Russian Theatre, Tallinn

The Russian Theatre (Russian: Русский театр Эстонии, Estonian: Vene Teater) is a Russian-language theatre in Tallinn, Estonia.

It is housed in a building that was originally built as a cinema in 1926 and is in Art Deco style.

A permanent Russian-language theatre was not set up in the city until 1948, however.

Since Estonia re-gained its independence, the theatre has focused more on a local audience.

From 1930, until its closure in 2005, a restaurant and casino named the Astoria (originally the "Dancing-Palace Gloria") existed in the building's basement.
