Mark Sirők (sometimes erroneously spelt Mark Siryk, Mark Sirök or Mark Sirõk; see also ő) is a political activist of the pro-Putin movement Nashi, designated as Nashi "commissar" of Estonia.
Sirők was arrested by the Estonian police for participation in riots in Tallinn that left 150 people injured in April 2007.
State prosecutors accused Sirők of planning the Bronze Soldier riots in Tallinn with the support of the Kremlin since 2006. However, in January 2008 he was found innocent as he had been at home studying for his school exams.
His arrest was condemned by International Federation of Human Rights
Although supportive of Vladimir Putin, Sirők has said he supports the constitution of Estonia and is not anti-Estonian, only anti-racism and anti-fascist, and has called for the protection of Estonian speakers' rights as well as Russian speakers.
