Johannes Klesment (also Johannes Kleesment; 30 May 1896 Keila Parish (now Keila), Kreis Harrien – 23 December 1967 Washington, D.C.) was an Estonian politician. He was a member of the third and fourth legislatures of the Estonian Parliament,[1] representing the Estonian Socialist Workers' Party.[2] Klesment served as minister of justice in the Estonian government-in-exile from 1945 to 1953.[3] In the 1950s, Klesment also served as the editor of The Baltic Review,[4] a journal published in New York by the Committees for a Free Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania from 1953 to 1971.[5]
