Estonia Weekly: High living expenses and rightful actions of Russian Military

This week, posters were mostly focused on the Estonian economy, with posts focusing on taxes and tax brackets, which according to them, impact the average citizen more than the rich.  Some posts wrote about the politicians giving the rich people more leniency.  There were also many posts about the high electricity bills and cost of living in Estonia, and how this was all caused by Kaya Kallas and her parliament.  Finally, the Russian embassy in Estonia shared a post from January which tells about Ukraine's attempt to have Russia labelled and aggressor state.  The post mentioned that this attempt was unsuccessful, and flipped the narrative around, claiming that Ukraine was targeting civilian areas, while the Russian army was only targeting miliary targets.

Main narratives:

  • Russian army is only targeting military targets, and is therefore not a terrorist state.
  • The high living expenses in Estonia are the fault of politicians in parliament
