In Estonia, the leader of the Koos party, which promotes pro-Kremlin ideas, Oleg Ivanov fled to Russia with his wife.
This is reported by Postimees.
He says he will run his party remotely and plans to run in the next election.
According to Ivanov, pressure is being put on him to prevent him from running in the European Parliament and local self-government elections.
"In order to take a break and think a little about how we should move forward, I went on a trip with my wife. We traveled through ten countries and reached Russia," Ivanov said.
He also said that one of the reasons for leaving for Russia was his desire to "correctly celebrate May 9."
The political program of the Koos movement is openly pro-Kremlin ideas.
Leaders of political forces in their posts on social networks constantly emphasize that friendship with Russia is simply necessary and that Estonia's support for Ukraine is unacceptable.
