delfi.ee (Madurese)

A Russian foundation is advertising Estonian lawyers' services without their knowledge or consent. The "Russian World" Defense Foundation, based in Moscow, lists six Estonian attorneys on its website, claiming they provide legal aid to Russian speakers and citizens in Estonia. All listed lawyers deny any affiliation with the foundation and state they never authorized the use of their names. The foundation, led by former Russian politician Sergei Baburin, aims to counter "disinformation" about Russia and promote its imperialist ideology. Estonian authorities are investigating potential sanctions violations related to the foundation's activities.
