Can Estonian nationalists advance the Kremlin’s agenda?

Nov 20, 2020 Estonian Life No. 47 2020

Yes they can. Through incredible gullibility. Their source for disinformation? The White House itself.

Undoubtedly Vladimir Putin is congratulating himself for the mutual admiration he has so successfully nurtured with Mr. Trump whose election fraud playbook seems to be written by Moscow. Putin hasn’t needed to spend any effort on preparing a script that players - many of them unwitting - in the USA and elsewhere could use to discredit an authentic democratic process and deepen the divisions already harming US society.

Interior minister Mart Helme (now resigned), former head of EKRE passed on Mr. Trump’s baseless claims the electoral fraud had occurred thus surely leaving Mr. Trump in power. He emphasized that Biden and his son Hunter were corrupt and that Mr. Trump will win “as a result of an immense struggle, maybe even bloodshed, but justice will prevail”. Helme referred to a dream in which he envisioned Mr. Trump walking through a field of “guts and entrails”. The gory and dramatic choice of words couldn’t be better chosen if done by a long-in-the-tooth Soviet propagandist.
