MOSCOW/VILNIUS, Feb 13 (Reuters) - Russian police have put Estonian Prime Minister Kaja Kallas, Lithuania's culture minister, and members of the previous Latvian parliament on a wanted list for destroying Soviet-era monuments, according to the Russian interior ministry's database. Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov said Kallas was wanted for the "desecration of historical memory". Russian state agency TASS said the Baltic officials were accused of "destroying monuments to Soviet soldiers", acts that are punishable by a five-year prison term under the Russian criminal code. *snip* The Baltic governments regard the monuments as propaganda tools constructed by their former imperial overlords. "The Kremlin now hopes this move will help to silence me and others – but it won't," Kallas said in a post on social media platform X. "I will continue my strong support to Ukraine. I will continue to stand for increasing Europe's defence."

Seriously funny!
If one were really cynical, one might suspect that Estonia is being set up as bait for NATO to go to war against a weakened Russia. At least they keep telling us excitedly how Russia is being weakened by Ukraine. Must be a reason why this is important to accomplish.
Soviet War Memorial in Sophia , Bulgaria.
That’s brilliant!
" ZEEPER FOLLIES PINGLIST!
(((PING!)))
... to be added to the best entertainment since Paul Shanklin parodies, ping me bro.
So Russia now claims that its laws apply to Estonia? Does anyone wonder why the ex-Soviet states want the protection of NATO?
Should add Nikki to that list.😉
I wish we had a similar list here in America of the politicians who have removed thousands of American monuments.
Historical statues, have been, and are being OFFICIALLY removed by our government and I bet none of you zeepers said a peep.
I wish Biden cared as much about preserving our country’s heritage as Putin cares about preserving Russia’s.
All the Baltic NATO puppets are trying to create tripwires for a larger war.
Latvia is in the process of stripping citizenship of ethnic Russians.
Of course the most dangerous was the Lithuania blockade of Kaliningrad, which they could renew at any time.
Good job. No let’s send him to Seatle.
