Russian influence operations in Estonia form a complex system of financial, political, economic and espionage activities in Republic of Estonia for the purposes of influencing Estonia's political and economic decisions in ways considered favourable to Russian Federation. Studying these operations is a significant part of counterintelligence activities of Kaitsepolitsei, the Estonian security service.

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.
