Estonian politics

In 2007, one of the primary goals of Russian activities in Estonia was achieving representation of the Constitution Party (Estonia), a minor political party headed by Andrei Zarenkov and run from Moscow, in Riigikogu, the Estonian parliament.

European politics

According to Postimees citing Kaitsepolitsei yearbook published in April 2009, Russian special services are trying to influence the 2009 European Parliament Elections in a way that would lead to election of somebody loyal to Kremlin, possibly Aleksei Semjonov or Dmitri Klenski, to the European Parliament. Russia is also trying to achieve assignment of a special status to the Russian language in EU organisations, which normally operate in languages of all member countries, although Russia is not a EU member.
