The author deals with different applications of personal cultural autonomy. Taking Estonia as a main model application, the autor compares inter-war conditions with the situation after restauration of the independence in 1991. He analyses conditions for realisation of territorial and personal autonomy. The principle of the personal cultural autonomy can be used in the case of small dispersed national minorities but cannot satisfy nations or big national minorities living on a compact area. The conception of austromarxists O. Bauer and K. Renner inspired Estonian progressive solution of the minority question in 1925. The law on personal cultural autonomy was renewed in 1993 but, on contrary to the interwar situation, it did not satisfy and stabilize minority question because of the opposition of Russian minority, which rejected to accept it because of changed situation as the question of citizenship became a main problem for ethnic stability.
