansatuultes<\/em> (\u2018Olle Terve in Hanseatic Winds\u2019, staged 1996), Muna E\u00dcE<\/em> (\u2018Munam\u00e4gi Construction Team\u2019, 2007), Vihterpalu valss<\/em> (\u2018Vihterpalu Waltz\u2019, 2008), Teekond valguse riiki<\/em> (\u2018Journey into the Kingdom of Light\u2019, 2007), Varjutants<\/em> (\u2018Shadow Dance\u2019, 2010), Minust j\u00e4\u00e4vad vaid laulud<\/em> (\u2018Only My Songs Remain\u2019, in cooperation with Mart Laar, 2006), and others. He is the co-scriptwriter of the Estonian television series Tuulepealne maa<\/em> (\u2018Windswept Land\u2019, 2008) and the author of the provisional script for the film Detsembrikuumus<\/em> (\u2018December Heat\u2019, 2008) about the communist coup attempt in Estonia in 1924 (the script was later rewritten by other authors).<\/span><\/span><\/span>\n<\/p>\n

\n\tIn 1989, Vahtre received the Virumaa Literary Prize for the history book Kodu lugu<\/em> (\u2018The Story of Our Home\u2019) written in cooperation with Mart Laar and Heiki Valk.\u00a0 In 2001, he was awarded the Order of the National Coat of Arms, class III.
