Russia vs. Estonia: More than cyberwar

Russia's deliberate cyberwar versus Estonia isn't the only method of attempted destabilization against its Baltic neighbor. The Baltic Times is reporting that Russia financed a tiny ethnic-Russian opposition party in Estonia's general election in March.

In addition to being an EU member, Estonia is in NATO as well. An attack against one, is an attack against all.

The Security Police poured oil into the fire of Estonia’s inter-ethnic relations last week after releasing its annual report in which the law enforcement agency claimed that Russia has financed political movements whose aim is the destabilization of the Baltic state. The Security Police singled out the Constitution Party, whose predominantly Russian constituents failed to win any seats in the March general elections, as a project created to undermine Estonia. The agency even accused the Russian Embassy of financing the upstart party.
