And the Estonian government's decision to block exploration of a pipeline route:

Putin also has in mind the welcome Latvia gave to Berezovsky and President Bush's brother Neil:

Estonia is not anti-Russia because it is pro-US, it is pro-US because of its ongoing problems with Russia. Unless you've noticed, this is quite common for small countries threatened by big countries - to align with a big country that is against the threatening big country. Its all swell when you're sitting in the middle of the atlantic on an island sipping on your guiness, with the threat of British imperialism more or less gone.

Not really, he is saying that they openly allow SS veterans to have their commemorations.

I'm pretty sure I remember direct allegations that Estonia is some sort of 3rd reich re-incarnate from members of the Russian government but it may be that my memory fails me. Anyway, its a hell of a lot more than about SS veterans, did you forget the statue already? "The oppression of Russians"? The stream of slander and absurd accusations has reached completely other-wordly proportions. Completely surreal.

I myself wish Putin had left the whole topic alone.

He needs to whip up support and unity through vulgar displays of Russian chauvinism and misinterpretation of history.
