Jaak Allik (born 6 October 1946)[1] is an Estonian theatre critic, theatre director and politician. He is a member of the Social Democratic Party, and was previously the Estonian Minister of Culture 1995–1999 (et|Eesti kultuuriminister). He was member of the VII, VIII and X Riigikogu.
Allik studied at the University of Tartu with a bachelor's degree in philosophy and a major in sociology and history, later working as a lecturer in that same university.[2] He worked as a theater director and designer in the 1980s, becoming the set designer for Ugala.
Because Allik had been a part of the Estonian Communist Party since 1971 (and, ultimately, the CPSU), he became part of groups such as the Supreme Soviet and involved with notable Estonian communists such as Mikk Titma and Indrek Toome. After an independent Estonia Allik was mainly a theater director and theater critic but still remained in politics.
Allik's parents were the communist politicians Hendrik Allik and Olga Lauristin during the 1940s. His maternal half-sister is the sociologist and politician Marju Lauristin. His son, Mihkel Allik, has been an advisor to the Chancellor of Justice. His cousin is the architect Vilen Künnapu.[3]
