Since both countries used to be part of Russian Empire and Soviet Union, two nations met with each other's culture from early times. There are information from late XIX libraries of Estonia works of about works of well-known poets of Azerbaijan such as Mirza Shafi Vazeh, Molla Panah Vagif and Mirza Fatali Akhundov which was translated into German language. Translations into Estonian from German started in 1981 with Yukhan Kiyv, Gustav and Anna Haov Vulf. In 1978, "Scala", Estonian newspaper published some works of Molla Panah Vagif. The first Azerbaijani-Estonian dictionary, compiled by Vidadi Mamedov, has been published.
Since 1990 an Azerbaijani Sunday school has been working in Tallinn, as well as there's an Eastern Culture University in Tallinn which was named after Azerbaijani academician and ophthalmologist Zarifa Aliyeva.[11]
